This was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it to visitors the the area. In addition to being super friendly, our tour guide, Paul, was amazingly well-informed about local history, wildlife, plant life and the wine making process in general. A very informative trip. You start the day with almost two hours at Muir Woods, which is more than enough time. Then you visit a winery, the city of Sonoma and two more wineries. All were excellent stops and there was plenty of great wine to be had. A definite highlight of our trip to San Francisco.

This was such a great tour - just what we were hoping for! Our tour guide Brian was friendly, knowledgeable, responsible, and excited for us. Muir Woods is beautiful - and the three wineries were the perfect number for one day. The van was comfortable and clean - highly recommend!

Pickup was on time, 12 people going on a full day adventure. No regrets. Saw great redwoods in the early morning hours in late November (bring a coat and hat, it's colder out there). The guide really seemed to care that we made it out there before the rest of the crowd to give us the best experience. Visited 3 different vineyards, and probably tasted somewhere around 20 different wines in total. We also stopped by the town of Sonoma to eat. The guide pointed us to additional free cheese and chocolate tastings, which wasn't something that had been advertised and probably isn't on every tour. I think when theres something like this happening, the guide will let you know. Without exaggeration Brian was the best guide I've ever had on ANY trip. He really delivered by including interesting bits of trivia of the city and the surrounding areas as we drove through them. Also took us to look at the sunset at a place overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back. Great value, great way to spend a day of our visit to San Francisco.
