This is a must do!!! ...
This is a must do!!! Trevor was our guide and he was phenomenal! Very informative, made sure everyone had the opportunity to take pictures and everyone had enough time exploring each of our stops. Very long day but was worth it. The hike back from seeing the Redwoods was one mile all uphill but worth seeing the Giants. The park is breathtaking . Favorite part of our trip to San Francisco!

Great time 10/10
It was great! Meeting time was 9am and we were offered snacks on the bus but if you are some one who needs breakfast then you should have breakfast before. The best part was the Golden Gate bridge.
Sully was very nice and the history age stories were wonderful!

Skip the Bus tour of San Fransisco
Brian was an incredibly competent and knowledgeable guide. Being a native of San Fran, he had all the history as well as insider bits of info that made what we saw very interesting and fun! He prepared snapshots on a screen for us as well as provided snacks and water. The van was very clean and comfortable. The group size was only 6 so it was very relaxed as well. I would highly recommend this tour with this guide.!

A fun and unique way to see San Francisco
This tour was exactly as described and exactly what we wanted: a fun and informal tour of beautiful San Francisco. Captain Dave was our guide and he was fun, informative and friendly - it basically felt like a friend was showing us around the city, taking our pictures, posing with us in pictures and telling us funny anecdotes. The van is also great and you can’t help but feel like minor celebs being driven around in it! We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour !
My main advice take a battery pack phone charger or your charger cord , if you like taking pics. With your phone . Cristin was our guide and she was phenomenal and super knowledgeable about San Francisco and the wine country region. Enjoyed the tour ! 🍷

Wonderful tour and wonderful guide!
Jeffrey was a wonderful, witty tour guide! Loved all of the bits of wisdom he shared during the tour--super friendly and fun guy! Our family of 7 adults thoroughly enjoyed this tour--we got to see a lot of the interesting sights around San Francisco, had an extended time in Muir Woods where we got to go on a short hike, and we opted in to the Alcatraz Tour which was interesting as well. Highly recommend this tour!

A fantastic trip to Yosemite
This was a wonderful trip from San Francisco. It was great that the pick up was right outside our hotel. The tour guide (Randall) and bus driver (Coney) were both fantastic. The tour guide was training the bus driver so we had two great men on our trip. The stop at the Safeway for potty and picking up food was wonderful. You can grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside and then grab some snacks and lunch for later in the day. I highly recommend getting lunch here because if you wait to grab lunch in Yosemite, you won't have very much time to look around the park. The lodge was very busy and I was glad we ate our lunch on the bus while driving. We stopped at a few places to get beautiful views of Half Dome and El Capitan. The views of the park are stunning. The falls weren't really "falling" as it was August and mostly dry. Spring and early summer you can see them better according to our guide.
The Tuolumne Sequoia Forest was beautiful but beware - it is about a mile down to see the trees. The walk down wasn't bad, but coming back is not for the faint at heart. It will take twice as long (longer if you have asthma or bad knees). I am glad I did it, but I heard the Muir Woods hike was much easier.
I am so glad we did this tour. It was a very long day on a bus, but you get to sit back and view the beautiful scenery as you drive by. The guide tells you about the areas as you travel by and gives you a good history of the area.

Fantastic tour! Small...
Fantastic tour! Small very nice van. Only 8 people on our tour which was wonderful . Dustin gave us great information as we drove through San Francisco to Muir Woods. Stopped at Golden Gate Bridge for a quick foto opportunity. Muir Woods is a must do! The Redwoods are awesome. After we stopped at Sausalito, very cute little town. Great stop for some ice cream and see the marina or visit little shops. Great afternoon tour!

Best of the “City”
We had a fantastic time on the VW bus tour in San Francisco. The route covered many of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street and the Painted Ladies. The guide was knowledgable, entertaining, and shared interesting stories about the city’s history and culture. I highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative sightseeing experience!

Tour de SF Bay
This is a great way to get an overview of the SF Bay, its history and a real ocean experience. The cruise narration was very informative and engaging, which will give you ideas on where you would like to visit in the Bay Area. The boat goes under and around the Golden Gate Bridge and a close-up cruise-by Alcatraz Island. It can be pretty windy and cool on deck so bring something to cover you up.

Amazing Redwoods & Sausalito Experience
This was a wonderful half-day tour and a great way to experience two iconic Bay Area destinations without the stress of driving. Muir Woods was absolutely breathtaking—the giant redwoods are even more impressive in person, and we had plenty of time to explore the peaceful trails. Sausalito was the perfect follow-up with its beautiful waterfront, charming shops, and relaxing atmosphere. The transportation was comfortable, well-organized, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco!

Great Sailing Boat Activity
This was the best sailing boat activity. We were so glad that we picked this company. The sailboat was clean, not too many people, and after getting launched we could sit up front. The ride was peaceful, beautiful, we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, the workers were kind and seemed to like their job. There wasn't too much noise which was refreshing - no loud music, etc. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Of all the San Francisco bus tours, the “love” tours that zip around the city from the Painted Ladies Victorian homes to the Twin Peaks viewpoint in Volkswagen vans might be the most fun. If these offbeat treks are a bit granola for you, other bus tours are convenient for exploring the city and surrounding areas in comfort. Hop-on hop-off bus tours offer ultimate flexibility and freedom, while guided coach tours travel to Muir Woods and even as far as Yosemite National Park and the Monterey and Carmel area.
