Best tour ever!
Amazing! Captain JJ is a wizard at finding the right place to spot whales. We saw several humpbacks and thousands of dolphins. Maddie was doing the play by play and her energy is unmatched. Kahlea (sp?) was also super energetic and knowledgeable. This is a tour we will remember forever!

A Whale of a good time!
Great experience for all . Saw so many whales, dolphins, seals, etc. Naturalist and Captain were so knowledgeable. 3 hours went flying by as there was so much to see. The boat was comfortable , plenty of room to sit and walk around in decks. Well maintained vessel. Lots of options to book with other companies, but this was by far the best!

A Must-Do for Film Buffs & Fans of SF!
We had such a great experience on this San Francisco movie tour this past weekend! Even as locals, Richard and I got to see the city in a completely different light.
The tour was engaging, fun, and full of surprises—we learned so much about San Francisco’s rich film history and saw familiar places with a whole new perspective. It really made us appreciate the city in a deeper way.
I’d highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals. It’s a unique and memorable way to explore San Francisco and discover just how many iconic movies have been filmed here!

Do NOT miss this opportunity
The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. I'm not techy. I couldn't get the GPS audio to work. I swung back around to request help. They were extremely apologetic and quickly identified and fixed the issue. The issue was I'm an idiot and didn't know where the volume toggle was located.
I highly recommend the 3 or 4 hour package. It takes you all over the City. It was fun, exciting, and absolutely worth it.

Fantastic Overview of the City
This tour was a great introductory tour of the city. The tour guide knew background information for each tour stop. There were plenty of stops for photos and he even offered a personalized snack from local vendors in the city. Lastly, he recommended other places based on my personal interests. I highly recommend it!

A must tour when visiting the Bay
This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

Great day on the water!
We did the whale watching tour out of Newport Beach. While we didn't see any whales, we did see a large pod of dolphins. The captain and crew were fantastic and made the adventure safe, informative and fun. I liked that there were refreshments on board for purchase.

A must
Booked a brunch cruise through Viator with my two girlfriends and it was EVERYTHING! Bottomless mimosas, a carving station, glazed Atlantic salmon, eggs, bacon, sausage, chicken, salads, pastas, and a dessert table that was insane—cheesecake, red velvet & French toast?! Yes please 😍 Don’t let the cloudy morning fool you—the sun came out and the views were gorgeous. We got the best photos and had the best time.
Such a fun and delicious experience. Highly recommend!

Mosts of the Ghosts
Great little experience. It was just me, the host and the ghosts, and I'm glad the excursion wasn't cancelled because it was the last night of my trip.
It does include *hills* like only San Francisco can offer so be wary if you're daunted by a hike.
That being said, the host took her time and let me asthmatically wheeze up the hill which I was grateful for.
The stories and history were fun and there were plenty of photo worthy stops.
Also a fair amount of SFs walking their dogs so puppy loving along with spooky vibes 😍

The highlight of our visit to San Francisco!!!
Wonderful experience from the moment we started the tour! Randy was the ultimate tour guide, very informative and personable! He went above and beyond in making sure that our experience was memorable! It will definitely be a highlight of our visit to SF for many years! We will definitely visit the city again and book another tour, hoping with Randy as our guide!

Scenic cruise of San Fran Bay
Stunning views, 90 mins about right duration, well organised, informative. Good way of seeing many landmarks. Saw a dolphin and some seals. Didn't try snacks/drinks and info was all pre-recorded. We had plenty of space on the top floor deck outside, it wasn't busy that day.

Amazing and Romantic Memories
Our daughter bought us the tickets and reserved the ride for us. We were so excited about it this is an amazing experience we really love it and enjoyed it. Very romantic and my husband was very impressed and wants us to come again. We did great for our first time. We really recommend it.
