What are people saying about San Francisco

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

Debra_O, Oct 2026

I have been wanting to...

I have been wanting to see these trees since I was young. Finally made the long trip from Wisconsin and I was not disappointed. I learned many new things and found it very enjoyable. Everyone should have this on their bucket list. Thank you for the wonderful time. Debra

Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco

Amanda_P, Oct 2026

Excellent full day tour to Yosemite

My husband and I took this full day tour to Yosemite from San Francisco on a whim. Very convenient to be picked up/ dropped off at our hotel. Transportation was one of those luxury sprinter vans and the group size was good that it wasn’t more than 15 people. Our guide Trevor was amazing! He is so knowledgeable about everything and told us about the town we passed through the Central Valley Yosemite, fun facts about the climbers. It was amazing we learned a lot. Ample time to snake pit stop for bathroom, snacks, lunch. The timing is long but we were prepared it was going to be a long day. Recommend buying lunch at the first stop instead of eating the food in the cantina at Yosemite to save yourself time to explore more. There’s a couple videos Trevor played on the way going and back to pass the time by which were informative about Yosemite and Rock climbing. It’s a beautiful place we would go on a tour with the company again and if you’re in San Fran definitely recommend Trevor as a guide!!

Alcatraz Inside Tour With Ferry, Free Audio and Night Option

Rick_W, Oct 2026

Alcatraz Review

This was a very nice trip. The tour staff was very kind and easy to speak with. The ferry ride was perfect and quick and the tour of Alcatraz itself was easy to get through. The ticketing instructions weren’t great however. The emails we received instructed us to go to an address on Beach Street beforehand in order to get the actual ticket needed for boarding. We went there as instructed but there was no business there. Meanwhile we received a text message with a QR code and the staff at the boarding area said that was all we needed. So, the ticketing process needs to be communicated better. The trip itself was great though.

Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour

Dawna_S, Oct 2026

Beautiful Muir Woods & Saucelito

This was a great tour of parts of San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Saucelito. It was a rainy and foggy day, but Dustin was a great tour guide for all of it. He showed us the best spots to get pics of the Golden Gate Bridge and the best spots for food and treats in Saucelito. Muir Woods was beautiful even in the rain. Great tour!

Louise_B, Oct 2026

Absolutely fantastic trip...

Absolutely fantastic trip to Muir Woods! The scenery was stunning, and the fresh air among the magnificent redwoods was just what we needed. Brandan, our tour guide, was funny, friendly and really attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We also loved Sausalito, such a beautiful place to explore. A brilliant day out and definitely a highlight of our San Francisco trip. Highly recommend!

Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour from San Francisco w Pickup

Kath1313, Oct 2026

Great way to visit if you have limited time

It is quite a long way to get to Yosemite…about a 5 hour drive hence the length of day, but if you have limited time in the area & want to do Yosemite, it’s a good way to do it. Comfortable coach, knowledgeable & friendly driver and you get two short stop offs for photos before 2 hours to walk around the main area in Yosemite. Frequent stops for food/bathroom breaks.

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

Alexis_C, Oct 2026

10/10! Had the best time!

We went for the day tour for my mom’s 60th and it was perfect. The driver George was hilarious and so informative. All of the wineries were so different from 4 generations family ran to new and modern. The lunch stop in sanoma was also amazing. It’s nice with so many options in Napa to have a driver just drop you off and pick you up at quality wineries. We had a spectacular time!

San Francisco Love Tour

The Levy Family San Francisco Tour

My family including my husband, daughter and 88 year old mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour tour of the San Francisco area. The tour was in an intimate retro VW van. Our tour guide Cyrus was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the San Francisco history and neighborhoods. We highly recommend this tour and tour guide.

San Francisco Bay Cruise

Le_C, Oct 2026

Amazing staff

Our boat cruise experience was amazing! The staff were so helpful, kind and accommodating, especially since we had our elderly mother with us on a wheelchair. They went above and beyond to help wheel her on and off the boat. Making sure she was comfortable and safe throughout the experience. We are truly grateful to the staff for their kindness and excellent service. Highly recommended!

San Francisco City Lights Cruise

Richard_O, Sept 2026

A must do. Plan for the...

A must do. Plan for the weather. Don’t let a little chill keep you from seeing the most beautiful sunset and the coastline….and of course the city lights. Layer up as needed. I would do this again on the next trip. Get your beverage first because the line gets long and you don’t want to miss the view.
