My husband and I loved our tour of the Muir Woods, Napa, and Sonoma. Our guide Doug was fabulous! He gave us a great tour around the city while picking up our tour goers and told us so much about the redwoods and the wine making in the region. The drive was beautiful. Muir Woods was stunning and we had a good amount of time to explore there. The wineries were all delicious and we learned so much about the process of wine making and how to fully enjoy wine tasting. It was a great day!

Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide
Excellent organization of the day allowing maximum enjoyment. More time in Muir Woods would have been preferable but time did not permit. All in all a first class experience.

Had a great day out
Our driver and guide , Kimmy, was extremely knowledgeable (albeit obsessive about the seatbelts😂). She had a great patter and was funny. Good music selection as well. The three wine tasting sites were great choices. The visit to the Muir Redwood Forrest was mind blowing.

Our driver and guide , Kimmy, was extremely knowledgeable (albeit obsessive about the seatbelts😂). She had a great patter and was funny. Good music selection as well. The three wine tasting sites were great choices. The visit to the Muir Redwood Forrest was mind blowing. I wanted to lie down on the ground and just look up and that was before the wine tasting. All in all a great day with an unexpected stop at the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint.

We had such a great day trip with Dustin for our wine tour + stop in the Muir Woods!
He is friendly, polite, and hilarious, and balanced all of that with the perfect amount of banter and history + knowledge of San Francisco, Sanoma, Napa Valley and the Muir Woods/surrounding area. Anyone lucky enough to be on one of his tours is guaranteed to have a wonderful experience!

Our tour was awesome!
Then we visited three different wineries which was the perfect number of stops and the wineries were all very different from each other. On the way back, we did a photo stop at the Golden Gate Bride. Our guide, Kimmy, helped to make the whole day very enjoyable. She was friendly, upbeat, helpful and very informative. You could tell that she wanted everyone in her group to have the very best experience!

We had a wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful experience with the Extranomical tour of Muir woods, Napa, and Sonoma. Our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable and funny, and he did a great job of informing us about the history of the area. We had a good amount of time in Muir woods, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

We had a wonderful experience!
We also liked that the wineries we visited were all small and family-owned. They all had something different to offer. This was our favorite day in the San Francisco Bay area!

Dustin was a great tour guide.
Gave us extra recommendations for dinner, etc. Muir was beautiful.. I probably could have spent more time there. Wasn’t blown away by the wine but good price for 3 winery tastings and everyone was very nice and welcoming and wineries were pretty. Last one I got to pick figs and mulberries right off the trees and that made my whole day. :)

Dustin was a great tour guide.
Went at end of summer. Make sure to wear layers. Muir was cold but wineries got very warm. Safe to leave stuff on the bus so don’t feel like you have to carry it all with you the whole time.
