Top California Bus Tours

Nate was our tour guide for our trip to Monterey/Carmel. Nate did a wonderful job throughout the trip. He was very personable and engaging, making everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. He was knowledgeable about the places we stopped during the trip. We especially enjoyed his comments on all the mansions on 17-mile drive. In Monterey, we spent the time visiting the aquarium, which Nate helped get us in around the long line attempting to enter. On this particular day, the aquarium was VERY busy and we unfortunately did not see a whole lot in our limited time there. This is not a reflection on Nate or the tour company, but be aware if you are thinking of going to the aquarium, you may be limited what you can see. The 17-mile drive was wonderful and the stop at Pebble Beach was great to experience, with Nate taking me to see the 18th hole as a special request. In Carmel, Nate's recommendation for the donut shop was spot on. Overall, a wonderful day and a highlight to our visit to SF.

Brian was great! He is a true SF native with deep ties to the community and that really showed on this tour. Despite having lived in SF myself for 6 years, I learnt a lot of cool new things about North Beach and even found some great food spots on the tour that we will definitely be revisiting. Whether you’re just visiting or a local, I would highly recommend this tour! You won’t be disappointed!

My family and I had a great time celebrating a birthday. Michael was our host and he made the experience memorable. He was very kind and attentive. He had great wine recommendations and was easy going. We were able to choose the music on tour bus and had a great time dancing! 10/10 recommend!

It was easy to load the video, I appreciate the fact that I was given options where the narration would start. The facts & entertaining stories made it fun and the narration coordinated well with our location. We have a great time with it. We will definitely load other locations.

Take the behind the scenes experience at the Wilson creek winery. It’s a great experience with knowledgeable staff. It makes the experience. Liz our tour guide and Bill the driver made for a great time. Liz had a lot of energy and spunk. While Bill took a load off and made the experience feel safe.

The Discover Avalon Scenic Tour was a relaxing and enjoyable way to see more of Catalina Island. We rode on a comfortable double-length open-air bus, which made it easy to take in the ocean breeze and beautiful views along the way. We started by driving through Avalon’s charming neighborhoods before winding up into the hills, where we passed gorgeous multi-million-dollar homes with incredible views overlooking Avalon Bay. Our driver was so sweet and shared interesting stories about the island’s history, the Wrigley family, and what it’s like to live on Catalina. From there, we continued past the heliport area to the other side of Avalon before climbing to the top of the hill. We made a photo stop at one of the scenic overlooks, where the panoramic views of Avalon Bay, the iconic Catalina Casino, and the surrounding hills were absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting Avalon for the first time, I’d definitely recommend this tour. It’s a great way to get your bearings, learn a little about the island’s history, and take in some spectacular scenery at a relaxed pace.

We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Tom was extremely knowledgeable and exuded a true love for the national park. I am thankful that I joined this tour. I would not have gotten as much out of the day if I had experienced the park on my own. An added bonus was Tom’s great playlist! - Kristen

In February, we toured with our private guide, Jeff Wynne, for several hours through wonderful winding residential and commercial areas and fantastic sightlines of the natural beauty of the LA area while using the location on our google map app to understand the areas we were driving through. All without having to rent a car or worry about the traffic or the preferences of other tourists! Jeff has a deep understanding of movie and tv studio evolution over decades and provided a very entertaining running commentary about the fabulous homes and those who have lived there. Our tour was based on our specific preferences for tourist sites to experience in person. Jeff’s encyclopedic knowledge of all things LA created a perfect tour for us on our first visit to the city
