Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

We learned to cook with the Thermomix while working in teams at different stations, preparing dishes from around the world. It was hands-on, interactive, and a lot of fun - every dish turned out delicious. Miggi is a fantastic teacher: clear, detailed, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains techniques in a way that's easy to understand, and we all walked away genuinely better cooks. We also paired the experience with wine tasting and learned how to taste and appreciate wine properly, which made the evening even more memorable. On top of that, Miggi's fun, warm personality really brings the whole experience together. My office team loved it and is still talking about it. Highly recommend for team events or anyone looking for a unique, engaging culinary experience.

First, Tawny, the Sales Leader, was extremely responsive and helped me understand all of the different bus options. We even got an extremely competitive price for a bigger bus compared to others in the area. (Which I will admit initially made me nervous!) The coordination leading up was very straight forward. Payment terms were very reasonable. The day of went PERFECTLY! Our bus driver, Ceaser showed up 15 minutes earlier than I expected. He was very friendly and polite. Once our guest started showing up, he was very personable and helped everyone with luggage that they had. And the bus was in amazing shape. Top of the line amenities, comfy seats, great air flow, and super clean. There were a few amenities we did not take advantage of but I'm sure they were great too! I hope this review helps you! It's hard to find reviews out there, but we really had such a great experience with Royal Coach and I hope you will too!

Our basket held around 20 people, which felt cramped, and we ended up right under the burners. They are loud enough that I would recommend bringing ear plugs. My other complaint is the pre-flight refreshments. The website describes "freshly brewed coffee and artisanal pastries." What we got was watery, unpleasant coffee and pastries that tasted grocery store bought and slightly stale. It undercut the premium framing. That said, the ride and landing were smooth, and the balloon was a wonderful way to celebrate my partner's birthday. Afterward they drove us to Pope Valley Winery for two complimentary tastings and a space to hang out with other guests, which was a nice touch.

As we crossed the bridge we saw Treasure Island and passed through the short Yerba Buena Island Tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel the San Francisco skyline shrouded in fog came into view. We took the first exit on the right and proceeded to the Embarcadero. As we traveled along the Embarcadero we saw the Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street where a Farmers Market was in progress. As we continued we saw many restaurants and piers. We passed the Exploratorium, the cruise ship terminal. (The Port of San Francisco hosts over 80 cruise ship calls and 300,000 passengers annually at the James R. Herman (Pier 27) and Pier 35 cruise terminals.) We passed Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, The Cannery, Cable Car turn-a-round and Ghiradeli Square. All along the Embarcadero we had great views of the Bay and Alcatraz. Next, we traveled for a few blocks on Van Ness Avenue and then turned West on Lombard Street. We traveled down Lombard to the Palace of Fine Arts, our first stop. The Palace of Fine Arts was originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. We took pictures and then returned to the bus. Upon leaving the Palace of Fine Arts we traveled north towards the Golden Gate Bridge which we learned that the name has nothing to do with the color of the bridge which is International Orange. We traveled across the bridge which was barely visible because of the fog, which is typical for this time of year. (Most homes in SF do not have A/C because of the natural air conditioning of the fog.) At the end of the bridge we pulled into the North Golden Gate Vista Point. We took pictures, but the bridge was obscured by the fog and we could not see San Francisco at all. Benjamin Robinson took a group picture of all of us and the grandchildren of George Andrews--the first cousins. Following that, we traveled back across the GGB to SF past the SF Presidio on Presidio Parkway. We turned west on Geary Street and took Geary to Lands End Lookout. We were able to spend a little bit of time here to visit the visitor center and take pictures. From Lands End Lookout we were able to see the ruins of the Sutro Baths, the Cliff House, Seal Rock, and where the San Francisco Bay pours into the Pacific Ocean. Benjamin Robinson was able to get a great group picture and he was able to get into the picture as well. Upon returning to the bus we traveled for a few blocks along Ocean Beach on the Great Highway and then turned up John F. Kennedy Drive into Golden Gate Park past the Beach Chalet and the Dutch Windmill. (Golden Gate Park is 20% larger than Central Park in NYC.) We continued on JFK Drive passing buffalo, soccer fields, manmade lakes, barbeques, and bounce houses until we stopped at the Music Concourse. The area of the Music Concourse includes a stage, Japanese Tea Garden, de Young Museum, and the Academy of Sciences. We departed the Music Concourse and continued through the park past the Conservatory of Flowers which first opened in 1879. It is the oldest building in GGP. Upon leaving the park we turned right on Stanyan Street and then left on Haight Street where we entered the Haight-Ashbury district that became a very popular place for hippies and flower children especially during the Summer of Love in 1967. We continued up Haight past Ashbury and made a circle around to see the "Painted Ladies" (restored Victorian homes painted with at least three colors) and then down to Oak Street to an area named the Panhandle. We made a right turn on Oak. We turned left on Franklin and then right on Grove. We passed the War Memorial Opera House (first meeting of the United Nations was held there), Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco City Hall (London Breed is the first African American female mayor of SF), and the Old SF Public Library which is now an Asian Art Museum. We drove up Larken Street and turned right on California Street. We went to the top of Nob Hill where we saw Grace Cathedral, the Masonic Temple, Pacific Union Club, the Fairmont and the Mark Hopkins hotels. As we continued down from Nob Hill on California Street we crossed Grant Avenue in the heart of Chinatown. We made a left turn on Kearny Street, a left turn on Broadway, and a right turn on Columbus. We passed through North Beach and from the bus we looked up Lombard to see the "crookedest street in the world." From Columbus Street we made our way to Pier 39 where the bus driver dropped us off for one hour. He picked us up at 3:00 PM and took us back across the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Bridge to the Marriott Hotel by 4:00 PM. We had a great time. Everyone was thrilled at the sites and there was such a beautiful spirit of family love.

Worth noting: you are on long train with 3-4 different experiences and it seems you get different things depending on what you paid for.

Ended up on the open air car and it was nicer. you might be better off paying for the base price; buy a drink or two and call it a day. Don't expect gourmet food here; bring a picnic and eat outside before/after your trip.

Boba Tea train: There were a number of issues with this…read moreexcursion. First off, most of the tea samples came with little to no ice and were somewhat warm. This made some of the undrinkable. Others were somewhat warm cloyingly sweet as to be unpleasant. Overall, though both of us are fans of boba tea- we would suggest a different vendor or more training for the staff preparing the samples. Roughly half of the flavors were not good at all. Additionally, they listed "boozy" flavors on the menu but never said anything about how to get those or whether they were included. Second problem- we preordered dumplings as did apparently a LOT of people. There were no dumplings on the train, only rice bowls. Furthermore- the waitress didn't know what we were talking about when we mentioned having preordered food. At least half of the tables in our car had preordered dumplings and were very disappointed. There was no information on how to obtain a refund if we didn't want the substitute of a rice bowl. About halfway through our trip, the train lost power which included lights, air conditioning, and the ability to flush toilets. Power stayed off with no explanation for more than 15 minutes, causing the car to become very warm and stuffy. Overall, this excursion suffered from lack of communication, lack of staff training, lack of preparation on the part of the organizers. Given the cost, I would not recommend this.
