It is here that millionaires gathered together, vying with each other in display". My Nob Hill tour is a 2-hour walking photo-shoot tour that starts with a Cable Car ride and a visit to a French Gothic Cathedral and ends at the Top of the Mark on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel for photographs and beverages at sunset. The eclectic history of Nob Hill includes: * The Gold Rush (not the San Francisco 49r cheerleaders) * The Silver Bonanza (not including Ben Cartwright, Ben, Hoss or Little Joe) * The Transcontinental Railroad * The 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and * A spectacular French-Gothic design Episcopal Cathedral that took nearly 40 years to build.

The village of Glen Park is nestled among the slopes of the San Miguel Hills near the heart of San Francisco, just south of Twin Peaks. It is the gateway to a hidden gem of 70 acres of open space known as Glen Canyon, of which 60 acres is officially designated as a Significant Natural Resource Area. Much of the history of Glen Park and Glen Canyon is closely intertwined, from early open-range cattle grazing and "milch" ranches, to an explosive direct link with today's prestigious Nobel Prizes, to a radical sales gimmick for selling home lots that included just about everything from lions and bears to trick shooters and high-flying aeronauts! In addition to the area's remarkable cultural history, we'll also discover some of the highlights of the canyon's natural history as we trek through. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

What are people saying about San Francisco

Vantigo - The Original San Francisco VW Bus Tour

Diana_H, Sep 2026

Vantigo

Great tour through SF with several stops for photos. Chad provided a lot of information about the various areas we drove through. Loved that he said hi to several locals whom he knew. Also loved "Harvey" his restored VW bus which we rode in. He thoughtfully gave us turns sitting in front passenger seat. Since we had to wait a half hour for 3 passengers to show up, he extended our tour by a half hour (after making sure it was okay with us all). I also loved that he played "area appropriate " music as we drove along, enhancing the entire experience (plus he didn't object to several of us singing along whether we could carry a tune or not). Overall a great way to spend an afternoon. I highly recommend this tour whether your first, or a return trip to SF.

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Bike or Electric Bike Rental

Stephanie_H, Sep 2026

A must-do while in San...

A must-do while in San Francisco! The staff here is friendly and very informative. They will give you clear directions on how to navigate, and if you have the time, bonus stops. After biking the bridge we continued on into Sausalito (very doable with the e-bikes); a charming town with great food. From there we traded in the bikes for the ferry that took us right by Alcatraz. I recommend asking if you can return your bike to the pier location, which is what we did. Mikey Bikey made the drop off process seamless. Dropping them off there made it very easy to then explore Pier 39 and see the sea lions. To note - my wife and I did this while in port during our cruise trip.

Fabulous tour

Amazing tour of San Francisco. Dirceu or driver and guide was helpful, professional and friendly. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. I think we saw just about everything. Only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you very much. Can highly recommend.

Golden Gate Bridge Guided E-Bike Tour to Sausalito

E-Bike Golden Gate

This was AWESOME! I highly recommend this tour. The views were amazing and the history was so interesting. The bikes were easy to use and I always felt safe. There were several brief stops for photos and a bathroom stop. The ride over the GG bridge was an experience of a lifetime. I recommend taking the bikes back on the ferry to Pier 39. I highly recommend this tour.

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

Luis_D, Aug 2026

Where Nature Speaks Loudest: A Journey Into Yosemite’s Timeless Beauty

This was, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and memorable tours I have ever taken. Yosemite National Park is absolutely breathtaking, and experiencing its spectacular landscapes, towering cliffs, waterfalls, and incredible natural beauty made this a day I will never forget. A huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide, Sara. She was simply outstanding — incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, energetic, and always available to help. Throughout the entire day, Sara went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, engaged, and enjoying the experience. Her enthusiasm and dedication truly made a difference and turned an already amazing tour into something genuinely memorable. I also have to mention the excellent music selection during the long hours on the road. It might sound like a small detail, but it made such a difference! The music created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, helping the whole group unwind and making the journey itself part of the experience. The combination of Yosemite’s extraordinary scenery, a well-organised tour, the great atmosphere within the group, and especially Sara’s exceptional guidance made this an unforgettable day.

Escape from Alcatraz

The self-guided audio tour is the standout feature, narrated by former inmates and guards, which visitors describe as "immersive," "chilling," and "powerful." This audio guide allows for a flexible pace and is widely credited with bringing the prison's history to life. The ferry ride from Pier 33 offers scenic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and city skyline, enhancing the overall experience.

Best Morning in San Francisco

We had such a fun morning on the Jeep tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito. Brian was an amazing guide! He shared so many stories about San Francisco, Sausalito, and Muir Woods, and went out of his way to show us lots of the city’s highlights along the way. The scenery was beautiful, the tour was fun, and Brian made the whole experience even more memorable. We highly recommend this as a must-do when visiting San Francisco!

San Francisco: Major Landmarks Private Sightseeing Tour

Katherine_A, Apr 2026

Fantastic First-Time San Francisco Private Tour.”

We had an outstanding experience on the San Francisco major landmarks private sightseeing tour. Marciano did an excellent job from start to finish. The tour was informative and engaging, with great stories and context shared about all the major landmarks. Marciano was thoughtful about logistics—dropping us off at the best spots, taking group photos for us, and making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. The music in the car added a fun vibe while driving around the city, and Marciano’s professionalism really stood out. The tour felt both well-organized and relaxed, which made it especially enjoyable. This private tour is highly recommended, especially if it’s your first time in San Francisco. Marciano was very accommodating with drop-off locations and provided excellent recommendations for continuing our exploration on our own afterward. A truly memorable experience.

Nappa Valley Winery Visit

We had an amazing experience, which we attribute primarily to our driver and guide, Anna. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and even managed to secure us a spot at a wine tasting for which we did not have a prior booking by skillfully coordinating with the hostess. We highly recommend this company and, specifically, requesting Anna as your guide
