A few local tours that come to mind:

* Napa valley-- some vineyard tours (Beringer's caves and Sterling's tram
are always interesting)-- the wine train-- there are some delightful old
country inns if you want to stay overnight

* The north coast-- Muir woods-- Pt. Reyes-- Rt. 1 up to Mendicino

* Carmel and Monterey-- the aquarium, of course (their jelly fish exhibit
is incredible!)

* The gold country-- Sutter's mill-- Columbia-- Murphys, and Angel's Camp

* If they are skiers, Tahoe!

* Yosemite! If you drive and if they are interested in old airplanes,
don't miss the Flying Lady resturant in Morgan Hill on the way; or, for
Basque food, the Sheepherder's Inn in Los Banos.

* Reno, for a taste of American-style casino gambling (quite different
atmosphere from European casinos)

* Of course, San Francisco is worth a couple of days all by itself.
