Thinking about gifting the Big Sur tour. Any tips?

I’m considering this private Big Sur tour as a gift for my sister's birthday. I love that it’s customizable and less crowded than regular tours. I think she’d appreciate the scenic drive and the driver sharing local stories. What should I know before booking? Worth it?

Just did the private Big Sur tour and loved it!

I went on this tour a few weeks ago, and wow, it was incredible! Our driver was so knowledgeable and friendly. We did some hiking in Big Sur and stopped at so many breathtaking lookout points. Totally recommend it for anyone wanting a chill day out of SF.
