Trips & Tours

Join us for a fun day exploring destinations in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Trips include exploring small towns; attending performances; visiting wineries, gardens, zoos, museums, and other interesting and scenic destinations.

Every trip includes luxury coach transportation. We arrange all logistics and pre-pay fees associated with the trip, including any gratuities, to ensure a memorable day trip experience. No-host lunch unless otherwise indicated.

Each trip is escorted by a kind, friendly trip escort who will accompany travelers and serve as the liaison with contacts at every destination so that you can focus on enjoying yourself! Let us take care of everything while you create wonderful memories you'll have for a lifetime.

Trips are for adults, 18 years and older, and include all fees and gratuities. Trips are offered by VIP Trips and Travel, in conjunction with the Pleasanton Senior Center. Pick-up and drop-off will be at the Pleasanton Senior Center, (5353 Sunol Boulevard, Pleasanton). However, if at least 10 participants from Dublin register for a trip, a pick-up will also be at the Dublin Senior Center (7600 Amador Valley Boulevard).

Register online through the Adults 50 & Better section of the Activity Guide, register in person, or mail a check to the Dublin Senior Center. Maximum 30 people per trip.
