What a great, fun day! Trevor was fantastic! The walk in the Armstrong woods was amazing, trees are just incredible! The temperature was just right. Next having lunch at Kendal Jackson winery did not disappoint! Over all we had a great time! Definitely try this one!

Calder was a very good driver and tour guide.
We loved the Armstrong redwood reserve, then our visit to Hook and Ladders and Kendall Jackson. Two very distinct wineries.

The drive to Armstrong forest was worth the time! Amazing trees and the scenery along the way was lovely too. The Russian River Valley is a must see!

Strange the way things work out. This was a surprise trip for my wife's birthday and we had an amazing time. We met a great group of people (there were 10 total on our trip) and got along so well with them that we are even planning to visit them in Canada later in the year (we are form Alabama)! The tour guide, Kurt, was the perfect guide. Being from the area, he had many historical stories and facts to share and he was very prompt at all stops. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the tall trees and drink some great wine.

Bith my spouse and myself enjoyed the tour.
Our driver Kurt was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Definitely would take another tour with viator and Kurt

Loved the trip, driver and entire experience. Armstrong park was an excellent choice for viewing the Redwoods. The wineries were both good choices, and unique to each other. Our host and driver David was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable. Our group of 10 hit it off and really enjoyed our time together, despite being strangers at the start! The sandwiches were delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

The California redwood forest hike was amazing. The hike through the ancient trees was so peaceful.
The lunch and wine paring gave us a better appreciation for California wines.
Marianne_M, May 2024
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. I chose this trip because the tour picked up at our hotel. So glad we choose this trip. Loved the redwoods, the wine tasting and the drive. Could not have been better.
John_W, May 2024
What a great experience. Our group was small, which really made the day feel intimate. Our guide, David, was outstanding. He took us to the best spots and gave us those tiny San Francisco details only someone who has lived there can know. The bridge location was perfect, the redwoods were amazing, and the wineries were fabulous. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough
Brenda_S, Sep 2023
Our driver David was great. Loved the stories he told us at each site and as we were riding on the bus. The places we visited and the wine was excellent. Will definitely recommend to anyone going to San Francisco
Ashley_B, Sep 2023
Highly recommend this tour. Great variety and makes for a fun filled day. We loved the redwoods and then relaxing with wine after.
Kathleen_R, May 2023
The entire experience was amazing. David, our driver, picked us up at the appointed place and time. He was upbeat and knowledgeable. The others on the tour were friendly. The places we visited were great. I would do this tou4 again.

We had a really great time on this tour. Our guide Steven was really friendly and informative throughout the day.
The morning in the Anderson Redwood forest was amazing. The park was beautiful and so peaceful. So many times you go to places like this to enjoy the nature, but the masses of people can ruin the experience. When we were there, the park was quiet and we could really enjoy the tranquility of the forest.
The trips to the wineries later in the day were excellent as well. It was great to hear about how the smaller Hook and Ladder winery was set up, and they has some excellent wines to sample. The sandwiches provided for lunch were really tasty and filling. They were also perfectly timed to fill our stomachs between the wine tastings! :)
When we got to the Kendall-Jackson Winery, the difference in scale of the two operations was apparent. This Winery was obviously a larger operation, but again the staff there were extremely pleasant and helpful in explaining all about the wines we got to taste.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough if you are in San Francisco.

We had Viktor as our guide and had a wonderful time! He was knowledgeable, friendly and made our trip very memorable! We were very satisfied with the time at each stop!

We actually got moved onto a slightly different trip (4 course dinner pairing at Kendall Jackson), Phil was so helpful and it worked out even better than the trip we originally booked. Our tour guide was Stephen who was fantastic!! He was very knowledgeable and catered to our every need. Would highly recommend booking with this tour operator!!

Dave_R, Jun 2022
Great guide (Brian) - really informative and helpful. amazing weather - stunning redwoods and lovely wine.
Mark_K, May 2022
Red woods where great. The wine was good and the people were the best of all. Phil, did a great job and sandwich’s were great
janet_r, May 2022
Best Bay Tours did a nice job picked us up right in front of our hotel very convenient. Our driver Phil was very knowledgeable about the area and the places we were going to. Muir Woods was unbelievable I'm glad we got switched from another location to there. The only downside was we were really hoping to tour one of the wineries see how it was processed and here about the grapes and the process. They were very generous with the wine tasting but we really got no information and did not get a tour which was disappointing at either Winery.
MELVIN_D, Apr 2022
The tour was perfect, and Philipp (our tour guide) made it memorable. The combination of nature with fine wine Tasting was the best.
Victoria_H, Apr 2022
A fantastic trip with a really lovely tour guide who was very knowledgeable in the history of San Francisco and the vineyards.
Veronica_P, Feb 2022
Our driver/guide Antony was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information with us. He was funny and made our trip fun! The people on our tour were friendly and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend this trip!
Emily_H, Nov 2021
Highly recommend this trip and the tour company. We did not have any American cash and felt terrible about not tipping our wonderful driver, so please remember to bring some. We had a terrific day!
Darlene_H, Oct 2021
Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Beautiful weather for both the Muir Woods and vinyards. Comfortable travel. Tasty wines. Highly recommend.
Cheryl_D, Oct 2021
The Muir Woods was wonderful. The wineries were ok but that is no reflection on the tour itself. Everyone has a different taste for wine.
BrittanyA, Oct 2021
Our tour guide Don was so much fun! He had so much to share about the city and made sure we got where we needed to go. Our favorite parts of the tour were the Redwoods and the second winery. The entire tour was perfect and we’d absolutely suggest others experience it!
CandiceNicole_L, Oct 2021
Phil had an entertaining personality and a great music selection. Very intimate setting with lots of memories!!
Taylor_P, Oct 2021
Our tour guide Don was one of the most memorable parts of the trip. He has so much knowledge and passion for the city of San Francisco. We all learned so much not only driving to each location, but at every stop. The redwood adventure was extremely breathtaking and a wonderful way to start the day so relaxed and taking in nature. The two wineries we visited were extremely different but so unique in their own way (Peter Cellars & Deerfield Ranch). We loved both! The cherry on top was a stop at the golden gate bridge. Don took us to a less well known spot underneath the bridge for photos and stunning views.
