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 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. 🍷

If you’re looking for a tour where someone just points at buildings and reads from a laminated script, this isn’t it. We spent the day with Dylan’s Tours, and honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire San Francisco trip. A massive shout-out to our host, Jeffrey. Look, I know these guys are professionals and it’s literally his job to make sure we don’t get bored, but Jeffrey is the real deal. He’s incredibly funny and articulate, but more importantly, he actually seemed to care that we were having a good time. It didn’t feel like a transaction; it felt like a day out with a very knowledgeable (and much funnier) friend. A few things that made the day for us: The Pacing: Jeffrey nailed it. We never felt rushed. Having a full two hours for lunch was a stroke of genius—it meant we could actually taste our food and talk to the other guests rather than inhaling a sandwich on a moving bus. The Balance: He was great at making everyone feel included, but he also knew exactly when to disappear into the background so we could explore the two wineries at our own pace. The Value: I’ll be honest, it’s not a "budget" day out, but you absolutely get what you pay for. By the end of the trip, the whole group was in high spirits (perhaps the wine helped, but the atmosphere Jeffrey created was the real catalyst). If you’re on the fence because of the price, just book it. It’s worth every penny for a day that feels this well-curated and genuine. Jeffrey—if you’re reading this, thanks for a meaningfully great day. You’re a legend.
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! This truly means a lot to read. We’re so happy Jeffrey helped make the day feel genuine, relaxed, and memorable rather than just another tour. The pacing, atmosphere, and balance you described are exactly the experience we aim to create for our guests. We’ll absolutely share this with Jeffrey. He’ll really appreciate it. Thanks again for spending part of your San Francisco trip with us, and we hope to see you again down the road!
