I wanted to plan an awesome wine tasting tour for the wife's significant birthday. My wife is #6 of…read more6 sisters and I knew she would love to spend this time with her sisters since we live away. This has been years in the planning by the way. I was struggling with how to plan something special for a group of 6 without busting the bank and still getting a great experience. I heard about Kathy & Jim's "The Bus Stop Pismo Beach" tour through a niece. I will tell you this was perfect! First, Kathy & Jim are two of the sincerest people you will meet. They both are members at wineries throughout the Edna Valley, so they know their stuff and they love (almost passionate about... ) wines from this valley. One of the sisters is a a wine lover and shared that every winery that Kathy took them too was some of the best ones to visit. Every stop we had a reserved area so Kathy put in the time and catered the tour to us. But it didn't stop there! They included an afternoon snack time at one of the wineries and they shared local products from the valley too. Again, they are passionate about their valley and it extends beyond the wine. The best part of for me was the ride. It is a working, vintage VW Bus!!! This experience took the sister-in-laws back to their glory days; lol... Kathy was the perfect host. She related to the girls and still hosted a professional and memorable guided tour. If you are looking for a fun, memorable experience...do not pass up this one!!!

The guys were amazing and service was great! I was not sure how my 5 year old and 80 year old dad would do but they both loved it. It was literally a one hour roller coaster / tour guide of the whole dunes. The driver also made it a point to make sure my daughter was comfortable during the ride. Make sure to tip these guys they deserve it!

Laura was very responsive, provided clear information and awesome recommendations on which wineries to try. Our driver, Rhonda was wonderful! She picked us up at our hotel and answered all our questions and the ones she didn't know, she made sure she asked the winery we went to. Our tour went to Claiborne & Churchill, Wolff Winery and Tolosa. Rhonda made sure we had enough time to make it to Slo Brew. The day was perfect! I'd use 101 Wine Tour again for a big group!

Laura reached out in advance and did a survey to understand what each person's taste in wine was. She then tailored the experience to the taste of the group, taking us to some absolutely fantastic vinyards that have made our trip and absolutely fantastic experience. In addition, we asked Laura where to eat while we where in town, and her recommendations did not disappoint. If you are looking for that elevated experience, this is it!

Everybody was dancing and had a good time. My husband bought a bottle of wine and we drink about half of it. I know some of the volunteers there and they really work hard. They're there every weekend when they have concerts setting up staying for the concert and then tearing down much appreciated. Always remember to tip wherever there's a tip jar. My brother and his girlfriend want to go with us when we go again next year. I even recognize people from last year. Great following.

WORST customer service EVER. I purchased tickets online for what I thought was the 1pm tour,…read morebecause that's what the website said, but when the tickets arrived via text they said 1pm. So I emailed for clarification and they responded confirming that I had a 1pm tour. The website clearly says 11 and 1! When I arrived at 12:40 to get into the gate, it was locked. We called and the lady (same lady from email) told me that my tour was at 12 and that I was late, they don't do refunds, she already sent our docent home and that I was wrong on my time. She was SO RUDE!! I do not know how someone like this is still employed here, even if she volunteers, she's costing this place money! I checked my email again, it said 1pm! I called her back to tell her that she was wrong and she continued to blame me for her mistake. So after all of that nothing, I can use the tickets at a later time, even though I'm from out of town, and may not be able to come back. She did not care. This experience has been very disappointing. I really wanted to see the lighthouse, but I do NOT want to see her. And from the other reivews, I can see that she's been there for a while and is rude to everyone. Please find someone else to run this place. Think twice before booking. images for proof

My experience traveling throughout Europe with Cindy and the families at SLO Classical Academy was…read moretruly a lifetime highlight for me. The itinerary, accommodations, transportation, local guides, and unique experiences were thoughtfully planned and organized. Cindy is a calm, kind, resourceful leader who created experiences both adults and children could enjoy, and our educational tours connected perfectly with SLOCA's classical approach and curriculum. We experienced everything from spending a night in a castle to seeing a Shakespeare production at the Globe Theater to a river cruise along the Seine in Paris, a cooking class at a villa in Florence, and plate smashing and Greek dancing in Athens, along with a plethora of museums and walking tours with local expert guides. What I appreciated and loved most was the opportunity for families to experience Europe together while connecting with other families, creating new friendships and a wonderful sense of community. I highly recommend going on all of Cindy's trips because it truly will be life-changing and like no other trip you will ever experience. If you love to learn about our world then trust Cindy to create a once in a lifetime experience for you and your family.

The trip was a great mix of outdoor and cultural experiences. We were able to visit with locals to get a true feeling for the culture with knowledgeable guides and authentic presentations of local dance, food, and arts. We would highly recommend Simply Culture Boutique Travel for anyone who is looking for an authentic cultural experience instead of the same old tourist spots where everyone is trying to sell you something and you're always with a crowd of other tourists.
