The visit to the de Young Museum was thoroughly enjoyable. The view from the museum tower nine floors above showcased the lovely grounds below and gave a spectacular view of the San Francisco surroundings.
The exhibits were refreshing with the exquisite The Girl with the Pearl Earrings amongst the works of the various Dutch artists. The room with the whimsical pieces was a favorite with a mixture of silver raindrops poised from the ceiling, Chiluly flowers and bowls, and pieces of varied textures and colors.

Best of Berkeley Gourmet Food Tour
Berkeley, California
My Rating
My Review
This Berkeley food tour was outstanding! We visited nine locations around the Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood, and the samples at each spot were tasty and quite varied. The group was small, so it was easy to hear our guide (Carrie, who was fantastic!) as she explained the story behind the restaurants, shops, and dishes. Each person we met at the stops was very passionate about what they do, and shared very interesting stories. I feel like a learned a lot on this tour, and as a San Francisco resident I look forward to returning to many of these places that I never would have found on my own.

We went with the dinner option on the Wine Train and it was fabulous! We started with appetizers and a glass of wine on the way up (which were delicious) and enjoyed great views of vineyards as the train slowly passed by. The train itself is beautiful and old with lots of great character. It was interesting hearing about the history of it. After the first course, our salads, then entrees, dessert and coffee came, along with more wine. Every part was really good, and the atmosphere was unique. Loved it and I look forward to trying the lunch version as well!

I am so glad I did this tour! I was hesitant at first, but the crew made me feel comfortable and as safe as possible. The view of the falls from the barrel was amazing and the ride was exhilarating. Highly recommend!

We arrived late on a Monday evening and were so thankful that we had this transfer. Getting back to San Francisco from the Oakland airport on public transit is not easy, and this pick-up was a total life-saver.

It's not that easy getting to the Oakland airport from San Francisco on public transit, so this transfer saved us so much time and hassle. The driver arrived on time, was really friendly, and got us to the airport quickly.

Small-Group Molokini Snorkel and Green Sea Turtle Adventure from Maui
Maui, Hawaii
My Rating
My Review
This tour was AMAZING! I had never gone snorkeling before, but Sean and Kelly were outstanding tour guides who made us feel comfortable and safe the whole time, and I successfully snorkeled without any problems. We saw giant turtles, a ton of whales, and lots of fish. They provide breakfast, lunch, plus all kinds of gear, including wetsuits and flippers. We made four stops for snorkeling, and our favorite was the back side of the Molokini Crater--it was teeming with fish and Kelly was with us pointing out all the different wildlife. Highly recommended!!!

Maui Hana Coast Day Trip

My Review
This tour was excellent. The driver was extremely knowledgeable and we learned SO much about the history and culture of Maui. We made several stops for photos, plus extended stops at a black sand beach, the Seven Sacred Pools, a delicious organic farmers market lunch in Hana, and a wine tasting on the way back. It was great being able to sit back and enjoy the amazing views instead of having to drive. We also drove the "Back Road to Hana," which was a highlight for me, and a road that not many other people drive on their own. Highly recommended!!!
