SB Limos went above and beyond! We just did a wine tour with them last weekend and it was so much fun. From the moment i called and booked they took care of everything. They called the wineries, set up our reservations, made sure we had plans for lunch, arranged for the driver to pick it up for us, and the driver made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. He even offered to take pics of us at one of the wineries which was so awesome! This pandemic has changed everything, but this day was such a fresh breath of air, and i thank SB Limos for everything they did. Highly recommend. Ask for Stephanie when booking, she will help you with everything.

I chanced upon American Riveria Tours on TripAdvisor and contacted Galina who provided prompt and helpful advice. Subsequently booked a few transfers and sightseeing tours with the company after reading all the positive reviews. Galina and Yuriy are simply awesome who provided excellent service. The tours were fun and interesting which were very much enjoyed by my family. Two thumbs up for the couple Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vegas/ LA/ San Diego. Galina and Yuriy are simply excellent!!
