    Excellent tour, our guide Kurt was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Communication in advance was very good and additional pictures and info sent after the trip was very nice. I would highly recommend Bay Area Tours!

    We had a fantastic driver and tour guide. He gave us a nice history lesson on the development of the California wine country and prepped us for our winery visits. First winery, Jacuzzi, was disappointing. The event guide gave us only 10 minutes and did not seem very familiar with her wines. The next winery tour was very enjoyable at Artesa. The guide was energetic, informative and entertaining. We joined their wine club and even ordered several bottles to be shipped home. Best Chardonnay I have ever had! This was a delightful experience. We lunched at Gott burgers in Oxbow for great burgers. Traffic was too thick to go to Sonoma plaza so driver opted for Plan B at Oxbow which was a great choice. Our last winery visit included a small organic vineyard, Madonna Estates, which was also very nice. We had some marvelous Pinot Rosetta and a nice Pinot Noir. The event guide was also very pleasant and full of information about their different wines and the vineyards history.

    Glenda is simply the best! She brang a lot of hapiness, history and fun to the trip. If you think it is a long journey, don’t be scared, it is worth it. Yosemite is awesome and the views are breath-taking.

    Go for it! With Glenda :)

    This was the perfect amount of "touristy". The bus was comfortable and clean, the group size was perfect, and Brendan was such a fabulous guide. 12 out of 10!

    Only thing keeping the rating from being a 5 is the fact the bathroom didn't work in the bus.
    Well worth the money.

    Wished we had more time at Monterey, Pebble Beach and Carmel. Unfortunately, my seat was broken and would not stop reclining.

    Noah our tour guide was very informative and was looking out for safety. He also was also concerned about our need like our breaks. Noah is a great guide and made our trip memorable. He is an asset to the company and would recommend him anytime.

    Got picked up at the time specified and headed over the Golden Gate Bridge to the Muir Woods. The driver provided great commentary on the Muir Woods and again before each of the wineries we visited. Stopped by the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back for pictures. Would definitely recommend this tour

    Robert, our tour guide and driver to Muir Woods ans Saucilito was informative, friendly, polite and fun. The Alcatraz trip was okay. Unfortunately, we had to wait almost an hour fir the ferry to get us from Alcatraz back to Pier 33. I think Fleet Week activities in the harbor may have contributed to the delay.

    Couldn’t ask for a better tour. Jeffrey made us feel very comfortable and was a great tour guide. He was very informative and was personable, which made for a great trip. The sites, the food and of course the wineries were top notch! Thanks for a great day.

    Very good trip and sully(aka Shaun 😆) was a very good guide and soo informative about the local area, culture, history and more
    Alcatraz was a little chaotic and traffic was bad due to fleet week so we missed our 2.45 boat and had to wait 1hr but once those was well worth the wait. I think the pre booked tickets should have a different line imo.
