        Exceptional Yosemite Tour with Andy Howes
        Andy Howes was fantastic on our Yosemite tour! His knowledge of the park was impressive, and his friendly, upbeat attitude made the trip enjoyable. Plus, his singing added a special touch to the experience. Highly recommend him for a memorable tour!

        The tour in general was great but what made it greater was our tour guide Andy Howse with all his knowledge on the history of the land! He also helped us finding the best spots around Yosemite National Park by taking us on different hikes.

        Well. We were scheduled to be picked up at 5:20am today 9/2/24 and we get a message at 5:20 am, from the trip advisor app, indicating that our driver had called in sick (glad we checked the app or we would have waited there for who knows how long) and that they may have to cancel but were looking for another driver.. So, we called them and finally got someone on the phone.. We asked what the contingency plan was (they don’t have one apparently) and the operator said they were trying to find another driver and would call back if they found one.. no thanks.. give me a refund so I can go with a reputable company.

As well as being really funny and courteous, he's very knowledgeable and provides really interesting explanations as you go. I learnt a lot about the history of the national park. I highly recommend this tour!!

        Yes, Yosemite In A Day!
        This tour exceeded my expectations! Our driver and guide, Rob, was outstanding. He was so entertaining, informative and kind. You could tell he has a deep respect for the natural wonders of this region. He made sure we got to see and experience Yosemite and the sequoias all in a day. I'll definitely do this tour again!

        Our tour guide Andy Howse was fantastic. He provided us with interesting historical facts on the bus and even sang for us. He volunteered to give us a tour of Yosemite Valley even though the plan was for us to explore the valley without a guide. Our bus driver Debbi was also great.

        Amazing tour of yosemite!
        Our tour guide was Andy and Debbi was our bus driver. The tour guide was very insightful, interesting, and informative! Andy had a clear passion and great expertise in the history, biology, and geology of yosemite. Both Andy and Debbi were very friendly and accommodating! The views were spectacular, and there were plenty of moments to get great photos and see great sights. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone!

        Great Yosemite tour!!!! 5 stars all the way!
        “Bayarlalla”—thank you in Mongolian! Andy and Debby took us on the most fabulous tour today. Andy was so knowledgeable about the history of California. I really enjoyed listening to him. Debby was an amazing driver and even let me sit in the bus when I didn’t want to take the second hike. My family and I all agree that this was the best tour that we’ve ever taken. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Andy as your guide and Debby as your driver. ❤️❤️❤️

        Amazing tour with Andy and Debby. The passion, energy and enthusiasm shown when doing the tour was incredible! A lot of history, geography and knowledge enriches the experience. Always worried about every detail and every need that anyone could have made you feel comfortable and secure. 100% recommended. Wonderful places, beautiful landscape and magical views of the valley, nature and trees.

      First time doing wine tasting and our group had an amazing time!! Roman was our tour guide/bus driver and definitely made the experience 100% better. Chose this tour so we could also visit the Muir Woods (2 birds 1 stone), would highly recommend anyone interested in nature and wine to book this. Bus was almost filled up and masks eventually came off at times when people were at their respective seats. My group are all vaccinated though and I believe (hope) many of the others were too.

      This was easily my husband and I’s favorite part of our San Francisco trip! Our driver, Dustin, a Sonoma native, was absolutely phenomenal! He was so fun to listen to and hear the history about the area as well as some tips and tricks to wine tasting that we used and helped us to truly enjoy our wine tastings! We started at Muir Woods which was an awesome bonus to the wine tasting experience! So SO cool! Then we headed to a winery in Napa and walked right in and they had wine poured for our first tasting for our entire group. Talk about service! Then Dustin took us to Sonoma where we were able to eat lunch at any of the many wonderful restaurants! We chose, Maya, a Mexican restaurant and it was absolutely fabulous. We then went to two more wineries for our tastings and tours. This tour company went above and beyond and our group had private tastings with someone who explained the history of the wine as well as the winery itself. Dustin made sure we were back around sunset to San Francisco and he made a special stop at one of the viewing spots of the Golden Gate Bridge. I mean ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations! If you are having a hard time choosing which your company to go with 1,000% choose this one and if you can ask for Dustin...you will NOT be disappointed! Also- as if Dustin hadn’t already gone above and beyond for all of us already, he had compiled a list of the best eats/bars in the San Francisco area and shared it with us...which helped us out for finding our supper!

      My friends and I had a great time on this tour. Having a tour bus to drive us to the woods and about an hour north to the wineries helped take away some of the stress in planning for our vacation. This tour also included the wine tasting fees which most tours don’t include so it was a great value.

      We enjoyed Roman, a very knowledgeable and amusing tour guide. However, there were a couple of incidents that I am highlighting.

      It rained during our visit to Muir Woods. Roman stated several times to us on the tour that he would leave the park by 10:20am sharp. However, he prioritized a run in the woods and got back to the tour bus at 10:25am letting all of us sit in the cold rainy weather. Most of us got to the bus 10-15 minutes early, trying to get back on a warm, open bus but unfortunately sat in the unfavorable elements awaiting our tour guide to finish his run, as Roman locked up the bus.

      Roman stopped at a produce stand on the way back. He came back on the bus first with a large bag of produce / grocery items. We did not favor this stop as it seemed that he stopped because of his needs. Those that were traveling, i.e. staying in hotels, etc. would not need produce for their hotel stay or trip back home. It was an odd stop for a Muir Woods and wine tour.

      Roman repeatedly emphasized tipping . He suggested a couple of times to tip $20, as well as make other analogies of a tipping percentage like you would if you enjoyed a good meal at a restaurant. I feel many gave him generous tips because Roman brought up the topic many times and folks may have felt shamed to tip him.

      He did make another off-agenda stop of the Golden Gate Bridge - that was fun.

      I had an amazing time with my three other friends at this wine tour. I highly suggest going with friends but after the first two winery visits and the frequent refills of wine it is not hard to make new friends. Many of us made at least one new acquaintance at this wine tour and there were so many people from different regions it was fun getting to know why or how they decided to join this tour. The feel to form a small community around the heavy handed wine pours of the wineries we visited was ever growing.
      I was glowing when I discovered my new favorite wine on this tour. It was at the Mayo family winery (no connection to the Mayo Clinic as they made a point to highlight) where their Zinfandel Port wine won a gold medal in the Sonoma county fair. I took one sip of this wine and instantly knew it was the one for me. It is like a decadent honey cake in wine form. It is sweet and enriching and I immediately bought a bottle of it. I wish the bottle wasn't so small, I would have bought more than one now that I think about it! It was a very pleasant experience that I enjoyed with my friends.

      We are so happy we did this tour however with multiple hotel pick-ups we were rushed at Muir Woods (only an hour) and during the winery stops (didn't have time to walk through the vineyards at Ru Vango which was the only true vineyard we went to and that we LOVED; didn't have time for the "choice" tasting at our 2nd stop Muscardini which was a boutique winery that was for tasting and buying only; and the third stop Mayo Family Winery which required standing too long to listen about the bottling process and the "picnic" area was not scenic and rather "industrial"). We chose to do lunch on our own at Sonoma Plaza (there was no "breakfast stop" unless you count the option to get coffee at Muir Woods after you paid $15/person entrance fee and the hour we had there to explore). There were plenty of restaurant choices and time to browse in a few stores. We ate at "The Girl and the Fig" and did as the driver suggested to let them know we were on a tour so we were quickly seated and received our food/bill in a timely manner. This was a full day (12 hours from pick up to drop off) so time-wise we got our money's worth just didn't spend the amount of time at the places we expected. Rated this tour 3 out of 5 because of the shortened time as noted above and the winery choices. Our tour guide provided a lot of information about the areas we traveled through. I felt overall it was a good value for our first time to San Francisco.

      Thanks so much for your comprehensive review. Yes, it is a full day to take in Muir Woods AND California's wine country in a single day but well worth it for people visiting San Francisco for a short time. The Girl and the Fig was a great choice...hope others follow your lead. All the best.

      We actually originally booked just a wine tasting trip, but due to limited numbers were transferred onto this trip including Muir Woods. The trip did not exactly go to plan.. at the time there were issues with fires in wine country, and on the day of our trip the electricity was out in all of Sonoma. However, these guys handled all these issues like pros! We couldn't get into Muir Woods due to restrictions because of the fires, so they arranged taking us to Samuel P Taylor park - which was equally as lovely, lots of Sequoias still & pretty much had the place to ourselves! We then moved onto the wine tasting, they had to rearrange all the wineries we were meant to visit due to the issues, so our driver was on the phone all day with his office to sort us new wineries. Needless to say they did a great job, as the 3 wineries we visited were fantastic, gorgeous views & very generous tastings (at least 6 wines at each). We were meant to do our lunch stop in Sonoma, but instead went to Sebastopol. It was a very nice little town, plenty of restaurants for lunch. Our driver also then ended the trip with a stop at a viewpoint overlooking the golden gate bridge. This was not meant to be included, but he stopped there so we could all get some lovely pictures. All in all, was a brilliant trip & was carried out exceptionally well considering all the issues they were faced with!

      Roman was an excellent tour guide. He was incredibly friendly and hilarious! He made the trip very enjoyable from the beginning to the end. The pick up location was easy to get to from the airport and we were dropped off near a Bart station which was perfect. Muir Woods and the wineries were lovely. I think we were able to spend enough time in Muir Woods to get a great feel of the outdoors and 45 minutes at each winery was enough to taste and tour the wineries. The third winery, Trek Winery, was by far the best atmosphere for tasting and relaxing. The was comfortable but not glamorous which I was okay with. I couldn't get the wifi to work but that was the worst part of the entire trip! I wish we could have gone to more wineries because it was so much fun!

      So happy that my husband and I booked this tour, it was fantastic. Dustin was the absolute best tour guide, he had every detail of our day down to a science so that we could just sit back and enjoy every minute. It is such a perfectly planned tour, and the best way to spend a day in San Francisco. Dustin kept us laughing, gave us great facts along the way, and had the perfect play list of "San Francisco" themed songs. This is the perfect combination of seeing the stunning Muir Woods and enjoying wine tasting in Napa/Sonoma. Truly a perfect day!

      Kimmy, our guide and driver, was simply great: very friendly, funny, ready to help and accomodate although on a tight schedule. The Woods were amazing and we were lucky enough to finde them almost empty of people (on a Tuesday, early in the morning - also had extra luck to get there in a small group with a van instead of a bus). The wineries were really fine, especially the last one was great and we had some special deals coming there with the tour.

      I booked also the extra lunch, which was very fine and served by friendly hosts - the Sonoma Laza where we ate had a lot of different options though, and you will get enough wine anyway, so it is probably not a must do.

      We were mostly in Sonoma County, which I appreciated a lot and am perfectly happy with - the visit in Napa Valley was rather brief, that is why, if you really want to get a lot of *Napa* Valley, this might not be the most fitting tour for you. Anyway, I would recommend it anytime! Thank you for a great day, Kimmy!

      Thanks for your review! We've passed your kind words on to Kimmy. There are three wineries included in the tour, usually one in Napa and two in Sonoma, mainly because Sonoma is a bit closer when its time to return to San Francisco. We are always looking for ways to make the tour better, so we appreciate your feedback.
