A practical half-day Napa and Sonoma wine tour from San Francisco with two wineries, tastings, Golden Gate views, and easy transport.
“This was a great way to see the wineries. We were a little surprised we went to Napa since we signed up for a trip to Sonoma. The wineries were beautiful, there could be more simultaneous wine tasting while the guides are talking. Our driver was also very kind and friendly! Although, a little overstimulating at times during the bus ride with lots of speaking. Overall a fun way to experience wine country.”

“We went on the half day tasting good job we did we would have been in no fit state to do anything else. Patrick was our driver, he gave us a commentary all the way and showed us the sights. A very knowledgeable man. We went to the Madonna winery first, Terri was excellent and she let us try lots of different varieties and let us try our favourites again and again. The second winery was very nice and arty and the surroundings were beautiful but the wine was not as flowing. Would 100% recommend this trip.”
Ride Napa’s vineyard backroads on an easy e-bike tour with a small group, local wine tasting, guide support, and bikes to keep exploring.
“This was a fun activity to do in Napa. Santino was an awesome guide with a lot of wine knowledge. He also took all the pictures for us so we could put our cameras away. We were a little disappointed that we didn’t go to Monticello for our tasting as in the description, but now see that “winery visits are subject to change.” The winery we went to “Hoopes” was charming.”
Review of the half-day Muir Woods and Sausalito tour from San Francisco, with redwoods, Golden Gate views, ferry option, and practical tips.
“We learned that Muir Woods schedules visits as our pick up time was changed by a few hours. But the Viator driver and guide were very friendly. It was nice being a smaller group. My only complaint is with the bus layout itself as you are unable to look out the front window (unless you duck your head to be waist level), especially during the windy road to the woods. Overall I highly recommend and would do it again.”

“Our tour guide Grady was excellent! He had to deal with a few women that were quite inebriated and risking their safety, but he handled it very well. We also had to make a pitstop before getting back to our return location and for that reason, you need to have access to a bathroom on the bus.”
