What are people saying about San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz

Susan_H, Mar 2026

Good experience, great tour guide!

A good tour that hits many of the San Francisco landmarks - our tour guide (Sullivan) was very knowledgeable, shared historical insights and stories about the city, and was a very capable photographer! Definitely would recommend this experience for those who do not want the driving hassle.

Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco

Alex_Y, Mar 2026

What an amazing experience!

Kurt is the best! Fun, energetic, and never runs out of jokes. The tour itself was fantastic, with beautiful scenic views and picturesque landscapes, and there was also time to rest and explore. I would highly recommend this tour and Kurt if you are in San Francisco and want to visit Yosemite. It will save you lots of time and hassle, and you get to see all the highlights!

San Francisco in One Day

Rochelle_A, Mar 2026

Great tour company

This tour was awesome and honestly one of the best things we did in San Francisco. It’s such a great way to see a ton of the city in one day without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. We got to check out a bunch of different neighborhoods and landmarks, and it felt like a really good mix—not just the typical tourist stuff. The guide made a huge difference too—super friendly, easygoing, and shared a lot of cool facts and stories along the way without it ever feeling boring or scripted. Everything was really smooth and well organized, which made the whole day stress-free. And the cable car ride was such a fun bonus—it really made the experience feel very “San Francisco.” If you’re visiting and want an easy, fun way to see a lot of the city, I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Chinatown & North Beach\Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History

Kim_N, Mar 2026

Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide

Great afternoon walking around Chinatown and North Beach. Several stops for food that were all delicious. Entertaining stop to sample and learn about tea. The guide knew so much about the buildings, people and history we couldn’t have learned on our own. Be prepared to walk a lot on hilly terrain. The guide was great about frequent stops to tell a story or point something out so I wasn’t to exhausted during the day but am feeling it today!

Napa and Sonoma Small Group Max 12 Wine Tour from San Francisco

taryan_v, Mar 2026

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!

San Francisco Love Tour

Maggie_M, Mar 2026

Fun way to see SanFrancisco!!

Tara was an excellent tour guide! We had a great time and got to learn about SanFran while listening to good music and cuddling with her sweet dog, Rosie, who sat with us! Highly recommend this tour for the first day of your trip to learn about different neighborhoods and get recommendations on local spots to check out!

San Francisco Bay Sunset & City Lights Cruise

Shanna_A, Mar 2026

Joy in the Journey: A Night on the Bay

We really enjoyed the city lights cruise, and seeing the beauty of the Sausalito side of the bay was absolutely breathtaking. I knew we were going to the Golden Gate Bridge, but being so close—right under the bridge and next to Alcatraz—was surreal. The city skyline and port were magical, especially as the lights danced across the water. There was plenty of seating, and I loved being able to move around and experience different views from various parts of the boat. The 2-hour duration was perfect—relaxed, unhurried, and just enough time to soak it all in. We ordered food beforehand, and the drinks and snacks onboard were reasonably priced and convenient. One of my favorite parts of the entire experience was simply being present—watching the sun set behind the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing the city come alive at night. It felt peaceful, almost cinematic, like a moment you don’t want to rush through. Even the kids were in awe, taking it all in with big smiles and curiosity. Chantil the bartender was such a joy—warm, engaging, and her drinks were spot on! She truly added to the overall experience. This cruise struck the perfect balance between peaceful and unforgettable. Whether you’re a local wanting to see San Francisco from a new perspective or visiting for the first time, this is such a unique and rewarding experience. I’d absolutely recommend it—and I’ll definitely be back.

Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Full-Day Tour from San Francisco

Annalisa_T, Mar 2026

Great experience...

Great experience overall—highly recommend this Napa and Sonoma day trip. One small improvement would be to provide each guest with a water bottle and a light snack (like chips), since there’s a few hours before the lunch stop and staying hydrated is especially important with wine tastings. The first stop (Jacuzzi) and the second (Artesa) were definitely the highlights—both were beautiful and offered a great experience. The third stop (Madonna), however, didn’t quite compare and could be skipped in favor of a stronger winery to round out the day.

San Francisco: Golden Gate Bay Cruise (60 Minutes)

Ron_M, Mar 2026

Birthday Cruise on the SF Bay

My family and I celebrated my birthday by taking a 1-hour cruise of the San Francisco Bay with narration about the history of the Golden Gate Bridge, Treasure Island, Angel Island, Alcatraz, and the surrounding areas of Marin, Sausalito, Tiburon and the cities of San Francisco and Oakland. It was a beautiful day and the Red & White Fleet staff were friendly and helpful as one of the members in my family who went on her first ever cruise on the SF Bay was my 90-year old mother-in-law in a wheelchair. She completely enjoyed this excursion and I couldn’t agree with her more! Definitely a must for those who want to take in the beautiful view of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area from a boat.

Alcatraz, Muir Woods, SF city tour, Golden Gate

First off, the communication from the tour agency was exceptional(we had a hiccup with ticket scheduling for our ferry ride to Alcatraz, and the agency handled that issue for us day of). Our tour guide, Per, was very punctual, knowledgeable, and very inviting with our group. Would 10/10 recommend the tour, we hit almost all of San Francisco in 4 hours!!! Great pricing as well!!!
