Trip to SF with my mother. Had a fabulous time. Wine tasting and a detour at a tea house while waiting for the winery. - Winery had technical difficulties, so our guide, Maria, took us to a tea house while we waited for the winery to open. Fabulous tea and food.

Maria is great :-) - Very good Tour! Maria was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. The Embarcadero and Market building had many great shops and the tour price included both food and wine tasting! We had frozen hot chocolate, charcuterie with the wine tasting, an authentic Italian dessert, Italian soda, and espresso to finish off the tour. Since we skipped tasting local seafood we were treated to a bottle of wine to go! Maria was a very positive and informative guide. She loves San Fran and this is evident in her energy for the city. She suggested a walking route “home” (to the hotel) through Chinatown which also led us to the higher end shopping! Great walking tour! Very leisurely pace. Walked 0.9 mile to our meet up spot, 1mike on the tour, and 1 mile back to the hotel. Perfect afternoon activity!

Tasting experience with Maria - We had a great time with Maria which was an top notch guide to local wines and San Francisco in general. We also got the oppurtunity to taste local sea dishes which was a perfect match to the wines she picked to us. Highly recommended!

Wonderful slice of SF - My guide, Maria, had an effervescent love for the city, and was delighted to share it with me. I learned so much & explored areas I might not have sought for it on my own. Maria was generous and insightful, and I definitely recommend touring SF with her!

Not a Wine Tour - This was a WINE Tasting tour. We filled out a surgery on our likes and dietary restrictions. (no dairy for us and no white wine). We got to the market place to meet up with Maria. Our first stop was an iced chocolate drink with milk. Then she took us to a store for shopping. Then in the same building, we sat down to have a wine tasting with cheese and bread. Me and my friend had to SHARE the glasses of the wine tasting. I would have expected we would have gotten our own glasses for tasting and not have to share the 2oz samples. Then Maria took us to a tea house for hot tea in the same building. How is this a wine tour? And we did not see and taste from different places. NOT what was advertised at all and I do not recommend.
