Find Something Else
Not a good experience. This tour was about a 3 out of 5 until the end, and then sh*t hit the fan. Tour started by him apologizing for the van being dirty. Ok, thanks for apologizing but why is the van dirty? Our first two stops were at the pier for about 15 minutes and at a winery for about 40 minutes which were fine. Except at the winery, we wanted to get into the van to grab some snacks we had brought and we couldn’t find the guide anywhere. Eventually found him napping on a bench. We then went to a beach for about 15 minutes, Dume point for 15 minutes, and lastly went to Paradise Cove. This is where the tour took a left turn. The guide offered unlimited wine, but brought 2 bottles, which between 11 people, doesn’t last. We expressed disappointment with this, and he did go to the store to get more wine. We also expressed that we were bummed out that there wasn’t enough time to really eat on the tour. After 4 hours in the sun, drinking, we were hoping to get something to eat, but our guide discouraged us from getting food because “the food takes too long”. When we brought this up to him, he got pretty defensive, and when trying to explain that we just were hoping for somewhere to eat, he started talking over us and getting more defensive. He then accused us of wanting to fight? Like, he actually thought we wanted to physically fight him. Nobody in our party ever got physical or approached him in any sort of intimidating way. He then told one person in our party that he couldn’t get back on the van (because he was irritated that this person was voicing his opinion about the food), and he told the rest of us that we can either get back in the van or not. We told him his attitude was unprofessional and we’d rather not get back in the van, and he drove off and left us there. We had to uber back to our cars. It was the wildest, most unprofessional thing I’ve ever experienced. Pick another tour.
Response from the operator: I remember you threatened to give me a bunch of bad reviews because I had to remove your drunk friend from the vehicle after he physically assaulted me. I had to do was was right for the safety of all passengers. I don't run my business in fear of bad reviews, I run my business with safety as priority. Be honest, all of your group had a great time for the 4 hours previous. Please don't take the tour again. Thanks.

Horrible experience!
Our experience with this tour was absolutely horrible and deceiving. From the moment Gavin picked us up, he apologized for the dirty van and started ranting about selling the business because he was fed up with it. This was not the start we wanted for my sister's birthday celebration. Gavin took us to one winery, which was fine, and then to a couple of nice viewing points. However, he told us that the last stop, "Paradise Cove," only allowed drinks and not food. At no point during the tour did he make time for us to eat. When we provided feedback about the tour, he became extremely defensive and claimed that someone in our party was trying to fight him, even though no one got physical. Gavin reacted poorly to our feedback, which was very disappointing—especially for a business owner who should be open to input from paying customers. His response became so erratic that we felt uncomfortable getting back in the van with him, and he ultimately left us stranded mid-tour. We had to take an Uber back to our cars. I 100% do not recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: CRUISELINE LEAVES NO PASSENGERS "STRANDED". WE NEVER HAVE. IF THAT WERE TRUE WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR YEARS IN MALIBU. I remember your group bullying me by threatening bad reviews. Sorry I don't run my business under threat of bad reviews, I run my business in safety of the passengers. My positive reviews over the years will compensate for your lies. Van was never dirty, you all had the time of your lives, and then your drunk knucklehead friend physically assaulted me at the end, 4 hours into the tour. I had to remove him for the safety of myself and other passengers. Everybody else was welcome for the ride back to The Country Mart but you chose to stay with your friend at Paradise Cove. That was your choice. Please take another tour next time. Thanks

Our Tour guide was very...
Our Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable about Malibu and it's history. He provided us with wine and snacks. At each stop we had time to enjoy the beauty of each location. The overall experience was amazing and me and my friends enjoyed the tour a m d the experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks for believing in me! Your group was the first since the fires and I'm so glad it went smoothly. So glad you had a great time.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malibu.
How much does Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malibu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Malibu is not rushed.
Is Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 104 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malibu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Malibu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Malibu and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Malibu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Malibu?
+
Malibu, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Malibu by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Malibu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malibu: Guided Vineyard Hike with Photo Stops and Wine, Scenic Malibu Overlook Electric Bike Tour for Beginners, Malibu: Vintage VW Bus and Vineyard Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Malibu?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Malibu, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Malibu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
