您的专属向导将前往旧金山、索萨利托、索诺玛谷或纳帕谷的酒店接您,具体时间可依您的行程时间和地点而定。这场旅行共计8个小时(包括旧金山和纳帕谷的往返时间)或者6个小时(如果接送地点位于索诺玛或纳帕谷)。
你将行驶在加州101公路上,途经标志性的金门大桥,见识风景如画的精致海滨小镇索萨利托——这里拥有许多温馨游艇。除此之外,你还将瞥见遥远的列治文-圣拉斐双层大桥,它建于1956年。在经过蒂伯龙和米尔谷时,塔玛佩斯山将在天际一路相伴。
现在,你将从101公路转道至37号公路,一路向东驶至纳帕谷。一座大桥将马林郡和索诺玛县分隔开来,你将在此见到石树高尔夫俱乐部和俯瞰圣巴勃罗湾的悬空楼。随后沿着12号公路,你们来到了索诺玛谷的南部地区,这里位于著名的卡尼洛斯葡萄种植区。
卡尼洛斯坐落于纳帕谷和索诺玛谷的南部,是一片风光旖旎的葡萄种植区。由于卡尼洛斯和圣巴勃罗湾距离很近,因此气候较冷,能生产出美国最好的黑皮诺和夏顿埃酒。在西班牙语中,卡尼洛斯代表“羊”,众多羊群漫步在延绵起伏的山丘上。尽管卡尼洛斯生产多种葡萄酒,但它以起泡酒而闻名。
你将在卡尼洛斯参观第一所酿酒厂,并在此或纳帕谷的任意地方享受第一场品酒体验。请注意,绝大多数葡萄酒厂需要提前预约且容易满员,因此您最好提早告知导游心仪的酒 厂,好让他们尽早预订。在我们的私人小旅游团中,你可以和葡萄酒专家或制造者面对面交流,咨询问题并享受这场带解说的品酒之旅。我们的司机博闻广识,将带你全方位领略纳帕谷的著名葡萄酒区和小径。我们将于上午11点左右离开第一所酒厂,前往纳帕谷或卡利斯托加的第二所酒厂。你可以自由选择酒厂和餐厅,品酒费和午餐费自付。
你将前往第二所酿酒厂,途经29号公路或西尔弗拉多葡萄酒小径。你可以选择进行一场葡萄酒洞穴导游之旅(自选活动),了解葡萄酒的酿造,品尝桶装起泡酒(香槟);或是简单地待在葡萄酒厂里享用一杯香槟或葡萄酒,同时一览纳帕谷的景色。我们的导游见多识广,对纳帕谷的各个酒厂了如指掌。
纳帕谷拥有许多雅致的餐厅,以及加州最棒的美食和国际佳肴。扬特维尔是其中一片葡萄种植区,您可以选择这里的知名餐厅。
圣赫勒拿以本地餐厅和美味佳肴而著称,著名的美国烹饪学院及许多国际化的高级饭店均坐落于此。除此之外,你也可以选择纳帕谷的休闲餐馆,或是在户外野餐。
Auberge du Soleil、Chandon Etoile、Bouchon、Hurley's restaurant、Rutherford Grill、卡利斯托加索拉吉酒店(Solage Calistoga)、Press、扬特维尔的Bistro Jeanty、Allegria Napa、Napa Redd、法国洗衣房(the French Laundry)、Mustards Grill、Bottega、Bistro Giovanni。此外,您也可以选择在纳帕谷的葡萄酒厂里进行野餐。
午餐过后,你将继续这场葡萄酒之旅,进行更多的额外品酒活动,并欣赏纳帕谷葡萄种植区的风光美景。你可以在索诺玛或纳帕谷多参观几所有机的生物动力酿酒厂,或者选择顺便造访私人洞穴、品尝桶装葡萄酒,不过这需要提前几日预约。请注意,这些自选旅程需额外收费,不同酒厂定价不一。除此之外,你也可以选择在最心仪的葡萄酒厂里度过一段品质时光,悠闲地享用葡萄酒或香槟。
纳帕谷拥有世界顶尖的葡萄酒厂,因为这里有丰沃的火山土壤,且气候条件堪称完美!你可以造访第四所酒厂,并且/或者在美丽的西尔弗拉多小径进行洞穴品酒体验,或者来一段葡萄园之旅。导游将为您仔细安排并预订行程,或者由您自行决定路线。
如果时间允许,你可以在葡萄酒之乡纳帕谷参观更多酿酒厂。同时,我们强烈建议您额外多花一些时间游览此地。在丰收季节里,导游将驾驶着4×4的豪华汽车,穿行在纳帕谷的葡萄园中和乡村小径上。沿途,你将观赏到人们如何手工摘取葡萄,并且品尝刚摘下来的新鲜葡萄。
过后,司机将送你返回纳帕或旧金山的酒店,或者你可以选择在加州葡萄酒乡多享受一些美好时光。
在葡萄酒之乡纳帕谷一日行过后,导游将驱车送你回到旧金山。途中,你可以要求向导在索萨利托稍作停留。你可以领略一番这个精致的海滨小镇,然后再让导游送你回旧金山的旅店;你也可以选择在此结束旅程,乘坐渡船返回旧金山(渡船费用不含于旅行价格中)。无论你是否决定在索萨利托停留,只要天气和时间允许,那么导游都会带你前往马林岬角拍摄美景。它是一个丘陵半岛,位于马林郡的边缘,坐落于金门大桥的北部。你可以在此一览湾区的景观,尤其是金门大桥。

We went on two Golden Horizon Tours during our week in San Francisco. The tours were definitely highlighting of our trip to San Francisco . We scheduled the Muir Woods/Point Reyes and also the Napa Valley tour. We were very fortunate to have Adam as our tour guide during both trips. He was an amazing tour guide and greatly exceeded our expectations ! We would highly recommend Golden Horizon Tours, and especially Adam, to anyone visiting the area.

Stop reading reviews and book with Golden Horizons. .... we highly recommend this tour company, their tour guides are passionate, fun and very knowledgeable. San Francisco is amazing city and Muir Woods is so beautiful and enjoyable. We also visited Larson and Sebastiani wineries in Sonoma Valley.
Highly recommend
Unfortunately, we were not able to get same day tickets to Alcatraz Island, but our tour guide managed to get us night tickets to Alcatraz prison the next day. We were so lucky and grateful - we even booked 2 more tours with this company – they are the best! Alcatraz at night is a must-see attraction for all visitors. The rangers’ talk and the audio-walking guided tour complete each other.
Our Bucket List Overflowed, a wonderful day in an amazing park with the perfect tour guide!

“I wouldn't tour Wine Country without them!”
My experiences in Wine Country have been greatly enhanced because I hired the experts from Golden Horizon Tours. Prior to my first dealing with GHT, I was asked about our group's wine likes and dislikes so they could get a handle on where to bring us. They listened and put together two days of visiting vineyards that were right up our alley. Many of our visits were appointments that GHT set up and we seemed to get extra attention from the wineries that we visited. This tells me that Golden Horizon Tours is well respected in Wine Country.
I recently got back from another great tour in Wine Country. Even though there were four years between visits, Adam and his group at Golden Horizon set up another incredible two days of winery visits. The amazing thing is they remembered our tastes from our previous visit and planned our trip accordingly! Patricia was the driver of our immaculate SUV and she even acted as our own personal photographer, picking up our camera numerous times getting those candid pictures that you don't even know about until you're going through the shots. She even gave us an impromptu ride through some Redwoods.
I could go on forever singing the praises of this company...the special little touches, the knowledge of Wine Country and the overall professionalism. Just do yourself a favor...hire Golden Horizon Tours to get the most out of your wine tasting experience!

We scheduled the Muir Woods/Point Reyes and also the Napa Valley tour. We were very fortunate to have Adam as our tour guide during both trips. He was an amazing tour guide and greatly exceeded our expectations for the tour. He always took his time with us and made every effort to show us unique qualities about the places we visited.
He was also extremely generous with his time and worked hours over the scheduled end time for the tour. Our two girls, ages five and six, also loved spending time with him. He made the tours, including the Napa Valley tour, fun for the girls. We would highly recommend Golden Horizon Tours, and especially Adam, to anyone visiting the area.

Just returned from a great experience in Napa with Golden Horizon, and it was nothing short of awesome! Very attentive and personable. Great details on the tour and recommendations of the wineries were spot on for our request. Tour vehicle was impressive and stocked with water. Very safe and comfortable ride. My money was well spent here, and I was very satisfied with their efforts.

One of the hardest things to do when trying to book excursions from overseas is being able to trust unknown companies. Despite investigating many options, the costs and reading reviews a selection is given to a firm trusted over many years. We booked two incredible and separate excursions with this company based upon older reviews. One to Yosemite National Park from San Francisco with a drink stop at the famous Iron Door Salon in Groveland. The other to Muir Woods and the wine producing areas of Sonoma and Napa Valley. The two wineries visited were Jacuzzi Family Wines in Sonoma and Domaine Carneros in Napa. In between we had lunch and wine at the 'perfecto' Della Santina's Restaurant.
I truly believe that a really good tour is not complete unless you are provided a passionate and skilled driver. On both occasions we had fantastic drivers. Both Buddy and later John (a former Kiwi) were knowledgeable, energetic, polite and passionate about the history and sights of the areas they covered. Both these guys seemed to know everything about anything - and I mean everything! Both drivers were interesting to listen too which made the time between highlights enjoyable and entertaining. GREAT WORK - very professional.
So if you are thinking of using Golden Horizon Tours look no further - you should not be disappointed.

We had a fantastic day with our guide, Patricia. Like most tourists we intended to make our way to Napa but after a chat with Patricia she recommended we make our way to Napa via Sonoma. It was a great decision and we were having such a wonderful time in Sonoma that we quickly decided to give Napa a miss. Patricia took us to a variety of vineyards, big and small ( we very much preferred the smaller, family ones) and even kept our 12-year-old son entertained with games and fruit picking whilst we busied ourselves with the wine tasting. It was one of our best days of the holiday and it was all down to Patricia taking time to understand our likes and dislikes and tailoring the day. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious, she always made sure we got the best service at each stop and she is a genuine and caring person, it was like having another family member showing us around.

What a wonderful experience we had in Sonoma and Napa Valley thanks to Adam, our tour guide, and Golden Horizon Tours. We were 8 women travelling from Canada to San Francisco for a 4-day girls’ weekend. Our day of touring around California wine country in a limo with Adam was, by far, the highlight of our trip!! We would absolutely do it again.
Adam was informative, accommodating and very entertaining (we laughed the entire day) and he went above and beyond to make this a wonderful day for us. The limo picked us up at our hotel in San Francisco. We stopped at the Golden Gate bridge for a photo op on the way up to Sonoma, and Adam graciously offered to play photographer for the group then, and many more times throughout the day.
He tailored our tour to give us a good overview of different wines and the different types of wineries in the area. He gave us a tour of each winery we visited, as well as the surrounding properties, providing information about the history and various functions of each place. We learned about the process of wine making, the types of grapes used, how the grapes are grown and harvested, and much more. We visited Cline Winery, Viansa (our collective favorite),stopped for lunch in Sonoma, and then we were off to Artesa Winery in Napa.
We had private wine tastings at 2 of the 3 wineries which was a real treat. The money we spent for the tour was offset by the discounts and savings we got at the various wineries thanks to Adam's connections. We had so much fun that we even extended our tour an extra 2 hours!
Without a doubt, this was well worth the money and made for one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. I would highly recommend Golden Horizon's tour services and of course, Adam! I only hope that Adam had as much fun with us, as we did with him!

Had a wonderful SUV tour through Sonoma and Napa with our tour guide, Mary. She was so knowledgeable, and it felt like a great day out with a close friend. She tailored the experience to our needs/wants and it was just wonderful. Ask for Mary on your next tour - we will definitely seek her and Golden Horizon tours out again on our next visit to San Francisco.

We were greeted by Patricia promptly at 9 am at our hotel and off we went to Sonoma. Patricia has connections with some of the wineries we stopped at. This led to everyone bending over backwards to make sure we were enjoying ourselves as well as some discounts on the wine/olive oils. Patricia was incredibly knowledgeable about San Francisco, Sonoma, the wineries, and the winemaking process. We stopped at a larger winery (Jacuzzi) as well as two small wineries (Homewood and Larson Family Winery). Jacuzzi was wonderful and the gentleman who helped us with the tasting let us try 12-15 wines (we lost count!). Larson Family Winery was wonderful. The views and pups were great. Try the Organic Chardonnay. We loved Homewood and hope you get Maggie to assist in the wine tasting as she is a HOOT. Patricia was wonderful and made sure we were properly hydrated the whole time. Patricia let us have about an hour and a half in the town of Sonoma so that we could eat lunch ( We highly recommend The Girl and The Fig – AMAZING – book early!). After all of the wine tastings, Patricia took us up to the Headlands to get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and took us on a nice tour of some of the beautiful houses in San Francisco. The day flew by! It was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend Gold Horizon Tours and Patricia! She made the trip! Thank you!

On this our first trip to Napa, my wife and I booked with this company to provide a guide to direct us to some of the wineries. Also, we were interested in a balloon trip. They provided both to us at a reasonable cost.
We had a great time. Our guide, Albert, was excellent and fun to be with. He took us to outstanding wineries that we would otherwise have not visited.
The balloon trip was the perfect way to view the valley as we floated a mere 100 feet above some vineyards (the balloon had an altimeter on board) and as high as 2700 feet for a view of the entire valley and distant San Francisco. We enjoyed being in the small basket without a lot of other people. Terry (our pilot) was very experienced and offered explanations of the flight as we went. We ended up landing in a school parking lot and many of the neighbors came out to enjoy the balloon, too. It was nice to be able to meet some locals in this way.

This was a wonderful way to experience a wide variety of wines and wineries without having to worry about driving or directions, we had a most wonderful day. Each winery was so different and handpicked to fulfill a different need. Thank you, Adam, you’re an amazing tour guide.

Seven of us (all family members and women ranging in age from 30 to 80) went to San Francisco as a surprise for my mother’s 80th birthday. We decided on the Muir Woods and Sausalito half day and an all-day Sonoma Valley Wine Tour. Since there were seven of us, it was a private tour in a luxury SUV with our wonderful tour guide Patricia who picked us up directly from our accommodation in the Mission district of San Francisco. We were lucky enough to have Patricia for both tours and we couldn't be happier as she went above and beyond our expectations to make our visit to San Francisco even more awesome. We opted to do a Sonoma Valley Wine Tour as we were more interested in visiting the smaller wineries and we were not disappointed... We would definitely recommend Golden Horizon Tours and Patricia. Thanks so much.

I read reviews on Golden Horizon Tours and decided to go with them. This was the best decision that I could have made! I booked two private tours; BOTH were awesome because we moved at our own pace through the tours. ...I would HIGHLY recommend Golden Horizon Tours to anyone who wants personalized and custom tours to wine country (while avoiding the crowded buses!).

Thank you, Adam for our SUV guided tour of the wine country, It takes a special man to drive 6 crazy women through Sonoma and Napa valleys! Each one of us had a fabulous day. Within a few minutes of our tour you had us laughing so hard! It was so awesome to be able to relax and enjoy ourselves. We also really appreciated the knowledge that you shared with us about San Francisco and the wine country. Adam, you went above and beyond to make our trip a very memorable one. Thank you! I would highly recommend Golden Horizon Tours and if I'm ever in San Francisco again, this company is the first one I'd call for any and all tours. You should too!

Last year, GHT provided a tour through Napa including a hot-air balloon ride. That was so much fun, this year we booked a private tour through Sonoma. Adam was our tour guide and was excellent. He took us to some off-the- path wineries (where he seemed to know everyone) that were very nice, as well as less expensive. We also went by an olive press to get oils. Adam recommended a wonderful Italian restaurant in Sonoma that we would never have located ourselves. At the end of the day, he took us by UPS to ship some of the wine back, before dropping us at the hotel. We highly recommend GHT for wine country tours and Adam.

Mary arrived promptly at our hotel and we headed out to see redwoods. Amazing redwoods and Mary shared a lot of info we would not have otherwise known. A short visit to the gift shop then on to a lovely lunch in a town square then on to wine country. We loved Jacuzzi and the story behind their success. Mary instinctively knows how to deliver information in a pleasant way, makes you want to know more about the area!! We traveled in a new Lincoln Navigator, very clean, water provided. We didn't feel the need to watch the road as Mary is a careful and considerate driver. Wouldn't hesitate to go on another tour next time we're in California!!

We have traveled with San Francisco tour SF twice now. The first time with a very elderly relative and the second trip was more romantic with my husband. I cannot imagine there was any stone left unturned regarding the ability of this organization to listen, understand, customize, entertain, educate and create an unforgettable memory. Nope...not getting paid to write this...all true.
Trust every word- Have Fun!

My Aunt and I went to Napa for the day with Adam and had a fantastic time. The Lincoln Navigator was so comfortable and elegant. I loved nearly all the wineries we visited, and Adam was careful not to take us to large commercialized wineries overrun with tour buses. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, and this came across throughout the day. More importantly, he is great fun and has a big personality which really makes the tour so enjoyable. He offered us almost 2 hours for overtime for free! I would thoroughly recommend Golden Horizon Tours (and Adam!) to anyone thinking of using their services. Highly Recommended!

It's not easy coordinating tours (Napa Valley and Carmel-Monterey) from another country thousands of miles away with a 15-hour time differential. It's a constant struggle not to get paranoid that there will be a miscommunication somewhere that will ruin everything. But, Golden Horizon, thru Nelly, made it seem like I was talking to someone who was there for me 24-7. All my queries were not only immediately answered but answered clearly and patiently.
Moreover, with a little over a week to one of our tours (Napa Valley), we experienced a death in the family where the memorial service schedule conflicted with the tour date. Even with the very short notice and the confirmed schedules of the other tours during that period, Golden Horizon found a way to accommodate our request to move our tour to a later date.
As for the actual tours to Napa Valley and Carmel-Monterey, Golden Horizon, thru our tour guide Mary, made the experience of our group (4 adults and 5 children) truly memorable. Even with our seemingly cramped requested itinerary, Mary made sure we saw the best sites and ate in restaurants that served delicious food. Also, despite the long hours and the distances she was driving, she never once showed a drop in her energy level.
Thank you Golden Horizon, Nelly, and Mary!

My girlfriends surprised me with a birthday trip san fran! We were referred to golden horizon travel by friends who traveled with this tour company before; their tour guides are highly regarded. Adam was our tour guide and he was different from other guides, it was not about knowledge but more about: savoir-fair”, Adam knew exactly which wineries to pick for our group in Napa Valley based our particular wine tasting and palate. Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Quintessa, and Beringer winery in St Helena were the perfect estate wineries for us; I recommend these wineries for cab aficionados. Our guide booked these wineries on our behalf and we were not disappointed. The day went too fast, was fun and awesome. Picking-up the right guide and company makes the difference indeed.

Reservamos este tour de viñedos en Muir Woods y Napa Valley con una compañía de viajes diferente en San
Francisco, pero cancelaron nuestro viaje al menos un minuto, el servicio del parque nacional ahora requiere
nuevos permisos y tarifas adicionales para visitar los bosques de muir. Nos alegramos de haber encontrado Golden
Horizon Travel en Trip Advisor. Su vehículo era muy limpio y cómodo, el guía turístico / conductor, era muy
eficiente, servicial y súper amable. Una vez en el parque de secuoyas de Muir Woods, nos dieron tiempo de sobra
para visitar Muir Woods y la playa de Muir, y no nos sentimos apresurados en absoluto. Ese fue uno de los
beneficios de esta gira privada, pudimos ir a donde quisiéramos, cubrimos una lista más amplia de lugares y sitios
que visitar. El costo de la visita privada fue prácticamente el mismo que el recorrido público ya que teníamos una
gran familia, y mis hermanas y sobrinos vinieron con nosotros en este viaje. El guía Buddy ofreció a nuestras
familias más tiempo, más flexibilidad y personalizó el itinerario del viaje a nuestro gusto, y agregó más paradas
para adaptar el paseo a nuestra gran familia y niños pequeños. Las bodegas que visitamos eran agradables para
los niños, el jacuzzi y los viñedos de Castelo di amorosa en Napa y los valles de Sonoma eran exactamente lo que
necesitábamos, una visita guiada muy educativa y familiar.
Recomendamos encarecidamente este viaje combinado a Muir Woods y Napa para familias con niños pequeños

I chose to go with a private tour for two reasons. First, all the group tours met very early and we were coming off a cruise ship and worried about getting off late and missing the tour. The second reason was being on our own schedule and being able to customize our tour. Jon met us right outside the cruise terminal on time. We were able to plan our day and started out for Muir Woods. We got there before the bus loads and were leaving as the crowds arrived. Jon was very knowledgeable about the wine region and we valued his input on which wineries to visit. For anyone not wanting to deal with bus tour and wanting to have input on the itinerary I highly recommend this company.

Just came back from another amazing experience in wine country with Golden Horizon Tours as our guide for the second time visiting! Their attention to detail was amazing. We used Adam and his team at GHT four years ago and they did not disappoint! They remembered our tastes and personalities and set us up with amazing tastings, some private, to ensure the best experience for us. Using GHT enabled us to see a lot more of wine country in two days and meet some wonderful people. Looking forward to our next visit and wouldn't do it without Golden Horizon Tours!

Review of: Best Alcatraz Prison Tickets & San Francisco Combo Tour
Jon was indeed a wonderful and experienced guide, the best we had in our 2 weeks that we spent in the States. This was our first time in the States and doing a wine tour, so we had no idea what would be good and he gave excellent recommendations. Jon is very knowledgeable in a lot of things and shared very useful information for our Vegas and LA leg of the trip.
He was also flexible and accommodating to our requests and it was indeed a relaxing tour that we had with him. We hope to have an opportunity to go back to San Francisco soon and have a chance to take up another tour with Jon.

This has been, and foreseeably will be the highlight of our adventure. What a fantastic day! It was invaluable being escorted by a professional as his connections and friendships at the various wineries gave us a much more enjoyable and efficient experience. A scenic drive to our first destination, wineries in the morning, lunch in Sonoma, wineries in the afternoon and a leisurely snack and stroll in Sausalito finished off by the ferry ride back to SF....What a fantastic day. This will be a staple for any and all future visits to San Francisco or the surrounding valleys.

We never write reviews, but this tour was worthy of the time. The private tour of Sonoma with Adam exceeded all expectations. His VIP treatment was second to none. While we know little about wine, we do know service, and Adam's got it dialed in. Well done Adam, well done.

We wanted to see wine country, but we certainly didn't want to go around on a big bus full of other tourists and nobody wanted to be the designated driver. Golden Horizon Tours' private tour option was the perfect compromise. Not only did we not have to drive, but our tour guide/ driver (Jon) was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to suit our interests. I definitely recommend.

Just returned from a great tour experience in Napa Valley with Golden Horizon and it was nothing short of awesome! Very attentive and personable and the tour vehicle was impressive and stocked with beverage. Very safe and comfortable ride and my money was well spent here, and I was very satisfied with their efforts.

Tom was by far our favorite tour guide of all the tours we took in California. At every step, he went far beyond our expectations. He took great photos of us. He loaned me (Phyllis) his sweater vest for the balloon ride. He sought out a wine cooling bag and glasses for the complimentary champagne that we received from the balloon captain. He was flexible but well organized in planning our stops. He had lots of interesting information to share about the area. I would also mention that the SUV was much more comfortable than the small touring buses and luxury. An overall- a great and unique experience. We would highly recommend Tom and this Golden Horizon Tour. The balloon flight is a must!

On this our first trip to Napa, my wife and I booked with this company to provide a guide to direct us to some of the wineries. Also, we were interested in a balloon trip. They provided both to us at a reasonable cost. We had a great time. Our guide, Albert, was excellent and fun to be with. He took us to outstanding wineries that we would otherwise have not visited. The balloon ride was the perfect way to view the lush valley as we floated a mere 100 feet above some picturesque vineyards (the balloon had an altimeter on board) and as high as 2700 feet for a view of the entire valley and distant San Francisco (breathtaking!) We enjoyed being in the small basket without a lot of other people. Terry (our pilot) was very experienced and offered explanations of the balloon flight as we went.

My husband and I and our three daughters booked the hot air balloon ride in Napa Valley through golden horizon tours. We were concerned about safety because this was our first balloon experience. I got to say, the early ride went very well. We were so excited when we took off in Yountville over Napa Valley. Our tour guide suggested few wineries after our balloon ride... and had lunch at auberge du soleil where! That that was the best location and cuisine in Napa! we can't thank you Adam enough for your outstanding job and excellent customer service ! 5 stars for you and golden horizon tours!

Mary what a wonderful tour guide, she tailored the Napa tour to our needs! ...Thanks for such a great day we all really enjoyed it VERY MUCH! If you are looking for a something a little more special and tailored for your needs or simply just a great tour, I would definitely recommend you consider this company.

My wife and I spent a fantastic day with Jon (from NZ) wine tasting at four small and interesting vineyards. After picking us up at the hotel, we headed across the Golden Gate Bridge for the short drive to Sonoma. Jon introduced us to the owner of Homewood Vineyards as we tried some wonderful reds. The day only got better from there. Jon took us to a great bistro for lunch in Sonoma Square... The afternoon was complete as we enjoyed wonderful cabs at two more Napa wineries. It was very enjoyable being driven around while we enjoyed many wonderful wines from smaller family wineries. Jon's local knowledge added to our enjoyment of the day. Definitely worth it and highly recommended.

Our group of couples did a Sonoma / Napa wine tour. Our guide was Patricia. We had a wonderful time. Of course, wine country is gorgeous and we enjoyed the tastings. It was tough selecting a tour company since there are so many. We didn't want to just blindly follow the TA ratings. But after days of comparisons it was clear that most are comparable price wise so it was down to Service so we selected Golden Horizons because no other companies provide such personalized and high quality custom services...The overall service of Golden Horizon Tours was top notch. Highly, highly recommend them. My last tip is - don't be fooled by what look like great deals!!! Our costs were close or the same as the so-called deals and we had fantastic service and worth every cent!

We took the Golden Horizon Discover Napa and Sonoma Valley Wine Country Tour. The driver, Jonathan, was tremendous. He was polite, courteous and very knowledgeable of the area and of the vineyards. He took us over the Golden Gate Bridge and then stopped on the other side at an old military base for photos. Then, off to Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The scenery is beautiful, and he was full of knowledge regarding the area and the wineries, as well as, both valleys. We had very interesting conversations pertaining to the area and his scope of wisdom in the different varieties of grapes and what wines they made. He was a sommelier, in my opinion. Additionally, he was skilled at both wines and his driving abilities. After the great tour, we had some extra time and we drove through the Presidio. Then sadness, the tour was over, and we were back at our hotel. When we return to the area, we will surely request Jonathan and do the tour again, obviously, choosing different wineries. We did this tour as a couple and certainly had a great day. We cannot give enough praise to the company and Jonathan for a truly memorable experience. Not meaning to sound snobby, the tour as a couple was great as we didn’t have to worry about others and what they wanted to do, it was catered to us. Wow, a tremendous experience. We highly recommend this tour and company.

Our family had a Sonoma, Napa tour with Mary. She picked us up at our hotel right on time. Heading out in a roomy SUV, she gave us some info about our tour plus some facts about the area that we were heading to. Along the way, we stopped at the Golden Gate bridge for a "look-see". We had 2 wine tastings at smaller wineries in the morning, very small groups at each and we were given lots of attention. Mary recommended Mustards Grill restaurant for lunch and she was on target, great food. Then we headed to Napa and set our sights for the bigger wineries. All in all, we loved the tour, thank you!

Hey Adam! Thanks again for a wonderful day to Napa and a great wine tour experience! We all thoroughly enjoyed our wine limousine tour with you. It was by far the highlight of our vacation! I just posted a review on tripadvisor so you should see it in the next day or so. :-)
We had so much fun that we've already talked about visiting Sonoma/Napa valleys again.
Cheers!

I can't say enough good things about our tour with Golden Horizon and our tour guide, Adam. The tour was my favorite part of a wonderful trip to the bay area...we went to three wineries in Sonoma. Adam was very familiar with each of the wineries and we got incredible service at all of them. Each of the wineries was willing to waive their tasting fees because they knew Adam and Golden Horizons. Each of the wineries was different, but the grounds were beautiful at all three and we really enjoyed tasting all the different wines. We also stopped for a delicious lunch in historic downtown Sonoma.
This was a top-notch tour, and the highlight of our trip to San Francisco! GO GOLDEN HORIZON!

We had an excellent Napa Valley Private Wine Guided Tour from San Francisco with Adam and Cesar. They took us to small wineries off the beaten path and in Sonoma Valley and then to the historic Sonoma downtown plaza for lunch. The Italian restaurant where we had lunch in Sonoma was good. Afterward, we traveled to Napa valley and visited a picturesque winery up in the hills called Arteza. The views are spectacular up there and the wines are excellent.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you regarding our first trip to California with your company. I am not keen on writing review ,but Adam, our amazing tour guide to Nap valley made our trip unique and fabulous! He really read our mind without talking and executed this private tour by SUV exactly the way we wanted it. This napa wine tour completely worth every penny we spent! This is a top-notch tour operator with high standards and more customizable way of touring. We have booked a couple of tours to Muir Woods national park and San Francisco combined with alcatraz with a different tour company, but nothing like that! We thoroughly enjoyed all the small wineries we visited in Calistoga and Napa Valley.

I chose golden horizon due to the ratings on trip advisor and they did not disappoint. We had three couples in our group and chose the Napa Valley private group tour. Booking was easy too. Mary what a wonderful tour guide she showed us parts of San Fran there is no way you would see on a standard tour and tailored the Napa tour to our needs! Her knowledge and attention to detail throughout the trip was superb and we learnt so much about the region, wine and San Fran in general. A few of our group travelled Europe last year and we were of the opinion she was the best guide we have had for our tours.
Thanks for such a great day we all really enjoyed it! If you are looking for a something a little more special and tailored for your needs or simply just a great tour, I would definitely recommend you consider this company.

My husband and in laws enjoyed a wonderful private 1-day tour with Mary from Golden Horizons to Napa Valley. We had booked the trip before leaving to SF from Norway without any previous knowledge of the firm, and Golden Horizons called and emailed us in advance to confirm the booking and to agree the exact pick-up location. Mary greeted us right on time in the hotel lobby with a name sign and big smile. The SUV was nice and clean, and with water bottles for everyone. Before heading off to Napa, we had a quick tour of the Pacific Heights neighborhood in SF, with amazing houses - as a special treat, we got to see a large 18-wheeler moving truck that had gotten itself stuck on one of the very steepest hills in SF:). Mary also suggested we stop on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge for a photo op, which gave really good views of SF city and of course the bridge. As far as Napa is concerned, we really had no prior knowledge of the area. We were very pleased with her suggested wineries to stop at. Mary was very cheerful and certainly knowledgeable about the history of Napa and managed the art of sharing this without overwhelming us - perfect tour guide, and one that we would certainly recommend! She also suggested a very nice restaurant for lunch in Yountville. We had a wonderful and day in Napa thanks to Mary, Holden Horizons and the California sunshine - again, thank you!!

I learned a lot from my wine country tour, my private tour to Napa and Sonoma allowed me to meet some winemakers who explained the process of wine making, it was interesting! Never imagine that it is so complex. then I had the chance to taste red wines, white wines, dessert wines and zinfandel thank you for the free complementary tasting you offered me. I will highly recommend your WINE COUNTRY TOUR to all my friends.

Review of: Best Alcatraz Prison Tickets & San Francisco Combo Tour
My friend and I decided to shell out a bit more for a private tour of Napa wineries instead of being crammed on a bus with 20-30 strangers and herded around like cattle. So, we booked with Golden Horizon. We were picked up at our hotel in a luxury SUV by Leo, our guide for the day. He had cold bottles of water for us to drink all day so we wouldn't get dehydrated or suffer later on if we had too much wine. The vehicle also had charging ports for our phones, and Leo also had extra cables if we needed them. In short: he was prepared for us to have as easy and carefree a day as possible.
From there, Leo drove us expertly through San Francisco traffic out to Napa to begin our tour. Along the way we came to the Petrified Forest and I asked to stop to have a look. This is one of the benefits of a private tour--you're the boss! So, we stopped, and I had wandered around a bit before we got back on the road. After that we toured the beautiful Castello di Amorosa and had our first wine tastings there. Leo drove us to two more wineries, which were smaller and more off-the-beaten path than the ones all the buses stop off at. Each winery was wonderful and we enjoyed the tastings at them all.
We only had time for 3 wineries because the tour at Castello di Amorosa ate up a good chunk of our time that day, but we enjoyed our day all the same because it was tailored to what WE wanted to do. We were even late getting back into SF, mostly due to some heavy traffic, but Leo didn't fuss about it nor were we charged extra. As we started back across the Bay on the Oakland Bay Bridge he played a variety of San Francisco-themed songs for us as a pleasant way to end the trip. Leo was a consummate professional all day, and he kept us on "schedule" although we never, ever felt rushed or like we were being herded around.
We had a fabulous time, and I would book with this company again without hesitation.

We had an absolute blast with Adam! He made our day in Napa Valley. We drink more beer than wine at home-our tour guide understood that very well, he first drove us to Oxbow market in downtown Napa where we had small bites with cheese and beer tasting. This place is awesome, they totally have rotating drafts that are sure to please us, snack and bites kept coming, so yummy.
My wife loved the cave tour at castello di amorosa winery, the caves are spectacular and impressive, the wine didn’t appeal much to me personally, but the castle is a must-see.
Great tour! good job Adam

My wife and I were on a cruise that overnighted in San Francisco. We took the opportunity to book a day trip to Sonoma wine country. Prior to the trip we contacted Golden Horizon to arrange a tour. Mary picked us up at he cruise port as planned. Mary highlighted the sights as we drove by adding insights from having grown up in San Francisco. The tour in Sonoma was everything and more than we had expected. Mary was very knowledgeable and clearly knew her way around the wineries. As we returned we were treated to even more highlights of San Francisco. All in all it was the highlight of our trip and Mary is @ very special and talented guide!

Dave was our tour guide for a tour through Sonoma and he was AMAZING! He engaged in conversation with us and gave us GREAT recommendations. He suggested Gloria Ferrar because I had told him I wanted to find a nice champagne. It did NOT disappoint. We also wanted to learn more about the wine making process. Not only was he EXTREMELY knowledgeable and willing to share, but he took us to Benziger for an awesome and educational tour. He then recommended a deli for a quick lunch (as that is what we were looking for) and that too was incredible! We closed out the day visiting Sebastiani (a personal favorite of mine) and then he graciously dropped us off at Seaplane adventures for the ride we had scheduled at the end of the day! It was such a pleasure to spend the day with him. He arrived on time and got us to our end destination on time without making us feel like we were rushed. My husband rented a motorcycle the following day and Dave gave him a recommendation for where to ride. Apparently, Dave's recommendation was a good one because the hubby can't stop talking about how awesome the ride was. The price was right for the wine tour experience alone, but a STEAL considering all of the other benefits we got from being able to hang out with Dave. AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME!!!

We used this group twice in San Fran, once for a 5hr city tour and once for Muir Woods/Sonoma wine tasting tour. Mary was our tour guide during the 5hr city tour, she is born and raised in SF and has so much knowledge of the city. She will specify to what you are interested in knowing more about. To not deal with parking and driving is a dream. For our Muir Woods/Sonoma tour, we did not have to worry about making any of the arrangements. Would highly recommend this service to anyone!

We did the private tour with David. And Let me tell you the experience was better than we could of ever imagined. After telling David what type of things we wanted to do, he knew exactly where to take us. Off the beaten path wineries, a champagne resort, and great site seeing. The best part was going to Hopper Creek Winery, what an awesome time. Dan runs the place and he opened up just for us. Was a laid back atmosphere and informative as well. Dan could be the coolest guy in the valley. Also, David took the liberty of setting us up with the lunch of a lifetime a Bottega, the short ribs alone were worth the trip to Napa. After drinking wine, eating amazing food and hanging with great people, David swung thru the Golden Gate Bridge for us to take pictures and then even took us down Lumbard street for an unreal ending to the day. With that said, we would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great time in Napa. Ask for David, and you will be in for one of the best days of your life. Incredible experience!

WOW is the first word that comes to mind. Adam absolutely made our trip. He as knowledgeable, personable, courteous, professional and most important hilarious and patient. I was travelling with my mother and my daughter so he had a huge age difference to contend with and was able to make this one of the best trips the three of us have had together with an added bonus of photos along the way. We did not have to think of anything. Adam and I spoke prior to our arriving, I gave him an idea on what i wanted for my mother and daughter and he took care of everything. Pleasing the vast ages is no easy task and he far surpassed our expectations. His choices were perfection for us well into the evening -- 12.5 hours to be exact!!! We enjoyed his company so much we insisted he join us for lunch and on all of our tours. There was so much that Adam gave us above and beyond what would have been expected that it would be too much to write. I can't imagine that this trip would have been as spectacular as it was without him.
