Very nice tour, which enables to combine 2 different experiences. It was a bit frustrating not to be able to spend more time in Muir Woods. Our guide was really nice and the wineries in Sonoma were great.
The Muir Woods were well worth seeing! The three wineries we were taken to probably are the closest ones available rather than the best. I appreciated the stop over at the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back to town for a picture. The driver was informative and knowledgeable with the city, however I felt a little rushed at all the stops. None-the-less, I would recommend this trip.
This was one of the best guided tours we have experienced for a good while. Pick up at hotel was on time. The bus was very comfortable and the guide / driver was first class being both knowledgeable and amusing. Muir woods was my first experience of seeing such huge trees and I was not disappointed. Walk through and you experience a great feeling of tranquility. We usually walk as opposed to amble and had plenty of time to take photographs and do the complete round trip following the long trail to bridge 4 and returning by the high path. We visited three wineries. The first and second were relatively small and informal. The third one was a bit larger with some nice grounds to walk round plus a largish gift shop. Sonoma was for us an interesting place reminding us of the small country towns in Australia. We stopped in one of the coffee shops located by the square and fell into a conversation with one of the locals who told us of a few places to look at including the hotel and the 'cheese factory'. This proved to have interesting memorabilia inside whilst recognising the contribution of tourists to the local economy was a little sad about the gentrification which had taken place. But his advice added to our enjoyment as we walked around the town which would not have been possible if we had spent time over a more substantial lunch.
On the way back, the driver took us up to look over the Golden Gate bridge. All in all, we both felt the tour was excellent and good value.
