What are people saying about California

Christie_H, Oct 2026

Fantastic Forest and Fun Finds

Muir Woods was so much more than expected. With only 90 minutes to explore and other tour groups already there, I was shocked that we saw deer, wild turkeys, and an otter while on the trail. The redwoods were stunning and we were able to enjoy our walk without feeling overly rushed. We also had time to browse the gift shop and visit the ranger station. We enjoyed the second portion as well. We opted to return by ferry instead of the bus, which allowed us to have a leisurely lunch and shop the boutique stores. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the tour.

Donna_G, Sept 2026

Fun Educational and An exciting Way to see the Coast

It was a fun way to cover a lot of sightss ss in the area. Loves riding the e-bikes, and Suzy was a great leader. She answered all our questions, gave us time to explore and insured our group of 8 were safe. The e-bikes were fun to ride! The coastline was beautiful!

Deborah_S, Sept 2026

Our guide was really...

Our guide was really knowledgeable about the city’s history. We’ve been on several food tours in the US and Europe. The emphasis was mostly about the food. This tour guide was able to explain the background and history behind the food, the restaurants and community.

Very fun and interesting!

Slightly complicated to get started but overall a fun, interesting and informative way to experience America’s most beautiful drive. We really enjoyed listening to the narrator’s voice and loved learning the history regarding movie stars, famous people and movies filmed at Lake Tahoe.

Catalina Summit and Bison Safari

Jennifer_H, Sept 2026

We learned so much and had a fantastic time

This was an awesome experience! We learned so much about the history, geology, flora, and wildlife of our beautiful Catalina Island. Carly was our tour guide and she was absolutely awesome! We have been coming to this island for so many years and have never gotten the chance to see the interior. We were lucky to see a herd of Bison and the views were incredible. Thank you for the great tour!

Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Tour

Lori_H, Sept 2026

Tour was great and as described

This tour was exactly as described. Austin was a great driver/tour guide. He gave facts and education about the park and had a good sense of humor. It was a great tour. Some walking, but spend most of time in the van. Bring hat and suntan lotion. I went during the summer and temperatures were above 100 degrees. Snack was a granola bar and a bottle of water. Park was about an hour drive from Palm Springs.

Authentic 3-Hour Hollywood to Beverly Hills Tour

Amy_M, Aug 2026

Great half day tour

Great tour, taking in the key sights of Hollywood and Beverly Hills in the comfort of an air conditioned minibus. Mario was a great tour guide and gave us an interesting commentary throughout the tour, using a few iPad clips and songs to supplement his information. A fair bit of driving around but included a few stops for photos and lots of drive bys.

Wendy_N, Aug 2026

Laura is absolutely FANTASTIC!

We had the pleasure of having Laura as our tour guide on Fri. July 31st. She was awesome, mindful, insightful, and has a great sense of humor. My parents, nephew, and I had a fun and enjoyable tour of Avalon. Everything was effortless and efficient. I'm glad I booked this tour for my family, as it was their first time on the island. I loved the scenic viiews as well as the behind the scenes of how the island functions. Thank you Laura!

Whale Watching Tour From Monterey

Heidi_S, July 2026

One of the Best Experiences of our lives!!!

We went on a tour on July 22, 2026 at 9:00am. It was the best experience of our life! We didn't only see Humpback Whales and dolphins, but we saw Orcas (Killer Whales!) It was AMAZING! I really enjoyed our Naturalist, Sophie's commentary and "bird nerd" information as well! We saw lots of Black Footed Albatross and a very rare Booby!! I couldn't' have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them for your next Whale Watching Adventure!

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

Constance_S, July 2026

GoGrape.com Wine Tasting Tour

We had a great time touring 3 wineries with GoGrape Tours. My Husband, daughter and I all had either a scooter or walker with us throughout the tour. Our hostess, Mindy, was very vigilant with making sure we got our walkers and scooters off the bus right away. She also made sure we had access to the tasting rooms and tables. She was very entertaining and the group as a whole was terrific. Our lunches were set out for us when we got to the 2nd winery and the people at the wineries were at our tables immediately to start the wine tastings. I would recommend the tour with GoGrape.com. We will be touring again with them.

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.
