Love Tour 2026

It will be an incredible 2 hour journey to all the highlights in the city. Dave was knowledgeable and funny guide. The VW bus decked out in hippie style. We had so much fun and learned about the city at the same time. Every stop drew a crowd as people wanted picture. It was the highlight of our trip!

Fantastic Tour!

Wonderful tour! Our driver was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about all the locations he took us to. The hike along the path in Muir Woods was beautiful. We added on the Alcatraz tour, which was wonderful as well. I highly recommend this tour!

San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Kristy_W, Jun 2026

This experience is an exciting one you will always remember!

From check in to intros around the catamaran, to hoisting the flag, to providing snacks and friendly conversation on the excursion, the crew was AMAZING. Everyone was super friendly and the vibe was like having a get-together with friends! I was traveling alone but didn't feel alone. Other passengers were friendly and it was a one-of-a-kind experience. I highly recommend this for the best view of the bay, the rolling fog, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city at night from the water. I took the sundown cruise starting at 7pm and the excursion was just about 2 hours long. Wear a warm windbreaker, because it is definitely windy and chilly out on the water, and there can be water spray up in front on the deck, but it's so much fun. There are tables and seating inside for passengers who don't wish to expose themselves to the elements, but the view is spectacular and I highly recommend dressing for cold/wet temps and enjoying this thrilling adventure. The crew was so nice, they were great hosts, even giving us chocolates as we left! Do something special for yourself, your family/friends and book passage on this catamaran.

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

Annual Cousin’s Girl Trip 2026

We had an amazing Napa and Sonoma wine tour visiting B.R. Cohn, Roche, and Madonna Estates. Each winery offered a unique experience, beautiful views, and excellent wines. A special thank you to our driver, Danilo, who was friendly, accommodating, informative, and had a great sense of humor. His lunch recommendation was spot on, and he even made a stop so we could take pictures of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Danilo truly helped make this a memorable day. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Napa and Sonoma!

San Francisco Bay Sunset & City Lights Cruise

Jacqueline_H, Jun 2026

Recommended, one of the highlights of our (too) short stay in SF.

We thoroughly enjoyed this boat tour/cruise. It takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge, along the coast to Sausolito, around Alacatraz Island, over to the Oakland Bay Bridge and back along the city coast. There is plenty of space on board, a good selection of drinks (not overly expensive) and an interesting narration of the points of interest.

San Francisco: Golden Gate Bay Cruise (60 Minutes)

Jason_J, May 2026

An Unforgettable Way to Experience the Bay!

This cruise was good value. The views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz were stunning. The highlight of the trip was sailing all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge and passing directly beneath it. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time local, this is a must-do. Highly recommend to anyone looking to see the best of San Francisco from the water!

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

Deb_L, May 2026

Foggy sunset sail cruise

Great experience. Just know for seniors, there is limited "normal" seating. Captain Dave was awesome, making sure we, as seniors, had the only bench seating. Dave and Mike were very friendly and open to questions. This is not a "guided" tour, so if you want to know something, ask! It was cold, windy and a little choppy, and we didn't see a sunset, but motored under the GG Bridge, then sailed back! Very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Weekend Adventure

A relaxing & fun day! You have the option to stay indoors or go out on the decks. People start getting more relaxed after a few mimosas, and it makes it more fun for everyone. Music was great service was even better. I would suggest that you turn the volume down on the microphone in music as it was in a dangerous decibel.

1.5-Hour San Francisco Bay Sailing Tour

Clifford_E, Oct 2025

The tour was exactly what...

The tour was exactly what was presented on the website. We did not expect a tour guide but we did get some very informative sailors. The captain and first mate were exceptional and gave a wonderful trip around the bay. Two things they couldn’t control were the low winds and flies:-)
