Top 5 Bus Tours in San Luis Obispo, California (CA)

May 20, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

Halfway between San Francisco and L.A., San Luis Obispo can be a relaxing getaway or a buzz of activity. For serenity, pack a lunch and head to one of dozens of wineries or take a drive to the beach for a leisurely swim. For a dose of history, visit the heart of the city at the beautiful Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Kids will love the Children’s Museum or Skate Park. Be sure to stroll along the creek downtown, where there are breweries, wine bars, restaurants and shopping for all tastes.

This semi-private door-to door, "hop-on, hop-off" wine tasting tour service lets you set your pace and create your own wine tasting itinerary in Paso Robles Wine Country. The approximately 5-hour service picks you up at your accommodations and start you on their loops. They service over 60 wineries in the region and you just pick and choose where you want to “hop on” and “hop off” all day long.  When you decide to "hop off" your driver walks you in, introduces you to the staff who will conduct your tasting.  S/he will return in approximately 40 minutes, come into the tasting room, let you know s/he is back and if you're ready to go you just "hop on" and proceed to the next winery of your choice. If you are enjoying yourself, you can stay for another approximately 40minutes, or longer. It's your choice!

Just went this past weekend for Mother’s Day 5/8/2021. Chose the East Side tour and went to Hemingway first. Gorgeous winery with a very chill vibe. They were just setting up for mid-afternoon music but we were scheduled to have lunch at Robert Hall. Our driver Spencer got us there exactly at 1pm. At this point we are starving and little tipsy from the first tasting. Come to find out the kitchen is closed for lunch at 1pm. Yes, that is ridiculous!! We begged our waiter to bring us something more than cheese and bread and he begrudgingly brought us out 2 sandwiches. My vegan daughter who was also ravenous AND tipsy had nothing to eat. I complained the Jason at the Wine Line. He was shocked that they were closed for lunch. He offered to supply a veggie wrap at a cost. Little shocking to us, since he should have known that our only lunch spot would not be serving lunch. Finally, he offered to pay for the sandwich and Spencer had it available at our next winery which was Eberle. We skipped Penman because we drove by it on the way to Hemmingway’s and it looked sad. I’m sure they have great wines. Anyway, back at Eberle all is good. They have a beautiful tasting spot in the shade looking out over sprawling vineyards. Definitely the best stop. Shout out to our driver Spencer who was over the top helpful and a pleasure to chat with. All and all a good bordering on great experience!!

Wonderful day of wine tasting and touring the coastal area. Toast Tours helped us with the reservations we needed for lunch and wine tastings then their knowledgeable guide made the day even better and more memorable by providing us some historical context. Highly recommend!

The title says it all. Booking SLO on line is easy. They get back to you very quickly to confirm details and the quote is all inclusive. Noah texted us when he had arrived for pick up. Our travel reservation was very early in the morning and there was no guarantee of obtaining a ride from ride share providers. Thanks to Noah and Vanessa for courteous and professional service.

Alas, C19 did not allow us to fly to SD and take this trip. We will re-book when possible. Brain has communicated with us very well. Seems one of the good guys to me.
