Vantigo - The Original San Francisco VW Bus Tour

Simon_P, Jul 2026

Solo day delight

Only had a day in San Francisco after a business trip and boy was I glad this stumbled upon me! Great way to discover the city. Josh was phenomenal with his local knowledge and paired with the ol’ VW van immersive experience - couldn’t have been a better way to spend my day :) It is really worth taking the tour! Highly recommend!

Private Muir Woods Tour + Golden Gate Bridge Stops (3 Hrs, Max 6)

Katherine_C, Jul 2026

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!

Well worth the Cost

Brian our tour guide did a wonderful job showing us around San Francisco. This is a great tour if your limited on time but want to see all the sights. Not to mention Brian gave us some great recommendations and insights into the area. Would highly recommend.

Golden Gate Bridge Guided Bicycle or E-Bike Tour from San Francisco to Sausalito

Lee_M, Jun 2026

A must do excursion!

Marcus and Tolie were fantastic guides! Marcus was very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. He was very friendly and gave us some great must go to spots in Sausalito and San Francisco. Tolie was so nice and patient with my daughter and me. We are from Chicago where hills are nonexistent, and my daughter was a novice to the steep hills, but he stayed with us in back of the group and gave her some pointers and even fixed her kickstand when she had left it partially up. I really appreciated the professionalism from the fitting of the bikes, tutorial on how to operate the e-bikes, to the plan and what to expect on bridge, to how to handle traffic. I felt well prepared and my daughter felt confident and safe. I would recommend this excursion because it is a really adventure and to listen to Marcus’s recommendations on the ferry. I would urge people to book an early time during on a weekday and to get Marcus and Tolie as guides, they really made the experience something we will not forget!

Jaqulyn_D, Jun 2026

Worth it

The staff was amazing. Very attentive to the needs of the people in my group. They allowed us to be first on the boat because of my in law. They were friendly from beginning to end. The girl behind the concession stand was also amazing. All in all worth it. During the boat ride you're given history of everything your passing and they even have translator devices for those who speak a language other than English.

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Bike or Electric Bike Rental

Bike rental in Sf

Had such an amazing experience renting bikes here! The staff was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole process quick and easy. The bikes were clean, comfortable, and in great condition, which made riding around San Francisco so much fun. They gave us great recommendations on scenic routes and places to stop along the way. Exploring the city and riding by the water was honestly one of the highlights of the trip. I would definitely rent from here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting SF!

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

Donna_L, Jun 2026

Mitch made great memories for us!

Mitch is an outstanding tour guide and driver! He provided us an enjoyable experience in Yosemite and is a fantastic cheerleader for reluctant hikers(I actually made it to see Grizzly Giant Sequoia). He provided regular breaks and opportunities to stretch our legs as well as interesting information about the park. It was a great tour. Now, the room at the Lodge was disappointing—the place badly needs a remodel and update! That’s no fault of the tour company—I requested staying there onsite. Others had a choice of staying offsite. The dining room at the lodge was nice and our filet of beef was delicious. Breakfast in the breakfast/lunch facility was like MCDonalds but not as tasty. There’s a Starbucks there as well with basic choices only. So the natural areas of the park are the highlight and plan to be underwhelmed with accommodations except the dining room!

Excellent tour.

The driver was a knowledgeable and professional guide, and his car was very clean and comfortable. He was very flexible and took us to the places we wanted to go as well as places on the itinerary and others that he recommended. Nothing was too much trouble for him as he stopped to allow us to take photos wherever possible. I would highly recommend this tour.

Ghost Hunt in SF Chinatown with a Professional Investigator

addyson_t, Nov 2025

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.

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

Pam_A, Oct 2025

Fun afternoon in Sonoma!

Our driver, Jerry, made the trip interesting with the history & local knowledge. He was very kind & a very fun afternoon. Peter Cellars winery had the best wines & a very quaint atmosphere. The best was delicious wine with his 3 adorable & sweet dogs that weee happy to greet us. We also visited Roche Winery with breath taking views of the vineyards, beautiful patio, & surrounding mountains. Highly recommended this trip & would do it again.
