    Awful communication!

    Poor communication, called us 30 mins before booking to tell us they could not take my full group of 6 on the tour and when I asked if I could get a refund the man that spoke to stated that he would have to discuss it with his supervisor and get back with me. It’s been 24 hours and he never did. Based on this I do not recommend this business because they lie and steal from their customers.

    Response from the operator: Hi Juliana, , Thank you for sharing this, and I'm sorry for the frustration your group experienced. This isn't the standard we hold ourselves to. To clarify for other readers: our tours are booked per-ticket, so when a group arrives with more guests than were reserved, we're often unable to accommodate the extras on short notice due to safety and vehicle/guide capacity limits. We did send a standard reminder the day before your tour with your scheduled time and details, but it didn't catch the mismatch between your reservation and your actual group size. That issue wasn't flagged until a call just 30 minutes before your tour — far too late for you to make other arrangements. We should have caught this much sooner, and I'm sorry that didn't happen. I also want to address the follow-up on your refund. You were told a supervisor would review it and get back to you, and going 24 hours without a response after that promise is not acceptable. I apologize for that gap, and I'm looking into what happened on our end. Please reach out to me directly at jaydy@thirdwheeltours.com so I can personally make sure your refund is resolved and answer any other questions. We'd like the chance to make this right. Thank you for your patience, and again, I'm sorry we fell short here. JD

    One of a kind

    Ocean Mike gave us a great tour of Wolf Vinyard. Such a unique and very fun way to learn about viticulture! Just book it 😁

    Great First Time Scenic Tour

    First time doing the winery scenic tour and it was great an experience, especially with the sidecar. Our guide Mike A. was friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this trip and request Mike A. as your guide.

    Fantastic and Fun!

    My curious 12 year old grandson enjoyed the tour. In my opinion, however, any child younger would possibly be bored. I, on the other hand, am 77 and enjoyed the tour tremendously! I hope to bring friends back when all the sunflowers are in bloom. We both learned so much about the wine making process thanks to our fantastic driver ( sorry, my 77 year old mind can’t remember their name)! Wonderful tour! I will recommend to all.

    The tour was very...

    The tour was very informational, and it was fun to write in a sidecar. Stephanie, our guide was very knowledgeable. I do feel for the price of the trip. You do not get the best bang for your buck. It would be a much greater value if they threw in a wine tasting after the trip.

    Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Luis Obispo.

    How much does Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Luis Obispo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 San Luis Obispo is not rushed.

    Is Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in San Luis Obispo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo?

    +

    Around 9 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 San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Scenic Vineyard Tour Adventure San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo?

    +

    San Luis Obispo, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in San Luis Obispo by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every San Luis Obispo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Electric Bike Rental in Morro Bay, Guided E-Bike Tour of Morro Bay, Downtown SLO Brunch Food & Drink Walking 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 San Luis Obispo?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in San Luis Obispo, 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 San Luis Obispo?

    +

    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.
