What are people saying about San Francisco

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

Deb_L, May 2026

Foggy sunset sail cruise

Great experience. Just know for seniors, there is limited "normal" seating. Captain Dave was awesome, making sure we, as seniors, had the only bench seating. Dave and Mike were very friendly and open to questions. This is not a "guided" tour, so if you want to know something, ask! It was cold, windy and a little choppy, and we didn't see a sunset, but motored under the GG Bridge, then sailed back! Very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely experience - the tour guide was so knowledgeable and excited to share, clearly passionate about the subject of wine and sharing his expertise about the area! Each vineyard was beautiful and a fantastic experience. Research where to eat in Sonoma beforehand - not all the restaurants were great. Otherwise a lovely experience!

San Francisco Super Saver: Muir Woods & Wine Country w/ optional Gourmet Lunch

Melanie_D, May 2026

The Highlight of Our Vacation!

We had an absolutely amazing time on our Friday Muir Woods and winery tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Dustin! From start to finish, he was incredibly informative, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable about the area. He shared so many interesting facts about the redwoods, the history of the region, and the wineries we visited, which made the entire experience feel special and memorable. Dustin kept the day running smoothly while still making it relaxed and fun. He answered every question with enthusiasm and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the tour. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in how much effort he puts into making the day enjoyable for everyone. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’re so grateful we had Dustin as our guide. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Beauty at its finest!

The cruise around the bay was great and a wonderful way to take in the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge up close. The staff was friendly and helpful. Bring a jacket! If you forget, they have warm jackets on board for everyone which was a nice touch. I highly recommend this cruise.

Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry)

Nancy_V, Apr 2026

Fun and easy to navigate tour

Our driver was fun and knowledgeable in sharing information pertinent to the tour. We especially appreciated his genuine interest in, and enthusiasm for preserving both the history of the area and in the fate of the trees. He was very clear on when things needed to happen.

Had a great time..,

This was a great time. Patrick was our tour guide and he was super knowledgeable and made the tour upbeat and fun. Along with the knowledge, he also played “music trivia” on the way back from Muir Woods. He kept everyone engaged and I would recommend this tour (especially if you can get Patrick as your tour guide)

This was my last night of...

This was my last night of my trip, and what a way to close it out. The cruise was a great experience - the captain and crew made sure every seat/view got to see the best pictures and scenery; they also pointed out whales and dolphins on the ride. The ship was clean and welcoming, and I can recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great experience!

City Cruises San Francisco: Premier Brunch Cruise

MELANIE_A, Mar 2026

Weekend Adventure

A relaxing & fun day! You have the option to stay indoors or go out on the decks. People start getting more relaxed after a few mimosas, and it makes it more fun for everyone. Music was great service was even better. I would suggest that you turn the volume down on the microphone in music as it was in a dangerous decibel.

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.

The tour was exactly what...

The tour was exactly what was presented on the website. We did not expect a tour guide but we did get some very informative sailors. The captain and first mate were exceptional and gave a wonderful trip around the bay. Two things they couldn’t control were the low winds and flies:-)
