Touring Sonoma and San Francisco

Presentations Sonoma assists visitors with area sight seeing trips.  Let us know how much time your guests will have in the area and we'll have a customized suggestion list ready at your vacation home or rental.  We make reservations or tour arrangements as needed.  Recently we were asked "Where are the Victorian houses? "  The guests were referring to San Francisco's famous "painted ladies".  Presentations had a detailed map of how to find them and get a photograph like this one. The couple was furnished with a Sonoma picnic lunch to enjoy at the park across the street. (photo by Brian Johnson, San Diego)

Preparing for New Arrivals

Visited "The Barking Dog" Coffee Shop to get fresh roasted coffee for guests who were arriving late last night.  Having great coffee and fresh cream first thing in the morning is essential to making the Sonoma experience a success for new arrivals.  Also picked up the newest Visitor's Bureau calendar and wine country map.  Double checked the amenities and all is ready!  Enjoy.

Groceries In the Fridge















"Before we hired Presentations to make sure our second home in Sonoma was in order, we would have to spend an extra day preparing for guests. That doesn't include the countless hours we worried about our property. Presentations makes sure our home is safe, ready and welcoming each time we arrive.

Last week we invited a houseful of guests, including a baby and a teenager, to join us. When we arrived each room had beautiful flowers, fresh toilet articles and new magazines for our guests. The teen particularly liked the ones selected just for her.

We asked Presentations to have the refrigerator stocked with groceries so we could we could serve a Sonoma style lunch to everyone immediately- no running all over town and being stressed out.

Thanks Presentations! Our vacation began the minute we arrived."
