Yosemite Dsy trip

Absolutely incredible day exploring Yosemite. The scenery was simply out of this world and something we will never forget.

Excellent!

The tourist guide (Mike) gave us lots of informations about the city. All the places in the itinerary has been touched. There was no dull moments while we we're in the bus because Mike kept on telling us the history and the remarkable events in each places. Overall, the tour was great, me and my friends are satisfied eventhough it was a short tour.

GoCar San Francisco Tour

Jimmie_R, Nov 2026

3 and 1/2 hours of fun.

I'm 6'0 and it was a tight fit. Very fun though! We did the "Red" route through Golden Gate Park finishing with a very fun ride down Lombard Street. We had no issues with full sized cars on the route. Plenty of extra choices. Also, the system gives you several chances to turn the 3 and a 1/2 tour we did, onto a shorter route. Very good instruction at the Go Cars shop. The Go car was made for the Red route. We would do it again.

San Francisco Love Tour

Cherryll_C, Oct 2026

Great way to see all the best!

We only had a half day in San Francisco at the beginning of a longer trip. We wanted to see as much as possible without the challenge of driving/navigating on our own. This was the perfect solution and we got lucky to have the VW and the guide to ourselves! Cyrus was fantastic and being a lifelong resident with a tiny audience he was able to really “show us the town”!

Muir Woods and Seaside Sausalito Half-Day Tour from San Francisco

Nupur_C, Oct 2026

Loved Muir Redwoods

Muir Redwood is an absolute must visit for nature lovers. Its very peaceful, even spiritual. We didnt time to go off the main trail but the main trail itself was very beautiful. You could just sit in one place and look at the majestic Redwood trees in complete silence and absorb the beauty of the place. Sausalito was ok, not unmissable though. Its a nice town with lovely eating places.

San Francisco Bay Sailing Cruise

Lililee_J, Oct 2026

This was one of the high...

This was one of the high lists of our trip to San Fran! An hour and a half was just the right amount of time to spend sailing around the bay and taking the sights. The crew was incredible. They were friendly, engaging and passionate about San Francisco area. They took the time to talk with everyone, answer questions, and share their knowledge of the bay. They were wonderful hosts and really made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this experience!

Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry)

colleen_o, Oct 2026

Wonderful Memory

The tour was excellent, narrated history and other details along the way. Excellent overall. Just be aware if you elected ferry return, the Blue and gold ferry is only operating only two trips a day a very restricted schedule. While the other ferry does get you back to SF, it returns to I believe pier 1.
