Great tour, great driver!

Our driver Jules was very knowledgeable and informative. He even gave us a great tip on how to take great pictures inside the park! It was nice to get a city tour included with our Muir Woods tour. We took some beautiful pictures in the park! The allotted time given was enough time to go all the way through the trail. 100% recommend, great tour!

Patrick (our driver and tour guide) was fantastic! He was funny, personable and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way at the end of the tour as well.

Temecula Valley Wine Tour with Tastings & Lunch Included

Jennifer_W, Apr 2026

Fab Wine Tasting

We had an amazing wine tour experience! The convertible shuttle made the trip even more enjoyable, giving us beautiful views along the way. Mike, our tour guide, had a great vibe—good energy and very nice—which made the whole day even better. He was also friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The tour at Wilson Creek Winery was excellent—we learned so much about wine and really enjoyed the experience. The second winery was the perfect place for lunch, with beautiful views to relax and take it all in. The last winery was ideal for unwinding, giving us time to enjoy the property at our own pace. We visited great wineries and had plenty of delicious wine to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour for a fun and relaxing day!

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.

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.
