Chris and Don started Next Adventure Tours & Tasting in 2018 with the goal of providing transportation services to locals and travelers alike. The owner operated business was officially granted operating authority by the California Public Utilities Commission on August 7th, 2018 (CA TCP# 38135).

Our Fleet
We currently have a 14 passenger Ford Turtle Top VT3 shuttle. The shuttle features 12 rear forward facing premium leather captain chairs each equipped with an arm rest, seat belt, and USB port under each seat. The passenger area offers an independent climate control system for passenger comfort and a surround sound, Bluetooth enabled, stereo system. Another feature of the shuttle is the automatic step that retracts when the passenger door is opened. While not handicapped accessible, the step allows for ease of access to and from the shuttle.
NEW! We are excited to announce that we have added a second shuttle to our fleet! Our newest shuttles is a Ford Transit Passenger Wagon with a medium room, which seats 15 passengers. We are currently in the process of adding this vehicle to our insurance and registering it with the California Public Utilities Commission. Once all the paperwork is completed we will be able to offer multiple services on the same day!
