Highlights
Take a day to truly enjoy the wine and redwoods of Sonoma County through the eyes of the passionate and fun guides who know it best. This full-day tour is designed for small groups who want to learn, have fun, and get a local feel for the wineries and redwoods just north of San Francisco.
We purposefully choose NOT to go to Muir Woods, which is overrun with crowds and prevents our guests from fully enjoying the majesty of the Redwoods. Instead, we go to Armstrong Woods, which has older and taller trees, and far less crowds. The experience is for people that want to truly and fully experience the Giant California Coastal Redwoods. .

This was a really great day and Anthony gave us the best tour!
Picked up from the cruise port right on time, did a quick tour over to Sausalito and then into the Redwoods to experience the amazing Muir Woods! And we were there before the crowds so got a nice semi-private time there.
He gave us plenty of time to enjoy and some great info to guide us through for the best views and shots.
Then onto two wonderful wineries for tastings and picnic lunch.
Was a very memorable day and definitely the way to enjoy something outside of the city.

Best Bay Tours did a nice job picked us up right in front of our hotel very convenient. Our driver Phil was very knowledgeable about the area and the places we were going to. Muir Woods was unbelievable I'm glad we got switched from another location to there. The only downside was we were really hoping to tour one of the wineries see how it was processed and here about the grapes and the process. They were very generous with the wine tasting but we really got no information and did not get a tour which was disappointing at either Winery.

I highly recommend Best Bay Area Tours, and the trip to Yosemite and the Redwood/Kendall-Jackson Winery. I signed up for the Yosemite tour because I’d had such a positive experience with their Sonoma 4-Course Winery Lunch and Giant Redwoods tour. Just like the first, this tour was kept small with only about a dozen people. Phil was our outstanding guide for both tours, and I would strongly recommend asking for him if you can. He’s an absolute natural at his job, and is very personable, well informed, and professional. He took the time to get to know each of us. On both tours, Phil identified key sites in San Francisco, on the way to Yosemite and in the park. In each case he gave us the historical significance and context of the area. The Kendal-Jackson experience was excellent, and came as a surprise. I love wine but haven’t always loved the Kendal-Jackson wines I find in the store, but their on-site selection was exceptional. The pairing meal was delicious, the portions significant and the wines paired beautifully with the meal. The chef was very accommodating for those with special dietary needs. As with the Armstrong Redwood Forest, Phil explained the historical background and significance of Yosemite. While exploring the park we were given time to sightsee and take pictures. Telescopes were provided at El Capitan so that we could observe the mountain climbers. We were never rushed. If you would like a memorable and professional experience, this is the company to use.
