        Excellent historian!
        Dave Schafer is so knowledgeable and demonstrates a profound respect for the community and cultures that make up Fredericksburg. We were fortunate to have him as a guide. His insights helped direct our visit. My boyfriend and I left feeling we knew the community so well & that there is more to see & learn. We will be back!

        Great Trolly tour
        The trolly tour with Ranger Dave was a great way to start our 1st time visit to Fredricksburg , Texas . Dave was very knowledgeable of the history of this wonderful area & pointed out many of the points of interest . We especially enjoyed going back to The Museum of the Pacific. Doing this tour is a must for all ages

        Fantastic Fredericksburg Tour!!
        We loved the Fredericksburg Historic District Tour and Ranger Dave was the best tour guide!! Such a great way to see a lot of the town and learn about its history. Dave made the past come alive as we drove through the streets of Fredericksburg and even shared extra tidbits that he had taken time to look up and learn himself. Highly recommend this tour, it is time and money well spent! It was a highlight of our trip.

        Great Experience!
        This tour was a great experience. Adrian was our guide. He was friendly and gave us an overview of the tour and information about each winery and distillery we visited. The travel van was airconditioned, too, a plus on a hot September day in Fredericksburg. We were a small group of couples from around the state, and it was nice to enjoy good wine, beer, and spirits while getting to know people. If you want an intimate, personalized experience, this is the tour company to use. Thank you!

        The tour was nice. Unfortunately we had a lady on our tour the thought she had to talk about everything we saw and she talked louder than the narrator. Miss out on a lot of what the narrator had to say.

      We chose this higher priced wine tour because the reviews indicated it was superior to other options with knowledgeable guides. While 2 of the 3 wineries selected were very nice, the rest of the experience was lacking.
      We arrived at the first winery at about 11:15 am and were told we should eat our box lunch that was included and enjoy some wine (which we had to pay for) until our food and wine pairing event started at 12:15. We chose to skip the box lunch given the early time and given we would be eating again in a short time. The visits to the remaining two wineries seemed better scheduled with hosts waiting for our group at each.
      Our guide was nice enough. He, unfortunately, was not all that knowledgeable about wines or that engaging. He would have been totally satisfactory on a lower cost tour but was not what we expected on this more elite tour.
      All in all, it was a nice day, mainly because of the gorgeous weather, the other nice couples on the tour, and some good wine. I would do another Fredericksburg wine tour. I would just save my money and go with a lower cost one.

      This was a great experience despite COVID-19. Rebecca and the wineries are really trying to keep it interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our day!

      Our tour included lunch and I need to eat Gluten Free. No problem. Rebecca found a way to accommodate my needs and made it no big deal.

      Fredricksburg was awesome even in really hot weather and I appreciate how the businesses are adapting to the current situation. Unrelated to the tour, if you want to visit the Pacific Naval Museums you need to book ahead because with c19 they are limiting admittance.

      Rebecca made it such an enjoyable day. We visited 3 winery tastings, all with a different experience... a behind the scenes look at the making of wine, a very special food pairing with wine and at the third winery she shared her expertise on the art of wine tasting. A delicious lunch was included. We had our choice from a lunch selection provided to us the day before and it was served and ready for us on a patio at one of the wineries. Rebecca was so knowledgeable on the history of each of the wineries and the Fredericksburg area. It was a small group which made it feel very personable and attentive and I would definitely recommend booking this tour !!

      Absolutely outstanding experience! We had such a great time! I’m going to lay it on thick here because I want everyone to be as happy and relaxed as we are.

      I implore you to book now, this is the tour of your Hill Country dreams. There are so many options available- you can learn the rich history of Fredericksburg or take the best wine tour in the South. They do weddings, parties, pretty much anything you can think to do.

      Our guide was very knowledgeable, as she unfolded the tale of Fredericksburg’s fascinating culture- the buildings, the settlers, the art, the Germans. She also had many suggestions for us to have the best vacation. She knew all the best places to eat, shop, and even shared the folklore of Enchanted Rock (this hike is a must!).

      Thank you for the memories, Fredericksburg Texas Tours!

      Loved this Boutique Wine Experience. We showed up into town with no plans and found this tour in the local magazine. We didn’t really know what to expect, but the Boutique Winery Experience surpassed all of our expectations.

      Rebecca was our Host for the day and she was able to educate & entertain a bunch of wine novices for an entire afternoon. We drank, ate, and laughed our way through three wineries and most of the Fredericksburg Hill Country. She was able to help us understand and enjoy the wines in a way we had never experienced before.

      We are looking forward to visit Fredericksburg in the future, and will make sure to plan another tour with this company and Rebecca.

      Thanks again for a perfect day!

      I was a little hesitant to book because the price was more than I wanted to spend, but the experience was well worth it! Our guide, Rebecca, is so knowledgeable about the history of Fredericksburg and Texas wine production. We were in a group of four which made the tour feel private and relaxed. Rebecca asked us about our wine preferences and assisted in selecting ones that she felt we would enjoy testing. We started with a winery that presented a food and wine pairing, then went to another winery for a tasting, and finally to a winery where we received a tour of the facility and were given a sample tasting from one of the barrels. The last winery is one of a few that utilizes a grape harvest machine. It was fascinating to hear Rebecca explain how it works and saves time on production. This was the first time we visited Fredericksburg. We plan to return yearly and will recommend Fredericksburg Tours to all our friends and family. A big “Thank you” to Rebecca for a truly memorable day!

      Thank you for your detailed review! Our goal is to provide an immersive experience with our tours - and during the Covid pandemic we are extra careful to create safe experiences as well, like limiting our group numbers and following all protocol for safety. Wineries have been seriously impacted by the loss of revenue during the pandemic and every tour, and every guest we have, helps these small boutique wineries remain viable. We love being a part of the industry, and we love that you enjoyed your day! Thank you again for the review!

      We will definitely be looking to come back. Savannah was our guide and was very knowledgeable. We actually booked the trolley, but since it did not fill we were "upgraded" and I'm glad we were because this tour gave us more than the trolley does for a price that makes it worth while without a doubt.

      My wife and I had a good time on the boutique wine tour this past weekend, but there’s room for improvement. Due to low attendance, our tour was combined with a different tour (which we didn’t find out about until arrival). This resulted in our stops having to accommodate to the other tour.

      The first stop (Kuhlman) was fantastic and our assigned Kuhlman guide there was very knowledgeable and friendly. By far our favorite stop of the tour.

      During our second stop (William Chris) our guide/driver came in to tell us we were running late and had to hurry up or else we’d have issues with our next stop. The winery was very busy so our tasting was taking longer than normal, which isn’t our fault, but our driver kept trying to rush us and hovered right next to us while we tried to enjoy the last 2 tastings here, which we ended up having to chug. Didn’t get to enjoy this stop at all due to the rushed nature and feeling like we were the ones falling behind (despite us being at the mercy of the winery).

      Last stop was at Arch Ray, which had nice wines, but we didn’t get any real tasting experience here. We got our own wines from the bar and brought them back to our table. No tasting notes. No description or history of the wine. Could have done this same thing at any wine bar in town. I think we stopped here because of the nature of the other tour being combined.

      Our driver/guide was friendly but didn’t seem to have a very in-depth knowledge of wine or provide much value at each stop, other than being our designated driver.

      Overall for what we paid for the tour, just didn’t feel like it was above and beyond what we could have done on our own or with a cheaper tour. Might be better when it’s busier or with a different driver/guide (at least based on the reviews on here).

      Rebecca was an outstanding guide. The blue van was comfortable. The group of about 10 was the perfect size. We did 3 small boutique wineries, each cool and different, with great tasting rooms, scenery and ambiance. The pours were quite generous, with knowledgeable hosts and Rebecca contributed more good insight. The day passed quickly. Great service and great value and most importantly great wine.

      This was our first trip to Fredericksburg, so we were unfamiliar with any of the wineries in the area. The wine tour was an easy way to get to know the area. The first stop, Kuhlman’s was great and featured the best wines. We were offered their herbs de Provence almonds, which were delicious. The second stop, Untamed, offered an educational tour of the barrel room and wine process, plus had some pretty decent pizza. As a non-meat eater, it was disappointing to have all of the options of pizza offered to feature a meat of some kind. The third and final stop was Aires Ele Vineyards, which is kind of a misnomer, considering it has only been open for a few months and doesn’t actually have a vineyard. Texas wines were new for us, and we were not familiar with the mineral taste that is present due to the limestone in the soil. The best wine of the day was the California wine served at Untamed. The best Texas wine was from Kuhlman. Our driver was knowledgeable about the history of the area and offered interesting narration throughout the day. The bus was clean and comfortable. I’d recommend the trip to anyone new to the area, but make sure your trip includes a visit to Kuhlman.
