All Inclusive Temecula Wine Tour - Tastings, Lunch, Hotel Pickup

Brian_M, Jul 2026

A great experience!

Our day sarted with meeting our Tour guide/Driver Mindy who greeted us with a big smile and she let us know how the day was going to go. The bus was clean and comfortable. We went to 3 different wineries. They were all unique and staff were friendly. The wines were very good and the scenery was beautiful. The lunch provided was delicious and a good portion. Mindy kept us on schedule and did a little extra for us that was very much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Monterey's 17 Mile Drive Guided Electric Bike Tour, 3 hr

Crista_K, Jun 2026

Awesome tour guide!

Awesome ride for beginners! We opted for the family friendly coastal Monterey & 17 mile drive tour. Our group was small (6). Our tour guide, Katie was outstanding! Very friendly and accommodating staff. First experience with E-Bike. Highly recommend it! Loved it.

17-Mile Drive, Monterey Peninsula&Carmel Premium Small Group Tour

Harsha_K, Jun 2026

Fun trip

my tour of Monterrey, Carmel, and the iconic 17-Mile Drive was absolutely incredible, largely thanks to our amazing guide, Eric. From the moment the tour started, Eric brought fantastic energy, local knowledge, and a great sense of humor that kept everyone engaged. He knew all the best spots to stop for photos—from the dramatic coastlines to the Lone Cypress—and shared fascinating history and stories about the area that we never would have discovered on our own. Eric truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Anaheim to LA: Hollywood, Beaches & Famous Film Sites tour

Amy_B, Jun 2026

Awesome time!

We had a really good time with Alberto. He was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained. We were only in town (Anehiem) Sunday to Saturday with Disneyland, Disney California Adventures, and Universal Studios Hollywood booked. We didn't really have time to do much of anything else other than this tour and we got to experience LA and it was great! Highly recommend. I would also recommend being early back to the bus as a courtsey to everyone around you. This makes the trip much smoother. Set an alarm clock for when you need to go back to the bus and go. You will get to see more.

San Francisco Movie Sights City Tour

Joanne_C, May 2026

Brilliant tour, absolutely loved it.

Fantastic tour! Absolutely loved it. Wylie, our guide, was great, really entertaining and had lots of knowledge and fun facts about the city and the films and TV shows that were filmed there, we even had a bonus location at the end for one party who were fans of a certain show. Three hours felt like 20min! Would definitely recommend for anyone considering this. Really enjoyed it.

Discover Avalon: Catalina Scenic Tour

Gregor_S, May 2026

Fab tour of Catalina Island for time poor tourists

We booked this round robin trip around Catalina, having docked via our cruise (Ahoy, Virgin Voyagers). Being able to see the island and learn more about it from a local made this even more special. Great experience for tourists who have less than 4/5 hours to explore Catalina.

Whale Watching Excursion in Dana Point

Janelle_K, Mar 2026

The captain knew where to...

The captain knew where to go and was in contact with other boats about what they were seeing. He was great about telling us what side of the boat we needed to be in. And he said we saw an incredible 7 whales on our trip, as well as several groups of dolphins. They had drinks and made burgers available for purchase.

Yosemite National Park 2-Day Tour from San Francisco with Lodging

Marilyn_W, Sep 2025

Great experience!

Be prepared for a 2-3 mile hike at the early end of the trip. Have good shoes and water. The valley is just wonderful. We stayed in the Valley View Lodge which is abut 45 minutes outside of the park. The Valley Lodge is more convenient to the Yosemite Village where the museum, Ansel Adams gallery, shops, theatre, and food are located. I suggest the film about Yosemite at the theater too. The views up at the granite formations from the valley floor are incredible. It's a very peaceful and yet thrilling experience!

Snorkeling Adventure in La Jolla

Jay_K, Aug 2025

Great Experience Snorkeling

The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Jane, was knowledgeable and pleasant. We never would have done the cave without her. We felt safe in the water with her too. We had a great time and would not hesitate to book a tour with them again. If I can give one piece of advice to people taking the tour, Bring $5. We wanted to tip her at the end but of course left our money in the car for safety.
