What a wonderful tour! Loved every single second! Our tour guide, Brian, was so accommodating, knowledgeable and fun. Muir Woods was serene and beautifull of course we would have loved more time there, but the wineries were calling. The 3 wineries we visited were amazing, lunch in Sonoma was fabulous, the weather was gorgeous and the view of the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of the tour was breathtaking. This tour is worth every penny!

We really enjoyed the day trip to Sonoma. I went with my boyfriend for his birthday and this tour was one of our highlights on our San Francisco trip. We also couldn't have asked for better weather. I read many reviews about the trip before booking and everyone was right to give it five stars!
There were a total of 14 of us on the tour which was a mix of couples and small group of friends. Our tour guide Brian was great. He was very informative and answered all of our questions. He picked us up right in front of our hotel. He was a little early for our scheduled pick-up time but that wasn't a problem for us. We first visited Muir Woods. There was a 10 entry fee but it was worth it to see the tall trees.
We visited three wineries throughout the day in Sonoma. We visited one in the morning and two in the afternoon. I thought we had the perfect amount of time at each winery. We also enjoyed our time in Sonoma Square for lunch and Brian told us the best spots for cheese and chocolate samples! Towards the end of the trip we stopped at a great spot for a photo op to see the sunset and Golden Gate Bridge. I would definitely recommend this day trip. It's a great value for what you're getting!

Excellent tour guide, very accommodating with pickup's - Brian! Tip....If you don't have a good tour guide don't waste your money. The winery's were very busy and Brian booked us in private tasting rooms with exactly enough time to taste, shop and get back to the bus on time. Brian was the most knowledgeable guide we've ever had, he even showed us to the free snacks at each winery, and at Sonoma square. If your lucky enough to get Brian, your in for an excellent trip with lots of good photo stops!
