Lovely day trip
New York City
Wine Country Shuttle from San Francisco
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.

Great mix of tasty food, food history, & picturesque views
We had an excellent food tour with Dale who was very knowledgeable, funny, and a great guide! The tour itself was a great mix of tasty food, food history, picturesque views, and general San Francisco history as well. We've done several food tours in the past this was one of the best in terms of spacing the food stops out enough that you had enough time to enjoy what you were eating while also having sufficient time between stops to digest each tasty morsel. This tour is a great way to get an intro to San Francisco and its food scene. Highly recommend!

Our guide Judice was fantastic and shared a lot of history along the ride. Muir Woods was so gorgeous and peaceful. Sausalito was quaint. We loved the bridge views from Golden Gate. The Alcatraz portion was just ok.

Great day out
Good experience. The bikes were good but could do with a holder for a mobile phone for using a sat nav. Better to book your ferry back separately as its cheaper. Had a great day out, cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge. What's not to like?

If your looking for the PERFECT GUIDE, ask for Marciano!!!

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!

Awesome trip to Muir and beyond
I hired Nik to show me and five friends the highlights on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge - Muir Woods, Sausalito, the bunkers, and so on. It was fantastic for multiple reasons. First, the itinerary was a true collaboration between us - I had a ton of ideas and Nik figured out how to translate that into a coherent itinerary that made logical sense taking into account distances, times of day, and the weather. Second, because he grew up in the area, his commentary was personal anecdotes that put what we were seeing in greater sociological context. Third, whenever the weather turned crappy, which happened a lot, he could instantly pivot to a perfect Plan B. Fourth, he went above and beyond to arrange things we needed that I could not have done myself because I was coming from out of town, including a birthday cake (!) for someone in the group, which was served in the perfect scenic spot. Fifth, his recommendation lunch place was awesome and I never would have known about it. Sixth, it was just a good vibe overall with someone who was on our wavelength and not just a robotic and overly formal guide. Anyway, I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, highly recommend.

Customizable and learned a lot!
We booked this tour after a conference because most of us had a red-eye back east. This was a perfect tour for our group because the guide was able to modify the tour as she learned more about us. It started in Chinatown and ended at the wharf and was absolutely a wonderful value for the money. Highly recommend!

Excellent experiences in San Francisco area
Very organized and easy to book. Trip up to Muir Woods was excellent. Our tour guide was so funny as well as providing us with info along the way. Sausalito was charming and had enough time to explore and relax. Returned to FW in plenty of time to catch ferry to Alcatraz. Was an audio guide there, run by the Park Service, and was a little underwhelming, but that part is not under trip control. Overall an excellent way to spend the day and have some iconic experiences.
