Such a fun tour! I am local native & Gavin is a great tour guide. He was very patient (the other customers brought a dog 🙄) and knowledgeable. He took us to places in Malibu that I did not know existed. Since we were a small tour with only 2 groups he was flexible & customized the tour to our liking. The bus is fun. We sat next to the open window even though it was overcast, we weee not cold. The wine was flowing! For the price, this tour is a steal. I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in seeing Malibu & some beautiful beaches.

Enjoying Malibu!
Michelle_S, May 2024
The Malibu tour was excellent. Gavin shared great information about the area and took us to beautiful locations to enjoy the views. Great tips on gaining access to lovely beaches. Paradise Cove was wonderful. Thank you for the great afternoon!
Best Malibu Tour
Josie_R, Feb 2024
I had family visiting from Chicago that had never been to Malibu and they absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was so friendly and full of information. My boyfriend and I even learned some great tips and secrets we plan to use on our next visit to Malibu. Thank you!
Girl's Weekend Tour!
Lora_T, Nov 2023
This was a fabulous tour and the highpoint to our Girl's Weekend! Gavin was so personable and made the tour fun and interesting. We loved the fact that it was scenic, with a bit of history, a bit of "movie stars", a bit of wine and a bit of shopping...something for everyone. All locations provided plenty of time without being too rushed or too long. Keep in mind layers in Malibu is smart...the open windows to part of the van make the tour but my suggestion is to bring a hat and/or sweatshirt. We had a blast...thank you!!! Lora, Ann, Susan, Sheri, Cheryl, Margery, Maggie, Rilie and Sami
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Glad you had fun! Yes... warm clothes in Malibu is always smart. I'm glad you enjoyed the rear open windows. For the new year my "cruiseship" (van) will be getting all new interior, paint, and replaceable rear windows for chilly days. Hope to see you again sometime!
We loved the beaches
Ruby_W, Sep 2023
This was a wonderful tour. The tour guide provided fun facts and history during the ride, and then provided time to explore the areas on our own. Amazing beaches and wildlife preserves. As someone who loves near LA but had never been to Malibu, it was a great introduction to the area.
Loved it
Samantha_B, Aug 2023
So glad I booked this tour!! He showed us the best parts of Malibu. Great tour guide, I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Best morning beach trip!
Areli_V, Jul 2023

Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thanks! you had a great group. Glad you enjoyed it.
The tour wasn’t what we...
Philip_O, Jun 2023
The tour wasn’t what we expected. There was no “wow factor” we were just dropped off and left at places with little knowledge about what to do so we ended up waiting for our next ride. The wine was cheap and served in paper cups the side of the road instead of going inside the winery itself. On the other hand, the tour guide was nice and was really trying hard to leave an impression. But I would honestly not recommend anyone about it. They just need to make the experience much more exciting
Response from Host, Jun 2023
The itinerary with all details of exactly what the tour provides is listed. We never promise a "wow factor" because Malibu itself is one big wow factor! We provide every part of the tour as we promise. The free wine is just a bonus and it's completely up to you if you want to enter the wineries that we take you to. We are sorry but we can't drive the van inside the wineries! We drive safely in a CHP inspected, state of the art vehicle. We take pride in providing fresh, chilled wine in paper cups, at no extra charge! You have the option of not drinking our free wine, or even bringing your own. We also provide free water and snacks. The important things is that we do all of this in accordance with strict transportation laws. Our driver is federally licensed, drug tested, and we are insured to $1,000,000. We stop at the only two wineries in Malibu. Rosenthal, and Strange Family. You have plenty of time to enjoy these locations but we don't hold your hand inside the wineries. That's not included. There is also wine served at Paradise Cove and even Fred Segal has a small wine bar in the Country Mart! We don't promise to be an "exciting" tour, but I do believe we provide the best value. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. Haha the dog was unexpected, thanks for understanding. Your group was so fun. I hope to see you in Malibu all summer!

Stephanie_W, Apr 2023
Gavin is awesome! Tries really hard to keep everyone happy. Would be nice to have more actually wineries it’s call wine tour but it’s just the wine he provided no actual stops at wineries. But great experience and friendly. Bring a jacket it’s really really cold!!!
Response from Host, May 2023
THIS TOUR STOPPED AT TWO WINERIES.... Strange Family Vineyards (Malibu Country Mart) and Rosenthal Winery. Not sure how you missed that... Rosenthal has a gigantic wine bottle in front! As far as the weather... I can't control that. I sent a detailed email advising each passenger to bring warm clothes. I also provide a blanket and the vehicle has a heater. This is the first review I have ever received less than 4 stars and it seems you are being a bit harsh. There are many other tours in Malibu. They are all much more expensive, shorter, and none provide free wine to drink onboard. Maybe you should try a different tour next time. Thanks.
Nature food and wine tour of Malibu!
Sinead_F, Apr 2023
Great tour showing us places we never would have found by ourselves! Enough time at each stop. Nice mix of nature in the morning and wine tasting/ good food in the evening. Gavin was very nice and very generous with the wine! Would recommend to any tourist!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thanks Sinead. I'm glad you had a good time.
Hidden Malibu Gems
Vanessa_P, Apr 2023
It was so nice to see the non-touristy parts of Malibu! Little hidden gems were discovered on this tour thanks to Gavin. He made sure everyone was safe and comfortable the entire time.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Glad to be of service! Thanks for cruising!
Good tour!
Tasha_C, Mar 2023
Great tour! Fun time with Gavin! Saw a lot of Malibu that I never had before and we had a few good stops. Would go back for another tour.
Great tour! Sightseeing and wine
Tanisha_T, Dec 2022
Gavin was a awesome tour guide. Helpful and accommodating. I would say the tour is more a mix of a tour of Malibu plus a couple wineries. We definitely got to see some places in Malibu that we didn’t really know about. Highly recommend. Thanks for making my birthday special!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks for trusting me with your special day Tanisha! Your group was awesome.
Bday Fun Adventure in Malibu
Jona_B, Dec 2022
This Wine & Food Tour was so much fun! I booked this tour for my early birthday with my girlfriends. We had amazing time, so glad it didn’t rain that day. Gavin our tour guide was the best, very entertaining, and great photographer. He made sure we are all taking good care of. Overall, I’ll recommend this tour, winter time is the best as it wasn’t hot and I prefer the cold better. Thank you Gavin!!!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hope to see you back this summer!

Anna_P, Nov 2022
Great Trip with fantastic company. Gavin showed us the main points of interest often hidden from public view and we had plenty of time to enjoy each spot.

Sonya_W, Oct 2022
The Tour guide Gavin has excellent customer service. The sights were amazing. I would recommend the tour not emphasize food and Wine tour instead Malibu tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thanks for the input. We drink wine and eat food during the tour so I just chose the most basic name I could think of LOL! Glad you had fun either way.
Not to be missed
Sasi_K, Sep 2022
Best customer service. Friendly owner/operator. Nicely organized tour. Wish we could have visited one more winery.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thank you Sasi! Your group was a pleasure. The only other winery around is "Strange Family" located at the Country Mart where we begin and end the tour. It's north of Cross Creek, across from Fred Segal. They have an amazing tasting room. Hope to see you again!
