Monterey's 17 Mile Drive Guided Electric Bike Tour, 3 hr

Desiree_C, Jun 2026

Beautiful Tour of Pebble Beach

This was such a fun experience. Suzy was a phenomenal guide and we felt safe at all times. My husband and our 2 boys ages 19 and 16 absolutely loved this experience. We have done other e-bike tours in other cities and this was the best one. The views on ride and the ease of the bikes made this a truly wonderful experience. Suzy was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with ease.

San Francisco Excursion: Guided Tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito

Alec_L, Jun 2026

Fun Tour To Muir Woods ans Sausalito!

It was a fun experience with Patrick our guide. He’s knowledgeable about the tour and funny with jokes at the same time. If he could tone down the jokes a bit and not step over our personal boundary more than once, then he’ll make an excellent tour guide.

Anaheim to LA: Hollywood, Beaches & Famous Film Sites tour

Amy_B, Jun 2026

Awesome time!

We had a really good time with Alberto. He was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained. We were only in town (Anehiem) Sunday to Saturday with Disneyland, Disney California Adventures, and Universal Studios Hollywood booked. We didn't really have time to do much of anything else other than this tour and we got to experience LA and it was great! Highly recommend. I would also recommend being early back to the bus as a courtsey to everyone around you. This makes the trip much smoother. Set an alarm clock for when you need to go back to the bus and go. You will get to see more.

Ultimate Lake Tahoe Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour

Bedford_M, Jun 2026

Enjoying Lake Tahoe

We enjoyed the self guided tour around Lake Tahoe. The information was enjoyable and helpful in our explorations. The history provided was very interesting and also informative. We will definitely use another self guided tour in the future and recommend to others.

Thank you

Amazing experience! The wine tasting was excellent, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed learning about the wines and the whole experience felt very welcoming and professional. Our driver Ben was absolutely fantastic — very friendly, professional, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting — we’ll be back!

San Francisco Movie Sights City Tour

Joanne_C, May 2026

Brilliant tour, absolutely loved it.

Fantastic tour! Absolutely loved it. Wylie, our guide, was great, really entertaining and had lots of knowledge and fun facts about the city and the films and TV shows that were filmed there, we even had a bonus location at the end for one party who were fans of a certain show. Three hours felt like 20min! Would definitely recommend for anyone considering this. Really enjoyed it.

Discover Avalon: Catalina Scenic Tour

Lisa_M, Apr 2026

A perfect place to unplug for the day

The bus is beautiful, so if you are into vintage cars or automobiles just in general, you’ll love being on this bus. The tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable about the sites on the tour. He even gave information about the city so if you are looking to move to Avalon, you actually have insider information as to where to start.

Whale Watching Excursion in Dana Point

Janelle_K, Mar 2026

The captain knew where to...

The captain knew where to go and was in contact with other boats about what they were seeing. He was great about telling us what side of the boat we needed to be in. And he said we saw an incredible 7 whales on our trip, as well as several groups of dolphins. They had drinks and made burgers available for purchase.

Snorkeling Adventure in La Jolla

Jay_K, Aug 2025

Great Experience Snorkeling

The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Jane, was knowledgeable and pleasant. We never would have done the cave without her. We felt safe in the water with her too. We had a great time and would not hesitate to book a tour with them again. If I can give one piece of advice to people taking the tour, Bring $5. We wanted to tip her at the end but of course left our money in the car for safety.

Yosemite National Park 2-Day Tour from San Francisco with Lodging

Georgia_A, Jul 2025

A treasured memory!

The experience was nothing short of amazing much better staying the night than opting for a day trip. We stayed in Yosemite valley lodge and loved it. Another on our tour group stayed in the cabins type accomodation and didn’t like it. The small group was great and our guide was informative and helpful and it was really up to us what we did which we liked. We hiked to the top of Yosemite falls on day 2 - we are quite fit but it is a lot of work and about a 7hr return trip.
