Top California Day Trips - page 3

Had so much fun biking 17-mile drive! Can’t leave Monterey/Carmel without experiencing this tour. Check-in was easy, and I was set up with an e-bike per my preference. I felt confident and super safe riding. Tour guide, Flo, is a rockstar, and I’m a fan! Friendly, welcoming, professional, and informative.

Not much to say specifically- it was just as advertised. I was more than happy with the length and content. The trees were not of this world. The commentary was very good. Our guide had tons of personality, he was hilarious without being annoying. We loved the whole day. We will be back!

We had an excellent experience with Erik as our driver for our Napa wine tasting tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared great insights throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Erik was very personable and had great banter, making the day fun and engaging. He was also extremely attentive and always available to accommodate our plans, ensuring everything ran smoothly. He truly elevated our trip, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting Napa.

Communication was good prior to the wine tour and Courtney picked us up at the hotel in a comfortable minibus. We were joined by 5 other families and visited 3 wineries for the day. Courtney was energetic and provided a good overview of the Napa Valley and her passion showed throughout the day. The wineries were lesser known smaller boutique which was good for us to support small businesses. Unfortunately for the wine growers, they are experiencing a drop in wine consumption as well as exports. Many of the grapes were left on the vines unharvested. This tour is perfect for my daughter's first wine visit and she enjoyed it very much.

What a great, fun day! Trevor was fantastic! The walk in the Armstrong woods was amazing, trees are just incredible! The temperature was just right. Next having lunch at Kendal Jackson winery did not disappoint! Over all we had a great time! Definitely try this one!

The tour included San Franscico, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz. My favorite was Muir Woods and Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. The San Francisco part of the trip was more of a very high-level drive through for the most part. It was fine to give a better idea of what to see in more depth. Per was a wonderful tour guide and highly recommend him. Dylan Tours is a smaller tour company and I recommend booking tours with them.

Very easy to book and the trip started right on time. Lester was a funny and knowledgeable guide! Muir Woods was amazing; I could have stayed there 3 hrs vs the 1.5 hrs allotted. Only issue I had is with motion sickness on the bus ride. No fault of the tour company, but warning to others who suffer from motion sickness to prepare properly. Learning about Marin County and Sausalito was nice, but not a place I’d want to visit again. Crossing the Golden Gate bridge was a treat! Overall, one of the better tours!

We had the most incredible time with Santa Barbara Adventure Company! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully curated. The tour guide, Johannes was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wine and the Santa Ynez Valley region. Each stop on the tour offered a unique experience—from stunning vineyard views to intimate tastings with local winemakers. The transportation was comfortable, and the pace of the tour felt just right—not rushed, but never dull. We especially appreciated the behind-the-scenes access at one of the wineries and stories that brought each winery to life. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just getting started, this tour offers something for everyone. Highly recommend!! ⸻
