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.

Napa and Sonoma Premium Small Group Wine Tour from San Francisco

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.

Great tour. We saw a lot of San Francisco’s famous sites, stopping every so often for photo ops. I was very happy that we were able to stop at the bridge for photos. Spent just the right amount of time at Muir Woods so we could hike and take in the beauty of nature. We also added the Alcatraz tour, amazing. Our tour guide made the tour extraordinary; he had lots of stories and information about the city.

It was a great tour around SanFrancisco. Our tour guide Eric was very knowledgeable and he knew his way around the city. He took us to a number of little places that you wouldn’t get on other tours. I would recommend Fogcutter Tours to anyone who is looking to learn about all things in the city of San Francisco from a fantastic and personable tour guide.

Ask for Peter!
The tour was perfectly organized and a VERY relaxing and efficient use of our first day in San Francisco. Unbelievable photo opportunities of the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods was both simple and enchanting. Many available hikes if that’s your thing. The stop in Sausalito was very quaint and an excellent stop for lunch. If booking, call ahead of time and request Peter!! An exceptional guide and a wonderful person to spend the day with!!

Fun and unique boat ride

San Francisco Bay Adventure Sightseeing Cruise
Nomad23978510541, Sep 2026
Fun and unique boat ride
I'd recommend this ride even if you're not a tourist — it's a great way to see the city from a different angle. Unlike the other boat rides around the Embarcadero, this one sits lower on the water, so it feels a lot more intimate with the bay.Our larger belongings got stored in a secure box at the dock. I wore a sling underneath the waterproof jacket they gave us, and I'd brought my own waterproof pants too, but they had extra-large ones and sunglasses on hand for anyone who needed them.The captain was a San Francisco native and said he's been doing this since the 1990s — so he's a pro.The ride sometimes went fast, which was fun, and I did get splashed a little bit.
