Not the best wine tour I have been on. We were in the back of the van and could not hear what the driver was saying. Visited 2 wineries, not the best. When we mentioned to the guide we could not hear him, he said he had mentioned this to the owners a number of times. Would not recommend them.

Dear Rose, thank you for your review.
We have a list of wineries we visit. It is not a private tour and you can not choose wineries. These wineries are what we can afford to visit when 2 tastings are included in the $139 you pay to us minus 30% Viator commission.
As far as the hearing issue, you could have moved closer to the driver, since the van was half full on that day.

Great personal tour in a private car. Was the best. The cat came to pick me up from the hotel. Our guide was randy he was great in making sure I see the places I haven’t seen and made sure I get to all the photo ops of Sam Francisco and recommended the California academy of sciences museum. Which was awesome.
We saw the house of Mrs doubtfire. The tanner house. Cool photo spot for the Golden Gate Bridge. The ocean beach. And a lot more.

Yes, we cancelled this tour. This client purchased the tour 3 hours before the start of the tour, we contacted him within one hour, apologized and refunded the money. It is a rude and disrespectful review.

Our tour guide was amazing! Jerry arrived promptly and was very friendly. He knew everything there was to know about San Francisco and shared his immense knowledge with us throughout the tour. Excellent tour experience!

Tour guide was great and incredibly knowledge on the history and politics that developed San Francisco and defines Sausalito today. When asked, he answered and shared some interesting facts of his birth country, Russia. He was prompt with the hotel pickup and a very safe driver through the winding, edge of cliff roads. We opted to end the tour in Sausalito for a leisurely stroll and lunch. He showed us where we could catch the Golden Gate ferry back to San Francisco and a sign that displayed the schedule. This was a nice small tour of five and Muir Woods and Sausalito are some must see highlights if visiting the San Francisco area.

The tour was just ok. Highlights for me were the Golden Gate Bridge and The Presidio. After that the tour got a little boring. I didn’t really need to see some of the neighborhoods we saw. The tour guide Michael was nice but some of the information he provided was inaccurate. He showed us the Buffalo soldiers quarters at The Presidio and stated that the Native Americans gave the black soldiers the name buffalo as an insult. He also stated that buffalos were only used for food by Native Americans. In actuality, Buffalos are revered and respected by Native Americans. Per the nps.gov website, “American Plains Indians who fought against these soldiers referred to the black cavalry troops as "buffalo soldiers" because of their dark, curly hair, which resembled a buffalo's coat and because of their fierce nature of fighting.”

It was overall a good trip! The pickup is easy and convenient, the drive is nice and the driver was explaining things on the way.
When you read the description you are under the impression that the muir wood ticket (15$) is included and can be surprised once over there. It is written in the activity details, far from the actual description people read.
So it is kinda of an expensive cab ride with someone who talk.
But it was convinient to me, you see a beautiful area, the trees and a little bit of sausalito. The informations the driver is giving are interesting.
The view point of golden gate bridge is not the best to take a picture.
Also, they mention in the car that you need to tip the driver 20% of the total cost of the activity. I know North American tip policy, but why don't you pay your driver properly for the job you hired him to do for you instead of asking us to pay some more? Some people won't tip and the driver end up doing all the work without getting all the money.
Plus of you don't explain more clearly people won't necessary have cash in their wallet. So this is annoying.
Please stop attracting clients without giving the real informations, i would feel less misleaded if i knew.
Count 79+15+15 = 109$ for the real price of the trip.
It was still an ok trip!

Dear customer, thanks a lot for your feedback. We are glad you liked the tour.
1)Talking about the fee to Muir Woods, we mentioned that the entrance fee is not included in the field where Viator requires it.
2) The viewpoint of the golden gate bridge is not the best one...unfortunately, we can't offer smth else and all the tour buses and tour companies go there on the tours.
3) About the gratuity...it's completely up to you to pay him gratuities or not, we will definitely talk to our drivers once again about this.
Anyway, thank you again and we will be happy to see you on our other tours!

Our guide was thoughtful and organized; the music in the can was at the right volume. He gave a narrative of the history of the life region as we drove. At each stop, the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, Sausalito, he gave concise directions including the duration of our stay and the receded into the background but answered additional questions as necessary. He picked up and dropped off guests at their hotels which was exceptionally convenient. At Sausalito participants had the option of taking a ferry back to SF or continuing in the van. The highlight for me was Muir Woods and there was just enough time to absorb its beauty, magnificence and feel humbled by nature.
