Top California Day Trips

The small boutique wineries were definitely the way to go. It was a very intimate experience with the people who actually do the work. Our driver, Louis, was very knowledgeable, funny and provided lots of information. His choice of music in the van was on point for the age of our group. We loved it.

Great tour, we left from the California welcome center in Yucca Valley. The staff there was awesome so helpful with everything. Austin our guide was super knowledgeable about the park and had great wit while delivering it. Thanks for excellent experience.

Scott was great and very patient. Maybe too patient. The tour had chronically late passengers, which shortened the visit to Pebble Beach Golf. The main reason we booked the tour. A piece of advice, plan a restroom stop on the 2 1/2 hour drive back. My husband left his phone on the bus at departure and Scott was kind enough to turn around.

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!

My sister and I had the best time on our tour! We love wine tasting and this was exactly what we wanted. We got picked up right at our hotel and had a fun group of 6 to spend the day with. Peter, our guide, was great to be around and knowledgeable. The wineries had beautiful views and generous pours with a unique variety of wines. Everyone we met was friendly and accommodating. This was well worth the money to be able to visit multiple wineries without worrying about driving and navigating ourselves. The lunch that was provided was also delicious. This tour was worth every penny and was one of the best parts of our trip to California.

Anthony was absolutely fantastic so hospitable, he anticipates the needs of his guests and made us so comfortable and welcome. He is highly knowledgeable about the area and wineries. He made our trip so easy and fun. Can’t recommend him enough & will use him again.

Our experience aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped aboard, the atmosphere was elegant, relaxing, and full of charm. The scenic views of Napa Valley's beautiful vineyards created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable experience. What truly stood out was the food. Every course was beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The flavors were exceptional, and it was clear that great care went into every detail of the meal. From the appetizers to dessert, each bite was a culinary delight that complemented the overall luxury experience. The staff provided outstanding service throughout the journey, making us feel welcomed and well cared for. The combination of breathtaking scenery, exceptional dining, and first-class hospitality made this a bucket-list experience that was well worth it. If you're looking for a unique way to experience Napa Valley, the Napa Valley Wine Train is a must. We created memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to return.

I knew going to this tour I’d go to wineries that may not typically have tours open to the public. The first winery, Mayo was great. I’ve been to a few tours now and learned so much. The other girls on the trip were very knowable and asked great questions, it made the tour much more enjoyable. The second winery, we had lunch and met the winemaker himself. What an experience!! The final winery was a tasting that was casual which was nice and gorgeous. Army, our driver was hilarious and witty. He’s the absolute best. I wish I could take him home. Alas, the commutation of this tour company and busses exceeded my expectation. I would go on this tour again to visit more small wineries.
