- APaul Labriola· November 7th, 2025Tour had potential to be fantastic! but unfortunately some of the most iconic attractions one goes to the bay area for were left out. Muir Woods, and a real winery tour and tasting not to mention Alcatraz. fortunately, the tour manager salvaged the trip by at least having interesting and fun facts about just about everything! We are glad we went, but knowing we probably won't ever be there again, were very disappointed those locations were not included.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette

- AJane Grayson· November 7th, 2025My husband and I throughly enjoyed our visit to CA. Our tour director Kelly and bus driver Kenny were both excellent. There were 2 mentally as well as physically challenged men who were not traveling with a much needed caretaker on this trip which was a negative for all the other guests as well as our tour director and bus driver. I would have to say that Collette needs to have a better screening of trip requirements for each guests in regard to physical and mental condition. Both men sat on the front seats and one kept his foot in the aisle as we departed the bus so the rest of us had to exit the bus carefully. I feel the guests on the bus were inconvenienced because of their mental and physical conditions. My husband one day helped one of the men to get their food on the buffet line. I appreciate both Kelly and Kenny make the best of an awkward situation. Now for the positive, the tour was awesome getting to explore the different areas of CA that I had never visited. Getting to visit an almond orchard, winery and tasting at an olive oil business were educational as well as enjoyable. The weather was perfect for our boat ride on Lake Tahoe. Yosemite was a thrill to see El Capitan and watch individuals taking the climb. The 17 mile bus ride along the coast was memorable. We stayed the extra days in San Francisco. The hotel was just the right location to be able to walk to so many places we wanted to visit as well as great to try restaurants. The Hotel Zoe had a beautiful atrium to enjoy comfortable seating with fire pit tables. S'more kits were given out at the front desk so guests could enjoy a yummy treat by the fire. The perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day. Thank you Collette for a well planned out trip!!Show moreTrip date: September 2025Review collected by Collette
- AJanice Zeigler· November 7th, 2025Sweet Kelley made our tour a joy! I loved seeing the Monterey coastline. I loved Yosemite National Park and cruising on Lake Tahoe. I enjoyed San Francisco--riding in a driverless car, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, riding on a trolley, doing the hop on, hop off bus tour. (I know all of San Francisco was on my own, but I enjoyed the opportunity.) One thing of disappointment--we had a great tour of an olive farm and learned all about grading and processing. But, yet--when we got to Napa Valley, we had no tour of any kind. Yes, we had a good meal, but there were no "tastings" or opportunities to ship product home, like we got at the olive farm. Please change this for future trips. Napa Valley did not include the tour we anticipated.Show moreTrip date: September 2025Review collected by Collette
