Breathtakingly
This was a wonderful tour with a peaceful walk in Muir Woods. For seniors there is the option to decline the entry fee and use your National Park Pass. Several on our tour didn’t realize this. The stop in Sausalito was nice for the ice cream and views, our guide took us on a drive through the headlands stopping for the most magnificent views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this small group tour!

Bachelor Party with 9 People
Booked this for my bachelor party and it was a fantastic experience all around.
To start — I accidentally booked the wrong date, and the company handled it seamlessly. They found a new driver, locked in a different date, and made it all work without any hassle. That kind of customer service really stood out and I'm grateful for it.
Our group was nine guys, all around six feet tall, so I was a little worried about space. No issues at all — everyone fit comfortably in the Hummer. Our tour guide was great, kept the energy up the whole time with entertaining stories, solid jokes, and interesting facts about Joshua Tree and the surrounding area that none of us had heard before. We hit all the key spots in the park and everyone came away feeling like they got the full experience. The music was on point and the Hummer ride itself was a blast.
Highly recommend.

Excellent Trip
The experience was phenomenal! Our host? Robert made it even more phenomenal! Robert was very accommodating and very nice. He made sure we were comfortable for the duration of the 12-hour trip. The views were beautiful and my husband and I were able capture great memories!

The Best Tour!
It was a lot of fun! Mike, our driver, was very knowledgable about everything. Having never been to California, I saw all the things you hear about around Los Angeles but have never seen. I saw the Hollywood sign, drove down Sunset strip, went through Beverly Hills, walked Rodeo Drive, spent time at Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier and so much more. It was a great tour!

This is a great way to...
This is a great way to see Joshua Tree without having to rent a car or do the driving yourself! Tom was a friendly fun knowledgeable host who gave the local perspective and kept us engaged while also allowing us to experience JT for ourselves. Would highly recommend!

Worth it!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.

Enjoy stunning sights on a bike
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.

Great experience- highly recommend
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.

Good to Support Small Wine Growers in 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.

My sister and I went on...
My sister and I went on the small group tour of Sonoma in late September this year and had a lovely afternoon. Army was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job explaining where we were going and the history of the area. Our tour had 14 people, included a couple that had been on the tour previously. Ang and her partner from Utah helped break the ice on the bus and by the end we were all talking and laughing like old friends. The wineries were all a little different but the wine was great at all of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again.

Amazing Redwoods!
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!

Exceeded expectations!
Wear a jacket, windbreaker.
Fantastic, ! Exceeded expectations! Boats communicate with each other regarding location of whales and sightings that day. We saw 20 whales; breaching, playful. Crew said it was the closest to the boat breeach they experienced- about 20 yards away. We were in the middle of a pod of hump back whales.
