What are people saying about San Francisco

Ron_M, Mar 2026

A must do when in San Francisco

Our experience exploring San Francisco was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing tour guide, Josh! From the moment we stepped into a charming 150-year-old Volkswagen van named Harvey, we knew we were in for something special. Josh was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. He took us to all the must-see spots around downtown, making sure we didn’t miss a single highlight. What really stood out was how relaxed and unhurried the entire tour felt—we never felt rushed and were able to truly soak in the beauty and history of the city. He went above and beyond by offering snacks and drinks throughout the ride, and even took photos for us so we could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves. This tour was worth every penny and more. If you’re looking for a unique, comfortable, and memorable way to experience San Francisco, I can’t recommend Josh and his vintage van Harvey enough! Vantigo bus tour was truly one of the highlight of our San Francisco vacation.

San Francisco Golden Gate To Sausalito Bike Tour

Bibi_E, Mar 2026

Exciting and unforgettable

It made us feel so adventurous riding along the coastline and then crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. My 9 year old grandson had a blast going downhill towards Sausalito. Even though there are two uphills to ride, they are doable and fairly short, you won’t need an E-bike in case you are wondering.

Alfredo_L, Mar 2026

Beautiful Ride, Excellent Guides

Excellent San Francisco to Sausalito e-bike tour. Beautiful views, great equipment, and a smooth, well-organized experience. Special thanks to Eli and Vitrano (apologies if I misspelled his name)—professional, personable, and fun. They made the ride feel easy, safe, and memorable. One of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.

A highlight of our SF visit, awesome spooky tour that honored the historical context..

Jamie was awesome and knowledgeable, had a really greatest balance between what could be considered paranormal vs explainable. We had a really spooky occurrence that was not related to any of the stop points, and he let us honor that experience with time and intention to investigate. Honored the historical context.

Best Way to See San Francisco

We took many tours on our vacation out West and we all agreed this one was by far the best! Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. He asked about sites we wanted to see and tailored our tour to our priorities. He took many photos and shared them with us at the end of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it all!

Sonoma Wine Tour with 2 Tastings Included Small-Group Half Day

Kathleen_B, Oct 2025

Jerry was a fabulous...

Jerry was a fabulous guide. Funny and factual stories were told along our drive to the first winery, Harwood. Dave , the owner, was a laid back interesting fellow, who we enjoyed his “coolness”. The wine was good also, we bought two bottles. The lunch stop in Sonoma gave us plenty of choices. We ate at the Irish Pub, Murphy’s , the owner came over to talk with us. The fish & chips was delicious. The next winery was Jacuzzi, an interesting story behind the name. The venue was beautiful, a tasting of 5 wines ended the day with a relaxing ride back to the ship(we were on a cruise). I highly recommend Jerry and Viator for those wanting a wine tour out of San Francisco.

Yosemite National Park 2-Day Tour from San Francisco with Lodging

Marilyn_W, Sep 2025

Great experience!

Be prepared for a 2-3 mile hike at the early end of the trip. Have good shoes and water. The valley is just wonderful. We stayed in the Valley View Lodge which is abut 45 minutes outside of the park. The Valley Lodge is more convenient to the Yosemite Village where the museum, Ansel Adams gallery, shops, theatre, and food are located. I suggest the film about Yosemite at the theater too. The views up at the granite formations from the valley floor are incredible. It's a very peaceful and yet thrilling experience!

1.5-Hour San Francisco Bay Sailing Tour

Paul_J, Jul 2025

Relaxing and exhilarating

Bring a jacket! But if you forget they have blankets on board and a few loaners. It gets cold on the bay. Captain and crew were very laid back and friendly. Scenery along the route was spectacular with lots of photo ops. Very relaxing afternoon and fun activity for a decent price point. Well worth it!
