Muir Woods and Napa-Sonoma wine country from San Francisco in 11 hours, with tastings, Golden Gate photo stop, plus optional gourmet lunch.
“It was nice. We went to Muir Woods. Then we visited three vineyards from Sonoma to Napa Valley. In the middle of the trip we stopped at Sonoma for lunch. We stopped by the Golden gate bridge.”
5-hour Traverse City wine tour on Old Mission Peninsula with limo-style transport, a guide, and four winery stops with bay views.
“We had a great time! Our driver Todd was AMAZING!!! There was only 12 of us on the bus, it was nice having such a small group. The wineries weren't busy at all.”
45-minute guided Belle Meade Mansion tour in Nashville, plus complimentary wine tasting at the Belle Meade Winery and time to explore the grounds.
“The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the residents of the home and the time period of history. The wine tasting was fun and informative. Wines are available to purchase but thankfully there was not an aggressive sales pitch. We walked the grounds and visited some of the other structures on the property. I would recommend this tour.”
Small group Sonoma wine tour from San Francisco with hotel pickup, 3 winery tastings, lunch break, and Sausalito views, optional ferry.
“Antony was an excellent tour guide. He’s knowledgeable about the area and about wine, and friendly and entertaining. The vineyards e visited were excellent, and the hosts at each spent lots of time teaching us about their wines.”
Small-group Key West sunset sail with wine tasting, beer, and hors d’oeuvres. Limited to 26, served by an attentive crew.
“Perfect end of the day watching the sunset and enjoying wine and snacks. Crew was amazing and boat was comfortable.”
A 3.5-hour St. Augustine wine and food walk with included tastings, cocktails, and guided stops through the city’s oldest landmarks.
“We would not recommend this tour and this is directly because of the tour guide Garry. He made us read an excerpt from a book about him, continued to talk about his 6 wives the entire tour and told us why he didn't deserve his past negative reviews. He ask us to rate him and tour in front of him and asked for a tip. When we didn't tip immediately he called to inform us the he hadn't received a tip yet. The worst part should have been that the historical facts he talked about were incorrect but the worst part was Garry!”
Ride Lake Washington bridges to Woodinville wine stops, then snap Snoqualmie Falls photos. Includes guide and hotel pickup for $119.
“Mark was awesome! Super animated, and knowledgable. He kept us entertained for hours and the destinations were top notch. I didn’t know what to expect at snoqualmie, but holy moly that was impressive. If you can book the tour after rain when there is more flow it is definitely worth it.”
Walk among towering redwoods, taste Sonoma and Napa wines at three wineries, then snap the Golden Gate Bridge photo on a full-day tour.
“Had a brilliant day on this excursion, it was very well organized and great fun- Muir woods was awesome to visit and I enjoyed all 3 vineyards with my husband. we opted out of the lunch option and booked a table at the girl and the fig instead on their outside patio at 12:45. we highly recommend this restaurant, everything was delicious! We ordered the muscles and the flounder along with a bottle of white wine. Dustin, our guide was funny and informative - great guide!”
Private Miami cruise from Coconut Grove on Biscayne Bay, with an experienced captain, Bluetooth music, cooler drinks, and champagne on request.
“It was ok, great to be on the water. The boat had ripped seats and looked tired, there was no commentary about where we were going or seeing which was disappointing. Champagne was cheap medium brut, not a problem but don’t call it champagne!”
Helicopter from Las Vegas over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, landing in the Grand Canyon for champagne, then flying back over the Strip.
“Well arranged. Get to swap seat after the break, which is good. A nice experience.”
Small-group Napa Valley winery tour with hotel pickup, 3 boutique stops, included winery picnic lunch, and guide-led stories. Tasting fees extra.
“We had a wonderful day! Excellent communication prior to the trip. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The wineries he took us too were amazing and varied. Our box lunch was very tasty. I am so glad I took this tour for my Napa visit! Highly recommend!”
Grand Canyon West Rim helicopter tour from Las Vegas with a champagne picnic below the rim, plus Hoover Dam and Lake Mead views.
“This is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Raphael was the perfect pilot, he was funny, witty and played fabulous music in between very knowledgeable commentary. A huge plus for this company is on time pick up, a super safety record and landing onto the floor of the canyon was a truly super experience. We had a picnic basket with snacks and champagne . This experience was magical. My husband has not stopped talking about this experience.”
Austin Hill Country BBQ and Wine Shuttle: small-group ride to Salt Lick and two wineries with guided comfort, local flavors, and extra-budget tips.
“We took the tour this weekend with Ike. He was a fabulous tour guide, remembered all of our names and even included a fun playlist of songs on our way back to town. The wineries were great. We got to taste many options. We made new friends on the trip and even hung out with them afterwards overall you’re looking for a fun time book this tour.”
