We had an hour at the first winery. The guide who served us the wine tasting talked so much we didn't have time to even see grapes! The first 30 minutes he only talked toward one group of people. Our group of 6 didn't catch much information. We asked him to talk our way and he did after. The wine was good but we wasted too much time with his stories about stuff that wasn't about wine. The small bus and the lady driver were excellent! She had the roof off to drive to the second winery! There we had really great wine and great information from the guide. It was a good visit.

Although the tour was great, I was very unhappy with the customer service. I arrived at the pickup spot at the right time/location and went on the bus, as there was so visible place to check in. No one was around to check my ticket that I could see. In hindsight, I probably should have made more effort to confirm I was on the correct bus. However, no one on the Tower Tours team also made an effort to make sure everyone on the bus was going to the right place when I was on it. When I spoke to the team on the phone, I apologized for the misunderstanding and offered to pay the difference between the 2 tours, and the man gave me an extremely snarky comment “Oh, so you want to pay more?” I really didn’t appreciate being yelled at and spoken to like this, especially when I was trying to be nice and make up the difference when it’s on the tour group to make sure everyone is in the right place.

Great tour, our driver James was phenomenal, he had a great sense of humour and very knowledgeable about everything. He kept us engaged the entire the trip. The bus was comfortable and trip seemed short because of James. The wineries and the wine was great

When I booked, it was supposed to be Muir Redwoods and Sonoma wines. I love some of the wines from Sinoma Valley and have always wanted to go to Muir Reswoods. I booked this trip for a reason and was stressed about booking early enough so that it wouldn't be sold out. They waited until after they charged my credit card to send me an email saying it was changed. By the time they notified me , it was too late for me to research and find another trip. I feel that they had plenty of time to let me know about the change prior to when they did. The first stop at Korbel Champagne was wonderful. I truly enjoyed ourselves. The second stop, the Armstrong forest, was nothing like I have had people describe and show me pictures of the Muir Redwoods. The last stop was absolutely horrible. The waiter was horrible and acted as if he was being bothered by our little group. Personally and others were not impressed with the wine selections. By the end of the third tasting, people were asking, not even to get the next two samples. Our Tour guide Marco was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed him. I feel as if I was taken advantage of, and someone just wanted my money taking me somewhere I didn't sign up for. I paid a lot of money to go see and be treated badly by the staff. Rest assured, I will remember this this next year at vacation time.

Excellent tour around 2 vineyards, tasting some excellent wine. The drive from San Francisco has gorgeous views and very informative from the driver.

Very Nice tour we got, the driver Patrick did a great job, talking about everything around, going to Napa valley There, we visited two wineries, tastings different wines produced for these two wineries We’ve a great time

Great experience traveling wine country and stopping at 3 of them for tastings! Had a great time exploring and taking in information about the wines we tasted! However we didn't expect the group environment to be what it was. From the beginning of our 8:30am tour there was a big group of a super loud party that would scream at the top of their lungs no exaggeration . It would only get louder and louder after every stop we made, we could barely hear what the driver was saying while driving around sf . I couldn't hear what my gf was saying and we were sitting right next to eachother. We booked this trip for a relaxing getaway and the entire time in the bus we would get everything but that. I would literally be covering my ears while this group in their mid 30's yelled and actually barked like animals the entire trip and it was super obnoxious and really disappointing. The other couples on the tour weren't like that and actually were really nice and offered to take pictures for us , and I doubt they enjoyed the super loud environment. If you want to get drunk and yell inside of a bus then this is the trip for you! If you want a relaxing getaway with your partner for the day then I would steer far away from this specific tour company. Like I mentioned we loved the locations and drivers knowledge but I wouldn't be able to recommend this place to anyone let alone my close friends/family.

This Napa and Sonoma wine tour was an absolute dream! From the moment we stepped onto the bus, we were greeted with enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge about the region. Our guide was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating insights into the winemaking process and the history of the area. The wineries we visited were truly exceptional. Each one offered a unique experience, from stunning vineyard views to passionate winemakers. The tastings were a delightful journey through a variety of flavors, and we discovered several new favorites.

If you have limited time this is a great way to do both Muir Woods and wine country in one day. The winding narrow road to Muir is much more enjoyable when someone else is driving. 90 minutes is sufficient to enjoy the redwoods and our two winery visits were all that we needed to get a taste of Napa Valley. Time in Sausalito for lunch was more than enough. Dined at a great little Mexican spot. Our driver made a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge on our return for a great photo op.

This was an excellent tour of Muir Woods National Monument, Sausalito and Napa Valley wineries. The bus drive was very knowledgeable and personable making the driving part of trip pleasant. Muir Woods was amazing, the Redwood trees were specular! I recommend eating lunch at the Fish and Chips shop across from parking lot on waterfront, the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the wine tours at Madonna Estate and Ru Vango, the vast amount of vineyards was amazing. I highly recommend this excursion when visiting San Francisco.

For the price point, this is really worth it. No need to bother with a car rental and just sit in a bus and enjoy wine. The bus had only tourist from out of town. The wineries are ok but if you want to enjoy higher end wine tours this might not be for you.

5 out of 5. We had an incredible day on this tour, our driver was so kind, we were on time to all our spots & she stopped for picturesque spots across Sonoma, Napa & San Fran! We had such a fun day, can’t recommend this tour enough, perfect half-day price as well!

The Muir Woods, Sausalito, Half-Day wine tour was great. The height, girth, and age of the redwood trees real give you an eye opening reality check on how short human life really is. The quiet peace of the forest is refreshing. Sausalito has a great free spirited vibe that is nice. Sonoma and Napa were good. But Madonna Estate Winery in Sonoma was the best. Informative, inviting, and top shelf wine. This combo is a must do.

The Driver was very informative and the tour satisfied my timeline.I made new friends in a short time.Very much dependant on perfect weather which we had.

I've given this a five and this would have been for the driver/guide alone! He was a lot of fun and knew his stuff! Not about the wine tour exactly, but for his knowledge of the area, I think his name was James. We visited two wineries, first was the Madonna - who grew grapes organically. This was a more professional presentation and a small family concern by some standards. We had about four samples of wine and it was very nice. Second was the Ru Vango vineyard. Again we sampled four wines and this was a larger business, but not so much of a presentation as the former. The two hosts were really friendly and there was no pressure to buy! The ambience and so relaxing in the terrace A lovely couple of hours and the drive into Napa is lovely
