Great tour - We spent a wonderful day in Sonoma with the tour guide, Caroline. She was personable, attentive and knowledgeable. She provided a great mix of historical information, wine tasting and delicious foods. We had cheeses, wines, Mexican food and margaritas, ice cream and chocolates. We would (and will) highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to anyone coming to Sonoma.

Sonoma Pride! - Caroline was a great tour guide! She shared her pride and love of all things Sonoma! History, Art, food, and wine! Most of all she genuinely cared about finding places for her group to check out on their own time. Great tour!

Amazing experience with Caroline! - This was an absolutely awesome tour! We had a fantastic time and loved ALL the stops. It was wonderful to hear the history of Sonoma, taste local treats, and even visit a winery. We especially loved going to the Olive oil shop for a tasting! Caroline was a perfect tour guide!

Must Do Tour! - Caroline was the most amazing tour guide, taking us through Sonoma and telling us history and fun facts of the area. I was impressed by the fun stops like cheese tasting, wine tasting, pastries and chocolate, and a restaurant stop with flavorful food and drinks. I would recommend this tour so much my mom, sister, and I enjoyed ourselves. As well as getting specific treatment for my mother’s dietary restrictions. Caroline made sure she was good to go!

Family! Fun! Fantastic Host - Caroline was a wonderful host and tour guide. The tour was educational. We learned about the history and gastronomy of Sonoma. The food and drinks we sampled were delicious. We were all full after.
Caroline was able to insert an extra stopping point: Figone Olive Oil. We sampled different olive oils and balsamic vinegar.
This is a must-do! Be camera ready!

Fun, informative and tasty! - My wife and I didn't quite know what to expect ahead of the tour, but upon our arrival we were greeted warmly by Caroline, a warm, smart and well informed tour guide that made Sonoma come to life in so many ways.
This is probably my 6th trip to Sonoma (we live 90 minutes away in San Mateo) and I had no idea there were so many layers to the history of the town and it's agricultural growth. Caroline shared stories of Sonoma's founders and the key individuals who oversaw it's growth going back to Spanish and Mexican and finally American oversight. We stopped for great food tastings and one wine tasting - all were delicious and contributed to our understanding of Sonoma.
Most of all, Caroline was someone we wished lived next door to us. She is kind, patient, thorough and she remains curious about all aspects of this city and region - the best kind of tour guide! Highly recommend this tour.
Pro tips: Be sure to get restaurant and shopping recommendations since they really know the ins and outs of the area. And arrive hungry since there will be ample sampling of food and drink along the way.
