    Great experience from start to finish! It was a 6 hour tour with 2 winery stops. The bus driver/ guide had great humor and kept the drive interesting. 4 tastings at each stop and learned a lot about the winemaking process.

    Muir Woods tour with Tower Tours!

    I had a great experience with the Tower Tour Company. I went on the Muir Woods tour. The driver, an older gentleman, was excellent. He's been driving with the company for years and had a great personality and stories. We left on time, stopped by Vista Point (on the other side of the golden state bridge), went to Muir for 90 min, and passed through Sausalito. I enjoyed every minute!

    This operation gets only two stars from me because their brochure is inaccurate about one of their trips. I chose them over another tour because the brochure said I would have 90 minutes at Muir Woods. Other companies only said 75 minutes. We got off the bus at Muir Woods a few minutes after 12 and had to be back on the bus at 1:20pm. So, effectively we only had the same 75 minutes to hike and explore. I was not pleased. The bus itself was fine and the driver was okay (although he talked non-stop for the entire ride on the loudspeaker, which I did not appreciate). On the way back I got off the bus in Sausalito and took the ferry, which I highly recommend. If you enjoy hiking and exploring the outdoors I'd suggest you consider alternatives that allow you to spend more time at Muir Woods.

    We booked the 9 hour wine tour. What a blast! Our driver, MARCO was wonderful. He gave history lessons, kept us on time, and did a bit of srand-up to keep us interested. Haha! We stopped at 3 wineries, saw so much of Napa, and enjoyed a long lunch in Sonoma Square. What a wonderful day! If you can, book MARCO!! THE BEST!!!!!

    Cornerstone Plaza in Sonoma ! It was our last wine tasting & they let us keep the wine glass for souvenir !

    We did the Sonoma / Napa valley wine tour ! It took us to 3 wineries! * The wineries were great and we had An amazing time there. HOWEVER, I have to give this company 5 stars on their amazing staff!! : From check in- they've already had an amazing smile on their faces ready for a beautiful day! That definitely set the tone : Our driver Marco was the best driver I've ever experienced !! He went above & beyond to make this trip amazing !!! It was an enjoyable ride as he shared historical and interesting facts (& jokes) about the places we drove through.

    Bad driver ,

    6:10pm , 101 south right before the exit Millbrae ave , their driver went on the shoulder in order to pass more vehicles . Coach #1910. That exit has several lanes merging into one . I understand that everyone has to hurry up and be somewhere but this driver made several dangerous turns . I won't care too much but when I called the number on the bottom to report the driving ( since they added that on the side with yellow ), person behind the phone couldn't care less . I guess one more s****y tourist trap company from FW. Shame on you !

    We went on the Wine Country tour with Tower Tours last week. Excited about the recent addition of Robert Mondavi to their itinerary. Was amazed at how comprehensive the winery tour was at R. Mondavi. They made us pick and taste the grapes from the vine, and then showed us the processing and storage of the wine. Super impressed! We also went to 2 smaller family owned wineries which were lovely as well. Wine tasting is included. On top of that, PATRICK, our tour guide is awesome! He is by far, the best tour guide we've ever met! Attentive, knowledgeable, great at pacing his commentaries, and overall just gives you the feeling of sincere, personalized service. We were in a full sized coach, super well maintained, modern and comfortable. I loved being in a big bus because you can stretch your legs, some even taking 2 seats to themselves to nap during the drive. There's a toilet in the back of the bus, which is a huge bonus. Overall.. we had a great time. We highly recommend Tower Tours!

    Amazing fields

    Tower tours as a whole is a gentleman and a scholar. The reputable wine cellars were a delight. Had a great assortment of people, a better wine tasting, and even better views. Would recommend to even my greatest enemy.

    We stayed in San Francisco about a month ago and booked a day tour through Tower Tours to Napa Valley and loved it! Our bus driver, Joe, was very informative and entertaining. We went to three wineries and got five samples at each one. We visited Madonna Estates, Sutter Home, and Andretti, plus we went to a nice spot to eat lunch in between. If you want to read more detail about out Napa Valley tour, check out our blog. :) I go into detail about each place and prices. https://kasventures.org/2019/10/14/napa-valley-day-trip/

As novice travelers coming from the…read moreDeep South, specifically McKenzie, TN, we had many questions about vacationing in a historical part of the country that most people observe only through television or literature. Of all our preparations for this California trip, the best decision we could have ever made was scheduling the private tour of Yosemite/Lake Tahoe with Yosemite Private Tours. Dare we have the audacity to book a 4-day private tour with someone we don't know? Those anxieties were quickly put to rest moments after meeting our phenomenal guide, Brandon Brown. Immediately impressed by his kind and gregarious personality, we felt a connection that ultimately grew into a lasting friendship. During the Tour of Yosemite/Lake Tahoe's granite cliffs, meadows, falls, valleys and mountain lakes, such as Bridal Veil Falls, Cathedral Peak, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, Mariposa Grove, Giant Sequoias, and the Donner Pass, Brandon's knowledge and explanation of the history and wonders of God's Creation was astounding. His expertise in photography, as noted in the attached photos, was assuredly an added bonus. We were further amazed at his attention to detail and his lickety-split service in checking us in at each park, hotel, restaurant, and even his conscientious concern that we had clean restrooms! After the first day, we felt secure and relaxed knowing our safety and comfort were never in doubt. Little did we anticipate that at the tour's completion, we would have shared such a life changing experience, which would not have been possible without Brandon. We are excited about the future and the possibility of an even more stellar adventure touring with Brandon and Yosemite Private Tours.

Some of our favorite moments were actually the unexpected spots we never would've found on our own, like the beautiful, yet uncrowded overlook on Telegraph Hill. Everything felt really natural--nothing scripted or forced. Just a great mix of interesting stories, local insight, and a lot of laughs along the way. Chad made the tour phenomenal. He brought brought great energy and enthusiasm to the experience, which made it even more enjoyable without ever feeling over the top. And the bus itself is half the experience! It's such a vibe--people smiling, waving, even taking pictures as you drive by. It adds this extra layer of fun you just don't get anywhere else. By the end, it felt like we experienced San Francisco in a way you can't do anywhere else. So if you're even thinking about it, just book it. Totally worth it!! -Mark & Gina, Kansas, USA.

The drivers were entertaining and the route took us through beautiful neighborhoods and many of the tourists attractions, Fisherman's Wharf, Nob Hill, Union Square, Financial district, Chinatown, North Beach, Telegraph Hill, Ferry Building, Embarcadaro Center, cable car turn-around, Grace Cathedral, Barbary Coast, Lombard Street, and along the waterfront. This tour did not stop at many places but is reflected in the price. (The more stops, the more expensive the trip.) The places it stopped was Pier 41 1/2, Union Square (Chinatown), The Embarcadero Center and North Beach. There is also a longer loop (about 3 hours) which takes you to the Golden Gate Bridge and around the Presidio. You really can't beat the tour for the price. If you are showing older people around the city or those who are not use to walking. It was also great to hear about the history of the city as we went along. The cable car was a cute touch.
