What are people saying about San Francisco

Jeanne_J, Nov 2026

Amazing tour - Muir woods should not be missed

Alex was a phenomenal guide. Since he was raised in the area he has a great knowledge of the city and lots of amazing stories that he shared. Muir woods is absolutely awesome & we can't wait to go back. The docd was closed so we could not get to Alcatraz on our tour, but they were kind in refunding us the difference.

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

Joann_C, Nov 2026

Amazing day exploring two colorful San Francisco neighborhoods.

My husband and I met Ryan at the gates of Chinatown. We ended up with are own private tour which was pretty amazing. Ryan was so informative about the history of the city and both neighborhoods. He clearly loves San Francisco, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We walked and we ate for four hours, and the day just flew by. Everything was delicious, and my husband even ended up purchasing yeas at the tea house. This tour made me really fall in love with the city. I highly recommend it for anybody spending a few days in San Francisco..

Napa and Sonoma Premium Small Group Wine Tour from San Francisco

Jeanne_J, Nov 2026

Great wine tour!

Our tour guide, Robert, was very energetic and fun. We went to Jacuzzi Winery first and the wine was good & the scenery was beautiful. We felt a bit rushed through the tour, but it gave us more time to stroll through their gorgeous grounds. Sonoma was fabulous with many places to eat or grab another wine tasting. Our second winery was Artesa where the wine was also amazing. Rick, our guide, was knowledgeable and so fun. We also stopped at a breathtaking spot to watch the sunset over the ocean near the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco Love Tour

Cherryll_C, Oct 2026

Great way to see all the best!

We only had a half day in San Francisco at the beginning of a longer trip. We wanted to see as much as possible without the challenge of driving/navigating on our own. This was the perfect solution and we got lucky to have the VW and the guide to ourselves! Cyrus was fantastic and being a lifelong resident with a tiny audience he was able to really “show us the town”!

Unforgettable views under the Golden Gate

This cruise was amazing. The service was great from start to finish, and I loved all the information and history we got along the way. Going right underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and circling around it was just so cool, easily the highlight of my trip. Boarding and getting off were seamless and easy, which made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco!
