Driver was nice but talked loudly while one of the hosts was explaining the wine making process. 2nd winery spoke more about the paintings and how much the owners made than the wine. Transportation was good but overall wasn’t very good value for money.

We did not get a ferry ticket. Ferry is requiring us to pay. How do we get a refund

So much fun! Helped me get an idea of where I wanted to visit, took lots of photos and videos, and going across the Golden Gate Bridge and back was INSANE! Views are incredible. Would recommend 10/10
