Napa and Sonoma Premium Small Group Wine Tour from San Francisco
Lynne_J, Sep 2026
A great day in Sonoma/ napa.
It was a very nice first experience to napa. A great getaway from Sanfrancisco. Also It was great way to see highlights of the city. It was great not to have to drive. The tour group was small. Sonoma plaza area was really nice. It is a fun place to spend a couple hours. The cheese factory charcuterie was so good. The sandwiches at the butcheman bbq was delicious! We really enjoyed visiting Artesa winery it was a very nice time.

Highly Recommend this Tour of Sonoma and Napa
Robert was a great driver and tour guide. Our first stop was a view of the Bay Bridge and then on Sonoma.At Jacuzzi winery in Sonoma we enjoyed the tour of the beautiful property reminiscent of an Italian villa, the wine, and the opportunity to taste flavored olive oils and vinaigrettes in the gift shop. Then on to Sonoma plaza for lunch where Robert gave great recommendations for restaurants and ice cream.We traveled on to Artesa winery in Napa. It is built into the hillside and very modern looking with clean lines and beautiful tasting areas and patios. The two wineries we visited provided a wonderful contrast from the centuries old look of Jacuzzi winery to the modern look of Artesa. At Artesa after wine tasting we rode with Robert down to the vineyards for all you cared to eat grapes from the vine. Robert provided water bottles to wash them off.Our last stop was the Golden Gate Bridge. Robert warned us that the temperature was 20 degrees cooler than it was in Napa and it was very windy. So we donned our jackets and left hats and sunglasses behind for a short uphill hike to get photos.Overall I highly recommend the tour and Robert as driver/tour guide. Our only issue is that our friends from our cruise who were going with us got sick with the flu and had to cancel the night before. I would like to request a credit to be used in the future since I paid for all of our tickets and I use Cool San Francisco quite often.

Alcatraz with Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour

Muir woods/Alcatraz tour
Me and my husband had a wonderful experience with the tour that was booked with Cool San Francisco. We were picked up at the arranged time, taken to the golden gate bridge where we had 10/15mins for photo opportunity, thank driven to Muir woods stayed for an 1 1/2 hours. Muir woods was not too busy at that time of the morning but when we left it had started to get busy. We than drove to Sausalito and spent an hour around the marina. There was a farmers market and lots of quaint little shops definitely worth visiting. We were than dropped off at Pier 33 with ample time. Given our Alcatraz tickets. We waited for the ferry. Alcatraz is definitely a must. Very eerier and sad to see how the prisoners had lived. What they must have endured. The tour was well organised and our guide Buddy was very knowledgeable in all areas and definitely kept us entertained Have booked a few tours with Cool San Francisco now. Always a good experience.

Full Day Tour: Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Napa & Sonoma Wineries
Octavia_G, Aug 2026
🍷✨ A little wine, a little luxury, and a day well spent 🥂🌿
If you’re looking for an effortless way to escape San Francisco and experience wine country, add this tour to your list 🤍From the moment we left the city, the day was relaxed and beautifully paced. Our driver, Steve, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable and arrived safely. The soft music along the way was such a lovely touch. 🚐🎶Korbel Vineyard was absolutely beautiful and steeped in history. 🍇✨ And the Korbel Deli? Chef’s kiss 🥪🤌🏾 The perfect little bite after wine tasting. We even spotted a couple saving their sandwiches for a redwood trail picnic… effortlessly romantic. 🌲💕Russian River Vineyard was equally charming, with more of a refined restaurant-meets -wine-tasting atmosphere. 🍷🍽️My only note: the panoramic windows made for gorgeous views, but the bus did get a bit warm at times. ☀️Overall, this was such a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable way to experience wine country without worrying about driving. Highly recommend for a girls’ day, a romantic outing, or simply a “I deserve a beautiful day” kind of day. 💅🏾🥂

Monterey, Carmel and 17-Mile Drive: Full Day Tour from SF

Full day tour was really nice
The tour was pretty much what we expected. Timing at each spot was great. Our driver/guide, Danny, was very nice. The only concerns we had was the front windshield was cracked all the way across which was a little unnerving and I don’t know if it is CA roads or if the van needs new shocks but the ride was very bumpy at times so it made it hard to understand what Danny was saying. The two different pick up spots made it very convenient. All in all, it was a really nice day.

Fun Thing to DO
I had the greatest experience from the moment we walked in! Excellent service! Traveling from AZ and wanted his birthday to be rememberable. The whole team was so helpful, place was clean and everything was handled in a timely manner. The staff were kind, energic, professional, spoke clearly with directions, on time, and did exactly what they said they would do. Also LOVED it. This is the kind of local business I would definitely recommend, IFLY Union City, and buy the All-Media package. Video and photos were, Clear and fun to watch afterwords. Can’t wait till we come back again. Thank you Staff again for making his birthday GREAT!!!

A bit of a mix up, but they took good care of us.
We booked this combo tour, but not enough other people did, so they canceled it. Issues like this come up, but it’s how a company handles it that make the difference. They put us on two 1/2 day tours, one for the redwoods and one for wine country. It worked out well. We even got to have lunch in Sausalito! Driver/guides were fun. Good tours.

So much fun and wonder memories!!
Lawrence was an great guide and our whole family truly had an amazing time. We enjoyed a wonderful view while learning how to catch crab. Lawrence not only provided all the needed supplies but also clear simple instructions on how it's done. If thats not enough he also cooked us a delicious lunch with the crabs we caught, you can't get any fresher than that!

Beautiful Monterey and Carmel
A beautiful trip. Monterey was beautiful , 7mile drive offered amazing views of the shoreline and beyond. Wish we had more time in Carmel by the Sea to explore the beach. The hour given isn’t enough for getting a bite to eat, view the beach and shop for trinkets. All in all was a scenic day. Driver Don with Cool Destinations was great, lots of insight.
