I highly recommend this tour !! Amazing driver, dynamic, funny, always learning to us facts about every area we crossed.
Muir woods : love it ! maybe 30 min more would have been better.
Wineries we visited we amazing, beautiful and all different from each other. Great wine of course.
Sonoma was also great to visit, but 2 hours can be a lot, so 1h30 should be enough, adding the 30 min. to Muir Woods

Loved the Muir woods tour, but wouldn't do a wine tour in Sonoma again. There are three wine tours.The wine country tours gave very little information about the grapes of the region or the process of wine. If you like sweet wine, you won't like most of the wines as they are semi sweet or dry. The countryside of the region is beautiful and 2 of the vineyards are really nicely landscaped. We had 45 minutes to obtain lunch, and most of the stores are slow, and other tour buses are arriving all the time, so it gets very crowded. Order food as quickly as possible.

Brian was awesome. We had a great time. We were promptly picked up at the Argonaut Hotel and introduced to the fellow tour mates. Muir Woods was a nice hike through the giant redwoods. I have never been wine tasting before but the wineries were casual and very helpful. We went to the Cline winery first and had a blast, then to the Sonoma Square. First cheese sampling at the Cheese Factory, then excellent fish tacos at the local Mexican restaurant. The next winery was Homewood then Jacuzzi winery. On the way back to the hotels we stopped at the park just north of the Golden Gate bridge and watched for whale spouts. Alas no one showed up. But it was a delightful day. Brian was awesome and very informative, I will definitely do this tour again. Do not forget that the tour guides earn a 20% tip for there excellent service.
