We purchased tickets ($18/adult) on-site although you can book them online to perhaps get a discount. We got an audio device where we could take an audio tour through the grounds and learn more about each individual aspect of the mission. We even saw the remnants of the stone church that was once the largest structure in California but was destroyed in the 1812 earthquake. While the inhabitants' primary goal was to promote Catholicism, the mission also served as an agricultural and economic center. The founding priests of the mission were told they had to be self-sufficient; when we visited the area there was a garden to grow food and a kitchen area. This mission was even the first one in California to make their own wine. Overall it took us an hour to walk around and explore. We didn't read or listen to everything in-depth but you can easily spend 2-3 hours here. We went early in the morning and there was no one around so it was peaceful exploring the grounds.

It runs a lot of cover bands, but also mixes and matches intimate performances from a variety of artists. This year we saw Pokey LaFarge and Madeleine Peyroux. The audience is always going to be mixed, although there is a lot more grey in recent years! The venue has definitely shifted into more of a dinner and a show venue with lots of picnic style tables. The food is overpriced, but not terrible. The baked potatoes are amazing so always order that! Drinks are standard and nothing to write home about, but they do their job. Service is quick and un-fancy. Every seat in the house is a good seat. And the music and acoustics are excellent. Overall, this is a fun spot to stop in at reasonably priced live music and great baked potatoes with acceptable dinner fare and fine drinks. It is a classic and I hope it stays open forever!

I've put in a second request for a tour for two people on the date I requested, and so far no one has responded, so this one may also be canceled. At least two Viator representatives have called and sent email messages to try to get my tour confirmed, but they've not gotten a response. I also sent a message to the tour company asking that they respond to my pending tour request, but no response. I have given this tour company one star for poor customer service.
