This is a historical landmark and she walked me through every room with great detail on the origin story and the rooms we were in. One of the best tour guides I've had. I have never experienced anything this - you have to really appreciate the amount of work, design and detail by Baldassare Forestiere - truly a feat! Very grateful the family makes this available for tours. Highly recommend if you appreciate gardening, architecture, art, engineering etc. They also did a great job of reminding me of my appointment and following up afterwards. If in Fresno area, this is a don't miss!!

My family along with our cousins and aunt decided to tour the Forestier Underground Gardens. It was…read moresuch a gem to visit. The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.

I absolutely love that best tours and travel has so many options for day trips out of Fresno. I…read moreenjoy not having to drive or worry about parking. This is the perfect option for me if I'm traveling solo or with a friend. They make it so easy with pick up and drop off locations in town. I have gone to San Francisco, Moro bay, Avila beach, Monterey, and multiple trips to Yosemite. I always have the best time. I bring my snacks and sometimes a whole picnic feast on the bus. I can nap, read, or listen to music to and from the travel locations. They even stop for breaks to and from location for food and restroom access, they also have a restroom on the bus for convenience. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very professional, friendly, always helpful, and super knowledgeable. Also, make sure to bring cash so you can tip your driver. I will continue to do day trips with this company and I am excited to see what new locations they add for future adventures.

It doesn't go super far, as the train moves fairly slowly, but it's a very immersive experience.

The driver was great, but the wineries were so far away from each other there was no way to cover the 4 that was included in the price, so we only made it to 3. I called the next day to talk to the owner about the limo, and he was unapologetic, and even told me that at least he picked us up and didn't leave us hanging. After many back and forth emails, I have not received the upgraded price for the limo (it was a $165 upgrade) and the owner even came back and said that we stayed an extra hour so I owe him even more. Do not use this company. The business ethics are extremely questionable.
