What are people saying about San Francisco

Shirley_C, Aug 2026

Such a wonderful experience

We had such a wonderful time on the San Francisco Sunset Cruise! 🌅⛴️ It was fun, relaxing, and the views of the city and the bay were absolutely beautiful. The crew members were very kind, warm, friendly, and always helpful. I brought my 81-year-old mom with me, and seeing how happy and excited she was made the experience even more special. ❤️ We truly enjoyed every moment of the cruise. I would definitely recommend this sunset cruise and would love to come back again—next time with my hubby! 🥰🌉✨

Not renting a car when visiting? No problem...take this tour!

What a great tour! This was the perfect way to visit San Francisco and see the sights especially since we didn't rent a car while visiting. Alex was a perfect tour guide (and photographer). He was super informative and gave excellent tips on where to eat lunch in Saucalito (I wish we could've spent more time there). I highly recommend!

Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco

Rivah_A, Aug 2026

Trevs Troops !

This day was honestly a life-changing experience. We were guided by the amazing Trevor who has an awesome energy and clearly loves what he does and it shows. His facts and pacing of the day shows just how experienced he is and his consideration of the group was incredibly thoughtful and personal. It didn't feel as much like a tour and more like a personal experience and love of Yosemite that he was sharing with us. Genuinely could not be more happy with how this day went, loved every moment and every question I had, the Great Trev had an answer for it. Honestly the care and consideration that he put into this tour and presumably every tour was unparalleled and made the experience something completely special. It wasnt just some beautiful mountains and a cool valley, he was able to tell us the history and facts surrounding the ground we stood on in a way that provoked our awe real time. He explained ideas and facets surrounding the mountains I had never even consifered and had so much information to give he could've kept us entertained forever. I genuinely want to become a rock climber thanks to today. I've never spent so much on a tour ( also having to pay extra fees cause of new laws - yay international traveller! ) but despite my doubts, every single cent was completely worth it for the journey we went on today. Trevor is such a genuine person that we need more of in this world! Best Bay Tours is onto something great here, keep it up! TTF!!!! 🫡 ( You had to be there )

Adolfo made the whole...

Adolfo made the whole experience unforgettable. My family was there celebrating my nieces 21st and we decided to take this tour. He was fun, informative and kept us entertained. The tour was good, we could have left the 3rd winery out as it wasn’t that great but the whole experience was great!

Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour

Shona_S, Aug 2026

Great first visit experience

Great trip. Def could go back for more time in Muir Woods, but great to experience. Sausalito was very nice as well. Perhaps if there was an option for people who didn’t plan to do Alcatraz, that would’ve been nice so there could have been an option to stay longer in Muir Woods. Tour guide, Dustin was great.

Mary_G, Aug 2026

Excellent first day in San Francisco.

Very interesting tour. Our guide had grown up in San Francisco and knew all the little details that make the city interesting. He was great driver and took the right amount of stops for bathroom breaks and photos. Muir Woods has to be one of my favorite places on Earth. Absolutely gorgeous. My family always says that it reminds them of Star Wars with the Ewoks. Imagine our joy when we found out the original inhabitants were the Mewoks. Kevin was an amazing tour guide. I would make this the first thing you do in San Francisco. We also did the trip to Alcatraz in the afternoon. It felt like a very full and eventful day. We slept well that night.

Napa and Sonoma Premium Small Group Wine Tour from San Francisco

cynthia_l, Aug 2026

Fantastic tour given by Robert of Napa/Sonoma/San Fran

We were a group of ten . Robert our tour guide / driver arrived on time and gave us a fabulous tour. We had great stops with panoramic views of San Fran skyline , Golden Gate Bridge . We went to the first winery “ Jacuzzi “. Then on to Sonoma square for lunch ( we had made reservation ahead ) Robert was able to drop us off at the restaurant , which was so convenient . He even took 2 people from the group who were not dining with us to another location for their lunch. The 2nd winery was “ Artesa” . We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. To top the whole day off Robert went above and beyond to drop us at another location from our pick up point as we had dinner reservations at Pier 39 . Overall the experience we had with Robert from beginning to end was truly a fantastic day !

Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour from San Francisco w Pickup

Jennifer_B, Aug 2026

A fantastic trip to Yosemite

This was a wonderful trip from San Francisco. It was great that the pick up was right outside our hotel. The tour guide (Randall) and bus driver (Coney) were both fantastic. The tour guide was training the bus driver so we had two great men on our trip. The stop at the Safeway for potty and picking up food was wonderful. You can grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside and then grab some snacks and lunch for later in the day. I highly recommend getting lunch here because if you wait to grab lunch in Yosemite, you won't have very much time to look around the park. The lodge was very busy and I was glad we ate our lunch on the bus while driving. We stopped at a few places to get beautiful views of Half Dome and El Capitan. The views of the park are stunning. The falls weren't really "falling" as it was August and mostly dry. Spring and early summer you can see them better according to our guide. The Tuolumne Sequoia Forest was beautiful but beware - it is about a mile down to see the trees. The walk down wasn't bad, but coming back is not for the faint at heart. It will take twice as long (longer if you have asthma or bad knees). I am glad I did it, but I heard the Muir Woods hike was much easier. I am so glad we did this tour. It was a very long day on a bus, but you get to sit back and view the beautiful scenery as you drive by. The guide tells you about the areas as you travel by and gives you a good history of the area.

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

Kimberly_B, Jul 2026

Nice Tour Package

This was a great tour. I didn’t expect the driver to tell us so much about the area and that was a pleasant surprise. We should have booked this earlier in our trip to learn about the area. We had a nice walk in the woods, did a little shopping in Sausalito and had a quick bite to eat there before returning to San Francisco.

Alcatraz Inside Cruise With Free Audio and Night Option

Tiffany_R, Jul 2026

Insiders experience on going to Alcatraz Island

Travelers must redeem their tickets prior to the start of the tour so allot plenty of time for get the tickets and show up 30 minutes before the ferry leaves. The ferry has indoor and outdoor options so everyone can find a place that works for them. Restrooms and snacks are available on the pier, boat, and restrooms are also available on Alcatraz Island. Be prepared to walk up somewhat steep inclines once on the island. There are alternatives for those that truly need assistance. The narrated tour was fabulous along with the view of the cells and various rooms. Visitors are transported back in time to really imagine what it was like at Alcatraz. Definitely recommend this tour! Last thing, dress in layers because it gets really windy on the island. Enjoy!!
