Remarkable - Yosemite and Tour Guide
My wife and I had the most wonderful time on the tour. The guide was wonderful and made sure we saw all the top destinations of Yosemite as well as the learn the history of Yosemite including how it became a national park as well as the capital of rock climbing. I highly recommend this tour!

Great intro to area wineries with a few bonus stops!
This was a very good tour for the price. After being picked up at our hotel, we stopped at a lookout point to take photos, then on to the first winery in Sonoma which took about an hour to get there. It was the Jacuzzi family winery which specializes in varietals from Italy and we tried three wines and toured the property and learned about winemaking and the family. Afterward, there was an opportunity to taste olive oil and balsamic vinegars in their shop and purchase products and wine. Then we stopped for lunch in Sonoma. There were lots of options to choose from and with 1.5 hours, plenty of time to eat without feeling rushed. Our guide, Ron, gave excellent suggestions. We chose Della Santina and were happy we did. Then it was back in the van to head to Napa and the second winery which was Artes, a more modern, larger winery with sweeping views of the Napa Valley. The original family that started that winery came from Spain, so many of the varietals were Spanish and it was interesting to see how a large operation and small operation vary along with how the different wines taste -- we tried four wines here. Rick, our guide at Artes, was also terrific. Afterward, we headed back to the city with a stop in Battery Spencer park to take photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a really nice addition as it was incredibly crowded and an uber/taxi to go up there from the hotel would've likely cost as much as the entire tour given how long we sat in traffic. We got great pics! Then we were dropped off at the front door of our hotel in time for dinner.

GREAT Tour Experience!!
Marc and his team are amazing! Super responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about the San Fran area and wine country. Marc was not only entertaining, but also very friendly and went out of his way to accommodate us. I would absolutely use his tour company for all future trips to San Fran. You should too!

Great time! Book this one, stop searching!
This tour is great! It hit all the spots on my list, plenty of photo opportunities and fun facts. I went solo as I was in town for business and thought it was a great option- very safe and easy pick up location. Great communication before and after the tour.

Fun Adventure
Such an awesome half day tour. Sadly, I forgot the name of the woman who picked us up but I think she's from Bulgaria. More importantly, she was amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. She knew how to get around and made good recommendations. Muir Woods was my favorite part of the tour. Thank you so much!

Incredible Adventure
Glenda went above and beyond for us. She came exactly at 5am and brought us to every incredible area in Yosemite. Even the market before Yosemite was a great choice because we bought breakfast, lunch and snacks from there. After the tour, Glenda took us back to our hotel. How one person could do all this beginning at 5am blows my mind. Thank you so much Glenda!

This is an auto narrated trip. You can get some spectacular views of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges you'd only see off from the bay. The timing of this 1.5 tour was a perfect way to spend some time before heading off to a nice lunch or dinner. It's a great way to break up your day if you're interested in a view of the city by boat. It really put the layout of the city into perspective.

It’s a long day, but a great trip. Our driver, Robert, was wonderful. He was energetic and served us water and snacks during the day. We stopped at beautiful overlooks with time for photos and bathroom breaks. Robert explained each stop and narrated other details of the area while driving. We had a lunch break in Monterey and my family and I were able to go to the aquarium during this break. We bought the aquarium tickets ahead of time. Highly recommend!

It was a wonderful tour to see the sights of the city before heading to GG bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito.
Our tour guide, Sully, was WONDERFUL! His knowledge about the history of the city, with his friendly personality, made this an extra-special tour.

Amazing 1/2 day trip
Micheal was a great host and I appreciated that I could be picked up at my hotel. The drive wasn’t too long and Micheal had lots of details about the local history. The Muir Woods was amazing but a bit colder than I anticipated so I ended up having to buy a sweatshirt up at the gift shop. Bring a good jacket. The redwoods were absolutely breathtaking. Saulsalito was a gorgeous little harbor town. We only had an hour in Saulsalito so if I had to do it again I would forgo the tourist shops and sit down at a nice restaurant instead. I highly recommend this half day tour and would definitely do it again.
