Jeffrey was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Winery was great. Scenery was amazing. Highly recommend
Hi Melinda! Thanks for taking some time to drop your review and for the recommendations. Jeffrey has always been amazing in his tours and he would be very happy to hear this and the recommendation. Dylan's Tours would be very excited to welcome you back on your next City adventure!
The tour was very well-organised and unlike many other tours I had been on, there's no herding but relaxed all the way despite a hiccup. Jeffrey, our driver and guide, was absolutely superb with his sense of humour and ability to ensure everyone had a fantastic experience. The winery experiences were somewhat shaped by the wine presenters, and since not every tour will visit the same wineries, I won't comment on that, other than the fact that they presented some great quality wines. I would have rated the experience 10/10 if Jeffrey had the time to listen to our genuine comments about the wineries and the restaurant recommendations at Sonoma town. I genuinely hope Dylan's tour will continue to do well and blossom. Thank you, Jeffrey, for creating these fabulous memories for us.
Hi Fiona, we are very thrilled to know that we were able to exceed your expectations and that you had some great time while on tour with Dylan's Tours. Jeffrey would be very happy to know about the ratings and we are very happy to welcome you back on your next city Adventure.
Jeffrey. Tour guide extraordinaire. The man. The legend. What he didn’t know wasn’t worth knowing. The tour itself was fantastic. Not a rapid dash through the mainstream wineries, instead a carefully curated experience, with true locals, sharing their passion and craft. The Sonoma township stop for lunch was also a highlight in itself. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Jeffrey is a guest favorite for all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you for appreciating our carefully crafted Wine Country itinerary and the local experiences along the way. We’re so happy you had such a great time. Thanks for booking with Dylan's Tours!

This was the best tour we have been on. Our guide, Barry, was excellent. He was friendly, very informative, a great driver, and anticipated our every need. We enjoyed the whole tour and want to give a special thank you to Barry.

Our tour guide, Barry, was engaging and entertaining. Sonoma was beautiful. The stop at the Sonoma Marketplace was also nice. Be prepared for a long day.
Thank you, Cara! We're so glad you enjoyed our Napa & Sonoma Wine Tour and that Barry helped make it a fun day. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
We booked a wine tour with them and arranged hotel pickup, which turned out to be a lifesaver when Lyft canceled on us twice—they stayed completely on top of the situation! Our driver and guide, Berry, was punctual, incredibly friendly, cheerful, and highly informative. We never felt rushed at any of the stops. It was a wonderful, intimate experience with a small group of just 13 adults, making it the perfect day out for our family of four. Everything went off without a hitch!
This absolutely made our day! We're happy everything came together so smoothly and that Barry helped make your Napa and Sonoma Wine Tour stress-free from start to finish. Thanks for choosing Dylan's Tours!
This was a 10/10 experience! Jeffery our tour guide was not only knowledgeable about wine but regaled us with fun facts about the great state of California. The two wineries we visited gave us an intimate experience that we wouldn’t have experienced somewhere else. We had plenty of time to explore the area and get great food. Also had time for many photo ops!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Lara! We're thrilled you enjoyed your Napa and Sonoma Wine Tour with Dylan's Tours, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with Jeffrey. We look forward to welcoming you back for another Wine Country adventure book directly with Dylan's Tours next time for exclusive returning guest discounts!
We booked Dylan’s Tours for their wine tour and had an absolutely fantastic day. Our driver and guide, Jeffrey, was brilliant — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. We started with a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint, which was the perfect photo moment, before heading to our first winery. After some great tastings, we enjoyed a lovely lunch in Sonoma Plaza, then continued on to our second winery for more wine and sunshine. The whole day was smooth, relaxed, and really well organised. If you’re visiting San Francisco, we would highly recommend booking this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip. 🍷
