100% Muir Woods and Wine Country - Anthony was fantastic!!
By: Angela |
My husband and I did this tour based on the recommendation by my sister who did it a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Anthony was our walrus tour guide and he was fabulous!! Anthony was very personable and knowledgeable. He was ..concerned about our safety as he reminded us to wear our seatbelts each time we got on the bus. Anthony was 15 minutes early to pick us up and he explained it to us when we got to Muir Woods. I loved the fact that we got there early to avoid the entrance fee (which is NOT covered by the tour as was clearly stated when you booked the tour). It also gave us a little more time at Muir Woods which was the highlight and wished we actually had more time there. When we stopped in Sonoma for lunch, Anthony also gav3 us feedback on which restaurants were popular and which ones to avoid because of time. Who doesn’t love free cheese tasting?! Anthony informed us about the different wineries and how his previous tour groups stated they preferred the second winery (Mayo) and people purchased more wines from there than the other two wineries. However, my personal favorite winery was the first one we toured, Kieu Hoang. Mayo did have a really delicious port like Anthony stated. Cline Cellars was the last one we toured. I would of preferred to visit its’ sister winery, Jacuzzi instead. Another highlight was when Anthony took us to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Anthony was also a great photographer!! He only mentioned tipping a few times but no more than I’ve heard from other tour guides. I also heard him tell that couple who was turned off by the tipping that he would drop them off to a closer location so they could get to the airport to catch their flight that SAME DAY as the tour (which the tour site also states not to do).Read full review
The tour was perfect and made all the more incredible by our fantastic tour guide Anthony! Knowledgeable and humorous; he really made the day something special. A total fairytale!
Anthony was a great tour guide and he really made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. And his sense of humor cannot be measured. He provides advise on how to manage your time between the stops. He is very tuned in to what he passanger..s think and he will even throw some really good suggestions your way if you ask him. I had been scared off tours because they just seem so mundane but this tour renewed my interest. I did not quite understand the pace of the tour at first but at the end of the day, I appreciated just how well planned it was. Note: keep the Mayo vineyard on the tour... it was one on the best stops in wine country.Read full review
Went on a tour of Muir Woods in the morning and a city of San Francisco tour in the afternoon. Muir Woods is amazing. The tour of the city was comprehensive. Both tours ran on time well and were well managed. Constantine was a great per..sonality for a guide.Read full review
