Top San Francisco Day Trips - page 7

Great experience with guide Doug. He provided knowledge of the Muir Woods park including information about the various trees then took us through Sausalito for another quick informative tour. He was very helpful with any questions and made the ride enjoyable.

Personally, if there’s one thing I would have done different during my vacation is book this trip first out of all my other SF trips! This is a great general introduction that can help you pick where/what you want to do in SF. Patrick was so knowledgeable as a SF native and multifaceted guide. He can crack a joke, make you feel like a friend, and SING! I only wished he could have guided us into Alcatraz too! He made sure to make his directions clear and was right about most of his recommendations about the city/spots we stopped at. I’d love to erase my memory and experience this with him again.

The staff was very friendly. The bartender made a great bloody Mary to set the mid morning cruise off to great start. The boat was very clean and the trip was great. My wife and kids loved it. The boat leaves right on time so give yourself plenty of time to park and get to the pier.

Sully was fantastic. Full of information and set us up for a great day which kept to time. The transport was clean and comfortable despite some winding roads! My only thought is for those without cash might there be an alternative way to tip? I feel so bad, I thought there’d be another option like the QRcodes other tour guides had.

Anthony was an excellent tour guide. He gave us anecdotes and fun facts about everything we drove by. Also encouraged a social and bonding vibe with our group without making things awkward. He was super knowledgeable about San Francisco, Sausalito, and Sonoma valley. The wineries were such unique choices with great variety and we enjoyed all three so much. Our tour was framed as a kind of past, present, and future of vineyards which was super cool. Tried some of the best wines I ever had, and learned a lot about the process of winemaking and lots about grapes! Anthony also made sure we ate at great restaurants and had really cool experiences when we stopped in downtown Sonoma, and always told us where bathrooms were so we didn’t waste our time searching around. The option to end in Sausalito was sooo fun, a nice dinner and ferry ride to end the day. This tour was full of laughs and great wine! 10/10 recommend.

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.

Our tour guide Derek was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable and stress-free. We learned so much and had a fantastic time. Thank you for making our trip so memorable. Derek also offered to take our photos.Highly recommended!

Was absolutely everything i dreamed it would be. My tour guide Ben was very insightful and knew all the cool picture spots and cool stories. He also was my family’s tour guide for Muir Woods and just was amazing with my loud family. The 3 hours to yourself was nice got to hike some and see the waterfalls and views. Just want too say thank you again too my amazing tour guide he was truly amazing. -Amber
