Our tour guide Paul was wonderful. He went the extra mile at every turn. He was even kind enough to get my husband two bottles of rare beer. Or, as he said the holy grail of beers. Many thanks to Paul for a wonderful day.

What an awesome day! Brian was so much fun and so informative. We had a great group and the tour was more than worth the cost. I would definitely recommend this. We can't wait to come back!

Excellent tour. Our tour guide Brian was informative with a great sense of humor. Could have used a little more time at Muir Woods but there were issues with possible traffic problems due to a Nascar race at Sonoma Raceway so we tried to avoid that. Wine tasting at Sonoma wineries was a pleasant experience -- relaxed and no sales pressure. Especially enjoyed the Jacuzzi Winery, a replica Italian villa from the Jacuzzi family's original home in Italy. Beautiful grounds and the wine was good as well. Sonoma was a nice stop for lunch. Very relaxed a low-key without some of the snootiness I've found in the past in Napa. Enjoyed great gelatos at the Sonoma Cheese Factory. One of my favorites parts of the trip came near the end when Brian took us down Steve McQueen's famed Bullitt car chase scene -- of course at a lot safer speed. Very enjoyable trip.
