Top Things to do in Napa Valley
10 City Tours in Napa Valley That You Shouldn't Miss
Vines, wines and the people who love them are central to the economy of Napa Valley. Other treats for taste buds are in store, too, in the form of local olive oils, tomatoes, cheeses and mustard. The other senses are catered for with a vibrant visual arts scene. Rent a car or book a taxi or limousine to get between sights safely. The Napa Valley Wine Train offers an unusual way to experience the views and vintages. A relaxing array of spas and mud baths and the Old Faithful geyser are attractions in Calistoga.

Since we live only about 2 hours from San Fran we decided to do a weekend getaway. We booked a private tour as it would be more flexible and we wouldnt be around other people due to COVID restrictions. We are so happy we booked this tour.The entire tour was so much fun! We felt safe and it was super professional. Loved all the spots (especially the Golden Gate Bridge). My husband and I got a ton of great photos and our guide new some secret spots as well which made it really unique. Overall we could not be happier. This was our second tour with ForeverVacation and it was as awesome as the first tour. Thanks again for everything. Next stop... Bali :)

Thank you to everyone at ForeverVacation! As someone who loves urban cities, I had to jump at the opportunity to do a walking tour in San Francisco. The tour checked off every box in the sense of seeing San Francisco’s culture and history! With the luck of a beautiful Summer day, walking along the pier was so peaceful and the view of the bay is gorgeous. Another pleasant part of the tour was walking around the Mission District and visiting the infamous Dolores Park! This specific area of the city is full of life and activity. Many people from all different walks of life enjoying their day in the sun, with friends, family and good energy! Overall, this walking tour was thoroughly enjoyable and I would recommend it to everybody! Thank you ForeverVacation!!!

LOOK NO FURTHER! THEY WILL EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS Our Napa, Alcatraz, Russian River Valley and Yosemite experience with Golden Horizon. Napa Valley has been on our bucket-list for a while, we finally made it to Napa, and we stayed at Solage resort located in northern Napa Valley. The hotel is very elegant and located in a peaceful location near Calistoga. As for sightseeing, we booked multiple private wine tours with Golden Horizon Travel. Our awesome tour guide, Adam, took us to new and exclusive wineries each day, in and around Napa Valley. We also had a wine and food pairing in Sonoma and Napa Valley. The wineries we visited and the wines we had exceeded our expectations. With Adam, we felt like travelling with a friend, he never finished the tour as scheduled, he always added more time to our daily trips and made us feel like a family. We were really glad to book multiple private tours with this company, we had a hot air balloon ride scheduled during the weekend, but we could not fly due to wind and weather conditions. However, the next day, we took off from Yountville, and had one of the best sunrises ever. It’s an exciting and fun experience. Adam is an expert photographer and took a lot of beautiful photos of us, he later shared them with us. This was an amazing experience we will never forget. We wanted to see the big redwood trees and decided to skip Muir Woods and visit the Russian River Valley wineries and Redwoods. The choice of wineries there was a great fit for our taste, we visited DeLoach, Gary Farrell and Merry Edwards Winery. We love pinots and enjoyed awesome wines there. Last, we spared one more day to visit Yosemite national park during our stay in the Bay Area. We had a long day private trip with a nice tour guide, his name is Gerard. He was kind enough to take us on a hike to see the big sequoias after visiting the Yosemite Valley. We are surprised by the beauty and majesty of Yosemite, but a one-day trip doesn’t do justice to Yosemite - I recommend at least 2 or 3 day. Our last day took us from Napa to Alcatraz, and then, we got dropped off at SFO and then flew back home to Guatemala City. Thank you for the memories! We highly recommend this travel company and Adam; you won’t be disappointed. \ Ramiro A. and Irma Lopez
