Then, head upstairs to the historic San Remo Hotel, a Victorian-era building that once housed workers rebuilding the city after the devastating 1906 earthquake.

From San Francisco: Guided Tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito

James_H, Jul 2026

Wonderful afternoon San Francisco/Muir Woods/Sausalito experience

Our guide/driver gave us a very informative and humorous tour of San Francisco on our way to Muir Woods. Muir Woods was absolutely amazing to see and would recommend to anyone. Sausalito was a nice way to end the trip. We took ferry back to SF to get some extra time in Sausalito - also beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and San Francisco skyline from the ferry.

Worth the walk!

Britt was a very informative and entertaining tour guide today. He and I were the only people on this tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought that he did a great job of explaining so many interesting facts and trivia about San Francisco. You can tell he was born here and knew a lot of information that I did not know but appreciated! It was a wonderful day- I definitely accomplished my steps for the day at 17,890!!!! Worth the walk!!

San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Kristy_W, Jun 2026

This experience is an exciting one you will always remember!

From check in to intros around the catamaran, to hoisting the flag, to providing snacks and friendly conversation on the excursion, the crew was AMAZING. Everyone was super friendly and the vibe was like having a get-together with friends! I was traveling alone but didn't feel alone. Other passengers were friendly and it was a one-of-a-kind experience. I highly recommend this for the best view of the bay, the rolling fog, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city at night from the water. I took the sundown cruise starting at 7pm and the excursion was just about 2 hours long. Wear a warm windbreaker, because it is definitely windy and chilly out on the water, and there can be water spray up in front on the deck, but it's so much fun. There are tables and seating inside for passengers who don't wish to expose themselves to the elements, but the view is spectacular and I highly recommend dressing for cold/wet temps and enjoying this thrilling adventure. The crew was so nice, they were great hosts, even giving us chocolates as we left! Do something special for yourself, your family/friends and book passage on this catamaran.

North Beach & Little Italy Walking Tour: Food, History & Flavor

Heather_K, Jun 2026

Perfect mix of delicious food and local history

We loved our North Beach/Little Italy Food Tour! Isabella is very knowledgeable about the area and its history. She has built relationships with the restaurant owners and takes good care of her customers. If I ever go back to San Francisco, I would absolutely do a different tour with her.

Melanie_D, May 2026

The Highlight of Our Vacation!

We had an absolutely amazing time on our Friday Muir Woods and winery tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Dustin! From start to finish, he was incredibly informative, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable about the area. He shared so many interesting facts about the redwoods, the history of the region, and the wineries we visited, which made the entire experience feel special and memorable. Dustin kept the day running smoothly while still making it relaxed and fun. He answered every question with enthusiasm and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the tour. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in how much effort he puts into making the day enjoyable for everyone. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’re so grateful we had Dustin as our guide. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Private San Francisco Custom City Tour - Lucky Tuk Tuk (max 6)

Anastasia_T, Apr 2026

A great tour of all of...

A great tour of all of San Francisco! Our guide Anthony was very friendly and knowledgeable which made it a wonderful experience. Loved learning all about the city. The TukTuk was a fun experience, even in the rain, the heated seats and blankets made it enjoyable (though the seats are firm and it definitely can be a bumpy ride, but that's part of the quirky fun).
