What are people saying about California

James_C, Nov 2026

Great crew!

We were not finding whales for 3 of our 4 hour tour as they were not were they were expected to be (this was caused by the extreme El Nino we were experiencing). Got information where they were from one of their partner boats and we managed to hit a bunch of males heading South. As the clocked ticked on and we followed the group, a whale in the far distance started some serious breaching. Even though we were due to return to port, the crew stayed out for us to see the show. Really appreciated the consideration and dedication of the crew.

Skip The Bus: San Francisco By Luxury Van Tour

Josephine_A, Oct 2026

Right choice for us

Its a great tour with a knowledgeable guide, Brian, who added more than the usual facts of the places. It was nice to be in a small group and comfortable ride. My mom and I enjoyed it. It was the right pace for my elderly mom and with the van, it was easily accessible and less walking.

Elkhorn Slough Wildlife Tour

Michelle_P, Oct 2026

Beautiful and educational bio tour

Kirby, our tour guide, did a great job describing the bio-diversity of the area. The slough is beautiful and full of plant, bird, and marine mammal life. She was able to point it out to us, name the species, and provide details of their daily lives. The boat itself is electric and very quiet and stable so it does not disturb the wildlife. Be aware that the boat is uncovered so you will want sunscreen and/or a hat if it's sunny.

San Francisco Movie Sights City Tour

Keeley_B, Oct 2026

Don't miss this tour!

Bryan was amazing from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, friendly and the videos you see really put all the movie locations into reality. Was happy to take photos and stop at locations of our favourite movies. Not only movie locations but the scenic spots to get photos of the golden gate bridge and alcatraz were brilliant and not something we would have found ourselves. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is in San Fran.

San Francisco Ghost Tours: Gold and Ghouls Tour

The location of meet up...

The location of meet up is wrong. It’s the corner of Powell and Post in Union Square. 333 Post is the other end of the block. Sacks is no longer there. Thom was an excellent guide. Patient as we hiked up Nob Hill. Answered all our questions. It was just my family so it felt personal.

Deanna_H, Mar 2026

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.

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!
