Excellent tour!
We had a blast on the Muir Woods and wine tour! Dustin was a great tour guide and provided excellent information about each stop. The tour group wasn’t huge (~30 people), which made it really nice to meet other tourists and ask questions. The wineries were all fantastic and the time at Muir Woods was awesome. Definitely worth every penny and a great way to learn more about California’s wine country!

Nice day out but one different vineyard would be better
Our tour guide was great, everything was on time, and the group was lovely. However, two of the vineyards were largely indoors (with one being in a town and not on a vineyard at all). The other was outside but they unfortunately had to cut down a lot of their vines recently so the views were not as nice as they could have been. We couldn’t visit jacuzzi as the driver found out on the day that they had a wedding. I was hoping for more picturesque views at at least one of the vineyards but don’t feel like we got this. I also paid for the gourmet lunch which I don’t think was worth doing - others in the group that didn’t pay for this went to a different restaurant in the town that was nicer and cheaper. Overall a good trip, but could be made better!

Great Day
Keith was an amazing driver and tour guide. 5 stars for Keith. Two of the wineries were very enjoyable and the guides were friendly and informative. A shout out to Mayo and Jacuzzi wineries. Again 5 stars. While we sampled 3 wines at the RuVango winery the guide there did not give us any information and seemed like he just wanted to give the samples and have us leave. I’d suggest finding a different winery. No stars for RuVango experience.
