What are people saying about San Francisco

San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Optional Alcatraz Tour

Gretchen_F, Oct 2026

A great overview of the San Francisco area

I had a wonderful time on this tour on September 14th. I was assigned a morning tour at Alcatraz, and I’m glad I started off there because its a “heavy” place mentally but I learned so much about the history of the island and the ongoing issues with the US prison system. Then I had a break to get some lunch before meeting up with the tour guide at Fisherman’s Wharf. The van ride was nice and we had a chance to take photos with the Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods was amazing. I did the full 2 mile loop which they advertise as taking 1.5 hours, and even though I’m not in good shape I am a fast walker and I completed it in a little under an hour (there are some stairs in the middle that allowed me down). The driving tour with stop at Palace of Fine Arts and cruising through China Town and Little Italy was cool.

Excellent Value and a perfect way to get a tast of San Francisco

Excellent tour. The pacing is perfect and the information shared about the city is varied and interesting (history, pop culture, personal anecdotes, etc.). Driving through the city gives you a taste of its history and various areas, which can set you up for longer visits on your own. The Muir woods are beautiful and whimsical. Saulsalito was also a nice little spot for lunch. The tour ends by dropping off near the Alcatraz tour desk, which is operated by a separate company that takes you on a boat over to the island. There you will find national park employees to help you explore the island. This tour is a great value. Pick up and drop off is nice and easy. Pick up location was a peaceful 20 minute walk from the cruise pier for us. Definitely take this tour if you are visiting San Francisco.

Groovy Fun!

A fun and easy way to get a fabulous overview of San Francisco. The van is very comfortable and safe. Our tour guide Cyrus was funny and knowledgeable. He took great pictures for all of us. The group is small enough so you don’t feel overwhelmed, but it was really nice to be with other people since I was traveling by myself. I had a wonderful experience!

My mom and I have done...

My mom and I have done this same tour for 3 years and we love it! They change up the wineries so it’s always fun. This tour is a great value because they pick you up in SF, take you to all the wineries, you pay no tasting fees and they bring you back to SF. Just have to worry about lunch which they drop you at Sonoma square for. We love Danny the tour guide! He is so nice and funny and a wonderful guide.

Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco

Rebecca_J, Sept 2026

Trip review

Had a great day exploring Yosemite with our tour guide Kurt who was very knowledgeable on the area. The initial drive to the park was pretty long but we made a pit stop half way for breakfast, coffee and snacks. On the second half of the journey Kurt played a documentary about the rock climbing revolution at Yosemite which helped pass the time. We then got to spot some rock climbers later in the day! The park itself was breathtaking, with tunnel view being a personal favourite. Unfortunately there was no/little water at the falls we visited, but that’s a seasonal thing and something I hadn’t considered when initially planning the trip. Overall this tour is a great way to see most of the Yosemite highlights in a short space of time and I would highly recommend it - and Kurt!

Great way to see the park while on a San Francisco trip

It’s a long day with a lot of driving, but well worth it. The views are spectacular and iconic and taking advantage of a tour guide who knows the history and best places to stop for views made it so much easier than trying to rent a car and figure it all out myself. Our guide Lana was well-informed, easy going, and made sure everyone on the tour had what they needed for a great day.

Unique way to see San Francisco

Unique way to see San Francisco. If you are coming from a country that drives on the other side of the road you're in for a treat. Our GPS was playing up and we missed Lombard Street but they were more than happy for us to go back out for free to drive down it. We did it on a Saturday and the traffic was pretty bad. 3 hours was tight and we couldn't see the painted ladies in our allotted time.

Our driver (Dominic) was extremely knowledgeable and was very attentive during our exploration of the various San Francisco neighborhoods which included an unexpected ride down the famous Lombard Street! He even offered to be our photographer so we could all be in the photos. This was a truly memorable day for us all. Would highly recommend this tour! Nancy (Ohio)

San Francisco Golden Gate Bay Cruise

Great time, perfect for restless kids,windy take coat

Goes fast but just the right time with restless kids. Took my 13&16yr old. Three level boat. Top windy but lots of benches to sit (many non English speaking people tried to reserve a few benches for themselves. We just sat down anyhow and ignored the hand waves). But honestly it doesn’t matter because once the boat starts moving everyone stands and looks around and seats open up. They only sell beer, white claw, pop, and snacks only on the bottom level. The white claws they offered were THE BIG ones. $10. All the levels have bench seats with backs to them. The bottom level and second level is all enclosed seating. The speaking of the history part is all automated by speakers. I found it to be very clear but harder to hear on top deck due to wind. Temp today Sept 1, was 70 ,and my teen boys were chilly up top but I liked it. Most people brought light jackets.The beginning and end was windy but near Alcatraz it got substantially less windy probably due to the terrain. The Boat gets very close to Alcatraz which was cool and made for good pics. At the end I didn’t see anyone taking tips or a tip jar out for tips which was also VERY nice because this town is tip happy. It’s WILD. I would do it again. Great time. We did the 530p tour which made it nice for pics as the sun was coming down

San Francisco Bay Sailing Cruise

Ciera_D, Aug 2026

Incredible experience & sail!!!

What an incredible experience from start to finish! Crew and boat were amazing! Equipped with knowledge and jackets if we got chilly during the ride + a bar (bonus!!). We actually got to participate in raising the sail which was a bucket list activity for me! Pictures/sights & views were unreal- SF cityscape, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz & wildlife!
