Day trip to Yosemite National Park
The trip was memorable. Michael, who drove us and guided us throughout the trip was truly amazing. He took care of all the smallest details to ensure that we were always comfortable and enjoyed our trip thoroughly surrounded by intersting informations around the various highlights. We got enough time for taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. Definitely a highlight besides the park itself: the picknick incl. some great wine. We fully enjoyed the beauty of Yosemite Park and the various sights on the way to the park.

Best tour we have ever been on!
Eric‘s VIP tours was one of our favorite parts of our trip to San Francisco. We went on the SF ultimate combo tour. We had so much fun with Eric! He was so knowledgeable about the city and showed us its beauty. He was flexible with time , and at no time did we fill rushed when making stops to see the sites. We were so impressed with Eric. He truly has a talent for what he does. We highly recommend exploring the city of San Francisco with Eric‘s VIP tours. It’s easy to tell he has a heart for the city and for those who want to see all Th City By The Bay has to offer.

You’re Amazing
We used Eric’s VIP tours for two days in SanFrancisco. Erie is very punctual, professional, and patient. He’s quite knowledgeable about San Francisco and Muir Woods. We also experienced Yosemite with Eric’s Private tours. Incredible that we saw so much of the park, did two hikes, had super chill lunch in the park, and did not feel rushed at any time.

Sonoma Coast Tasting Tour: Cheese, Honey, Oysters, Wine and Oils
Cheryl_L, Dec 2024
Information and Food!
We had the opportunity to be taken around by Karill the owner. There were only two of us on this excursion. He picked us up on time and gave us lots of back ground and history as we drove through North Beach and towards the destinations listed in the program. I think because there were only two of us - we made some extra stops because we had extra time to see more sites. We have done many of these food and wine tours, This one was a little different due to none of the tastings are included. The cheese tasting they say is included I would classify more as a sampling of what they have offering that morning which were three cheeses. Then you buy what you want and enjoy a breakfast at the picnic tables overlooking the expansive landscape. We really enjoyed the Meadery. All of their mead is sparkling - you must sample both flights! Lunch along Hwy 1, outdoor, overlooking the seascape was lovely. The oysters, soup, crab and bread were all delicious. Then off to the Ranch for another wine tasting. we chose to do a wine flight and an olive oil/gelato flight. I know it sounds strange - olive oil and gelato - but it works! So good! This outing is a great opportunity to support small businesses that focus on what they do best, either cheese, mead, wine, olive oil products or seafood. I suggest going as a group to maximize the cost of the excursion because you are paying for the transportation, but definitely a must do!

Great day in Yosemite with Best Bay Area Tours
Before booking my trip I called different tour companies. I booked both the Small Group to Armstrong Redwoods and Wineries along with a Small Group tour to Yosemite with Best Bay Area Tours. Brian and Phil were exceptional in answering all questions and concerns and the team emails the day before the tour with contact information as well as timeline expectations. They picked up at hotel on schedule. As I already wrote a review about Joe (Tour for small group to Redwoods...tour taken on Monday)...and was content that at least one trip exceeded expectations.On Tuesday I went to Yosemite...Brian was our tour guide to Yosemite and the small bus held 10 adventurous souls, only 3 were from the US. Somehow Brian bridged the "unknown cultural/language" Gap! The whole bus became more like a family watching out for each other as we had plenty of downtime hiking Yosemite. Brian was very knowledgeable, professional and basically just fun! He had the telescope ready for El Capitan where we were able to spot a free solo climber, he took shortcuts to circle back to sites as the weather cleared for the perfect photos along with stopping at spots not on a schedule for photos...his personal picks. He then followed up the next day with an email of photos and videos of our group! He thought of everything...the intro...the tour...and the conclusion. I had a great time. Best Bay Area Tours was awesome! I have booked tours through Viatour/ Cool San Francisco for 5 years...all were good... This tour company was exceptional! Thank you!

Alcatraz visit
This was our first time we got electronic tickets and they seem to very much know how to get you onto the ferry very organized and explain things well. The people were pleasant. It was a great experience. Definitely glad we visited this time and I was shocked today to hear that President Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz. That would definitely be something, but I don’t see how that’s possible. Wish we would’ve went to the bookstore to see the inmate that wrote a book of his experience, but there just wasn’t enough time for us.

The two wineries we visited were great. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our only criticism would be that the first, smaller winery we visited, the gentleman showing us the wines was a little arrogant and we didn't feel completely at easy. Overall the trip was great.

Leasurely 6 hours scenic drive with two fine wine tastings.
Excellent, spacious car and friendly and discrete driver. Car company picked out from the very wide offer of tastings in the Sonoma and Nappa valleys two tastings to our request/parameters, two very different vineyards and winemakers but both knowledgeable and offering nice wines for tasting, both very different in presentation styles.

The trip was all worth for a day trip, but expect not to see everything in Yosemite. We used our 3 hour free time and stayed only in one of the waterfalls, which is a good experience.Some leftover minutes were spent at the Cafeteria ..and enjoyed charting with newfound friends.
