What a way to wrap up a vacation

John_W, May 2024

What a great experience. Our group was small, which really made the day feel intimate. Our guide, David, was outstanding. He took us to the best spots and gave us those tiny San Francisco details only someone who has lived there can know. The bridge location was perfect, the redwoods were amazing, and the wineries were fabulous. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough

Fantastic Time

Brenda_S, Sep 2023

Our driver David was great. Loved the stories he told us at each site and as we were riding on the bus. The places we visited and the wine was excellent. Will definitely recommend to anyone going to San Francisco

Redwoods and Wine

Ashley_B, Sep 2023

Highly recommend this tour. Great variety and makes for a fun filled day. We loved the redwoods and then relaxing with wine after.

Exceeded expectations

Kathleen_R, May 2023

The entire experience was amazing. David, our driver, picked us up at the appointed place and time. He was upbeat and knowledgeable. The others on the tour were friendly. The places we visited were great. I would do this tou4 again.

Fabulous day trip from San Francisco

Scott_C, Apr 2023

We had a really great time on this tour. Our guide Steven was really friendly and informative throughout the day. The morning in the Anderson Redwood forest was amazing. The park was beautiful and so peaceful. So many times you go to places like this to enjoy the nature, but the masses of people can ruin the experience. When we were there, the park was quiet and we could really enjoy the tranquility of the forest. The trips to the wineries later in the day were excellent as well. It was great to hear about how the smaller Hook and Ladder winery was set up, and they has some excellent wines to sample. The sandwiches provided for lunch were really tasty and filling. They were also perfectly timed to fill our stomachs between the wine tastings! :) When we got to the Kendall-Jackson Winery, the difference in scale of the two operations was apparent. This Winery was obviously a larger operation, but again the staff there were extremely pleasant and helpful in explaining all about the wines we got to taste. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough if you are in San Francisco.

Great time!

Joyce_W, Apr 2023

We had Viktor as our guide and had a wonderful time! He was knowledgeable, friendly and made our trip very memorable! We were very satisfied with the time at each stop!

A fantastic experience with wonderful memories!!

Susan_H, Nov 2022

We actually got moved onto a slightly different trip (4 course dinner pairing at Kendall Jackson), Phil was so helpful and it worked out even better than the trip we originally booked. Our tour guide was Stephen who was fantastic!! He was very knowledgeable and catered to our every need. Would highly recommend booking with this tour operator!!

Brian is an amazing tour...

Dave_R, Jun 2022

Great guide (Brian) - really informative and helpful. amazing weather - stunning redwoods and lovely wine.

Great Trip, enjoyed the redwoods and wine.

Mark_K, May 2022

Red woods where great. The wine was good and the people were the best of all. Phil, did a great job and sandwich’s were great

Wine tasting very generous but disappointed no tours at either location

janet_r, May 2022

Best Bay Tours did a nice job picked us up right in front of our hotel very convenient. Our driver Phil was very knowledgeable about the area and the places we were going to. Muir Woods was unbelievable I'm glad we got switched from another location to there. The only downside was we were really hoping to tour one of the wineries see how it was processed and here about the grapes and the process. They were very generous with the wine tasting but we really got no information and did not get a tour which was disappointing at either Winery.

Excelent combination of nature and fine wine Tasting

MELVIN_D, Apr 2022

The tour was perfect, and Philipp (our tour guide) made it memorable. The combination of nature with fine wine Tasting was the best.

A great trip with a lovely small group of people

Victoria_H, Apr 2022

A fantastic trip with a really lovely tour guide who was very knowledgeable in the history of San Francisco and the vineyards.

Fun day!

Veronica_P, Feb 2022

Our driver/guide Antony was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information with us. He was funny and made our trip fun! The people on our tour were friendly and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend this trip!

So fun and beautiful

Emily_H, Nov 2021

Highly recommend this trip and the tour company. We did not have any American cash and felt terrible about not tipping our wonderful driver, so please remember to bring some. We had a terrific day!

Take this tour!

Darlene_H, Oct 2021

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Beautiful weather for both the Muir Woods and vinyards. Comfortable travel. Tasty wines. Highly recommend.

The Muir Woods was...

Cheryl_D, Oct 2021

The Muir Woods was wonderful. The wineries were ok but that is no reflection on the tour itself. Everyone has a different taste for wine.

Five Star Tour!

BrittanyA, Oct 2021

Our tour guide Don was so much fun! He had so much to share about the city and made sure we got where we needed to go. Our favorite parts of the tour were the Redwoods and the second winery. The entire tour was perfect and we’d absolutely suggest others experience it!

Memorable Experience

CandiceNicole_L, Oct 2021

Phil had an entertaining personality and a great music selection. Very intimate setting with lots of memories!!
