convenience at its finest
Our experience was a 10/10! Our driver/ tour operator Ron was very knowledgeable about telling us about nearby places. We were picked up right in front our hotel, bought to see views of the bay bridge, battery Spencer to see/ take photos of Golden Gate Bridge, and lastly 2 wineries. We also had lunch in Sanoma plaza. Ron allocated timing perfectly with previously mentioned places. We got a bit of history and wasn’t rushed in the slightest way. This tour is perfect for tourist who don’t want to drive and also deal with the hassle of booking tastings. Everything was done for us and we loved that!

Best tour of San Francisco
This was by far the best tour we have been on during our holiday in the US. We loved that the tour included so much of what we wanted to see in San Francisco. Shoutout to our tour guide Brendan, he was awesome, such a character and he made our trip so much fun! SF Excursions should be the only company you choose to book a tour to see the main attractions San Francisco. If we could give it 10 stars we would!!

Fabulous Monterey and 17 mile dive with Pebble Beach stop
Had a fabulous tour of the Monterey Peninsula and 17 mile drive with Nate. He is so knowledgeable and was a fantastic host for the day. He gave us all the info we needed about the stops and interesting facts of them.
A number of us were particularly keen to go to Pebble Beach golf club and he extended the stop there to accommodate us and was the highlight of the tour.
Would highly recommend this tour

Excellent option for Muir Woods visit
Well worth the fee. Adequate time to immerse yourself in the awesome Muir Woods. Quick look around Sausalito - we opted for a cocktail). On the way back we were able to view the Golden Gate Bridge from a high vantage point - great photos. Our guide Roman, originally from Germany, enlightened and entertained us the entire time and then dropped us each at or near our chosen location.

Wow!!!!
What an amazing day! This tour is a MUST. Nino was the most fabulous host/driver for our group and the people on our bus… they absolutely made our day. The vineyards we visited were outstanding. Honestly with the wines and the e people, this was THE best trip I’ve done in a very long time!

Sharon's the best guide!
Sharon was incredible!! I wish I had more cash so that i could have tipped her more! She's an amazing tour guide and I had no idea that my trip was going to be this good!
The day couldn't have been better. She was so knowledgeable about the different sites that we passed on the way to Yosemite. It made the drive up way more fun than if I had done it myself, eveyone enjoyed the ride up. Some of us slept because it was so early in the morning.
I learned and saw a lot with the group. She's really kind and very thoughtful. She will take notice of things and proactively help or take action. I got a little car sick and she asked me if I would sit up front. I felt much better. She did many little things like that that added a whole new layer to the great experience we had.
Another example was, letting us explore while she dropped off two of our group members that were staying overnight. I hope shes getting paid top dollar. Because shes the definition of a professional tour guide.

Exceptional tour guide on a fun trip!
The tour guide Patrick (of Dylan's tour) is very knowledgeable about the city and shared a lot of information about different neighborhoods and landmarks. He engaged us travelers from different parts of the world in some fun game and made the trip memorable one. Highly recommend this tour and if you have Patrick as your tour guide, you will enjoy and have a lot of fun.

Well organized and...
Well organized and excellent experience. The bus was new and clean with access to outlets. The driver was funny and informative. We had enough time in the Muir Woods and Sausalito. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in visiting both locations while visiting San Francisco. Really appreciated having this tour as an option, given that buses to Muir Woods were not available early in the year.

Perfect tour with service and style
Dustin was an amazing tour guide start to finish. We were able to catch a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, walked through Muir Woods getting lost in awe of the glorious redwoods, then enjoyed every sip as we toured 3 vineyards. The meal addition was well worth it!
Dustin ensured to give a great overview and background of the city’s history while also choosing the music to correspond with what we were doing or local hits from San Francisco, Francisco, or about San Francisco. Nice touch! This tour is the perfect combination to hit in one day if you have the time.

The Views are Worth it
Overall this was a fantastic experience, although it is a long one. We got to see plenty of views of the valley. I would note that if you are looking to see a lot of big trees - you would be disappointed with this one, I suggest looking at others.
Glenda - our tour guide was excellent. She made for a very enjoyable experience.

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.

Yosemite the perfect celebration of America's majesty
Yosemite Day Tour by Incredible Adventures was a perfect celebration for America's birthday on the 4th of July. We truly appreciated the chance to marvel at nature's majesty and understand the history of Yosemite from being the home of the Native Americans to being protected as a national park. Thank you for providing an awesome and convenient experience that otherwise would have been more difficult with the long and arduous drive to Yosemite.

A small peninsula in the middle of the California coast, San Francisco makes a strategic base camp for exploring Northern California and the Central Coast. See some of the Golden State's most iconic attractions by embarking on guided day trips from San Francisco, traveling to such destinations as California's wine country, redwood forests, national parks, and the coastal cities of Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea.
