Tracy_G, Sep 2026
Lovely day trip
Our driver Jeffrey greeted us on time and very enthusiastic! We stopped at Golden Gate Bridge for about 15 minutes, then off to our first wine tasting in Somona. It was very nice and beautiful however I read that we would have time to stroll the grounds a little but that did not happen after our wine tasting. We stopped for 2 hours in the plaza as free time which was very nice. Jeff had wonderful recommendations for us as far as restaurants in the plaza. When we were back on our bus we were told we weren’t going to Napa Valley, we were going to another winery back in Somona. The winery was beautiful, did the tasting for about an hour and then were told we had few minutes to walk around the building- which was fabulous. But again not what was written in the description of the tour of having time to stroll around the grounds. Overall it was a lovely day, just would’ve liked to sit down with a glass of wine outside and enjoy the sunshine and the grounds, and I didn’t understand why we didn’t go to Napa Valley as advertised.

Great trip and guide
We had a great time seeing the beauty of the California coast. Fred, our guide, was ready and waiting for us when we got to our hotel lobby. He apologized for being a bit early and even offered to stop right away for us to get morning coffee. We declined, but our first break was at a wonderful bakery in Pacifica. Along the drive, he offered history and insights on the the towns we passed through as well as the agriculture and flora. The views of Half Moon Bay, Carmel-by- the-Sea, and Big Sur were stunning. Would highly recommend this great trip, and Fred.

If your looking for the PERFECT GUIDE, ask for Marciano!!!
Marciano was beyond five stars — truly a 10/10! From the beginning, he felt less like our tour guide and more like part of the family. He laughed with us, joined our conversations, took amazing photos, shared great stories and movie trivia, and took us to beautiful places we didn't even know we needed to see.Most importantly, he was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating, especially while traveling with our elderly parents. He made our entire Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur experience easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. His knowledge, generosity, and genuine kindness are unmatched. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marciano!

A Perfectly Paired Wine Country Tour
Jeffrey made our trip to Sonoma and Napa fun and effortless. His easygoing vintage California personality "paired" perfectly with visits to two boutique wineries away from the commercial crowds. The small group made conversation easy. Booking and meeting up were simply and the tour was well paced--we never felt rushed and still had the evening to enjoy back in the city. Highly recommend!

Such a fun and memorable day trip! The Redwood Forest Steam Train was a unique experience, and the beautiful redwood scenery was incredible. We also loved spending time in Santa Cruz and enjoying the coast.Our guide Jason was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He kept everything organized, shared interesting information throughout the trip, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.A wonderful way to experience the redwoods and Santa Cruz in one day. Highly recommend this tour and Jason! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful private shore...
Wonderful private shore excursion at our own pace. Maddy picked us up promptly and drove us around the city highlights then out to Muir Woods where we were able to spend more time than the ship's tour allowed. We stopped at Sausalito for a snack and a stroll then headed back to pier 39. Nice day!

Great trip overall! I would love to have more time in Point Reyes. One hour is not very long to see the town, let along eat lunch. I’d rather skip the mead tasting or get back a bit later. Our guided Tristan was great and we really enjoyed ourselves…Its a great way to get an overview of the area

We had breakfast at the café near the bridge. It was a great place for the view. We did park a little bit away from the café since it was hard to find parking. You just have to walk uphill a little bit, the café was a bit crowded that day so you do have to have time. There is a long way to get a table and his first come first serve,

Very nice day. Muir Woods...
Very nice day. Muir Woods was beautiful. A little more time to enjoy it would have been great. The guide was excellent, providing information on the area and some history. Our Alcatraz time was more than enough. We had enough time to do the audio tour and explore all of the areas at our own pace. Highly recommend for anyone trying to see as much as possible in a short time.
