What are people saying about California

Napa Valley Wine Trolley Classic Tour

Pat_S, Oct 2026

Great way to tour Napa Valley wineries

It was a great way to tour the Napa Valley wineries. We went to four different wineries, which is almost too many! Richard was a great guide, giving us background in history and information about all the places we passed. The weather was great, so the open air trolley was very fun.

Explore Palm Springs Celebrity Homes in Style

Debbie_J, Oct 2026

Knowledgeable host w/great sense of humor.

Touring in the golf car was the perfect way to see the beautiful Las Palmas neighborhood where most things celebrity used to happen. The golf cart holds 5 people + guide, perfect to get your questions answered & hop out for additional looks/pictiures. Colin was extremely knowledgeable & it was obvious he had done his homework before sharing stories & experiences w/us. He’s attended multiple events, open houses, etc to provide detailed knowledge of most homes & areas. Thought the tour may have been a “star-struck” experience but it was truly interesting and informative. Once our whole party arrived, we left, giving us some extra time & Colin actually had extra to share so we went slightly over our end time as well, everyone was thrilled. Plenty of time to hop off and take pics w/out being intrusive to current owners of properties. Truly an enjoyable experience, discussing history, architecture & celebs.

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

Gene_A, Oct 2026

Excellent Experience

A smooth excursion with historical information about Lake Tahoe broadcast as we travelled to Emerald Bay with all the scenic beauty it supplies. Delicious food choices and souvenirs available for purchase. This is our 3rd time on this lake cruise; it never gets old.

Alcatraz Inside Tour With Ferry, Free Audio and Night Option

Lily_A, Oct 2026

Amazing boat ride & tour

We had a great experience! I called the number listed for ticket pick up and she was able to text me my ticket which saved a stop. We boarded early and had a great boat ride and Alcatraz was amazing. Definitely got our steps in with the walk up and down the hill.

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight over the Temecula Wine Country

Terry_R, Sept 2026

Outstanding

We loved watching the process of the balloon being prepared to rise. I had never seen a balloon stand up, so it could float over our world. Our pilot Bill was wonderful and very professional (and funny.) I don't know the names of the setup crew but they were all very precise and professional, and friendly. The ride itself could not have been any better. And the mimosas were icing on the top.

Yellow Semi-Submarine Tour of Catalina Island From Avalon

Kenci_M, Sept 2026

Fun!

This was a wonderful experience with my husband. This is something I plan on doing with my nieces and nephews in the future because it’s kid friendly!You get to see alot of fish and you have the option to buy fish food price ranging from $5-$22. We had to opportunity to see a huge sea turtle. At the end of the tour you are on the top of the submarine (it’s a semi submarine) and it’s an amazing view!!! My suggestion would be to do more than one activity. There is a lot to pick from. You can pick your activities on this website but you need to go to the place and have your tickets printed out. You can also buy tickets on the island (may sell out).

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Devika_M, Sept 2026

Amazing experience

Was a great experience! Maddy was a fantastic tour guide; experienced, and very helpful for a newbie to sea kayaking like myself, helping to navigate waves, etc. I appreciated her dad jokes 😃. We saw sea lions in the water and up on the rocks and took a trip through the caves. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

Wine Country Join-in Flight

Mashawn_K, Jul 2026

Experience of a lifetime

This was an experience of a lifetime. Nacho was an amazing pilot. He taught us so much about the different types of crops in Napa Valley and he taught us about the ballon itself. He was so patient and knowledgeable about the Valley and a very experienced pilot. I would definitely recommend this ballon ride to anyone.
