Take this tour!

Our park tour was nothing short of stunning. Derek (our guide) was so knowledgeable and personable that folks were leaving other tour groups to come over and listen in. We saw more than we could have imagined, including climbers on El Cap with the spotting scope he brought along. Highly Recommend!!!

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History

Walt_U, Sept 2026

Do this tour! You won’t be disappointed.

A wonderful walk with great insight into these two neighborhoods. Our guide was energetic and extremely knowledgeable of the area. He had a very good relationship with each of the restaurants we visited. Every dish we tasted was delicious. Dishes were evenly spaced through the four-hour tour. The tea experience was a favorite. We clocked this at just under 4000 steps or about two miles and though hilly, terrain was moderate compared to much of SF.

Super Fun tour and guide! Not to be missed!

LOVED this tour! Tara, our guide, was WONDERFUL in every way possible - ensuring we saw many sites - learned so much about SFO - and her humor kept us laughing throughout the entire tour! She had a great sixties type playlist that was perfect for our very colorful “hippie themed” VW BUS! Tara, has an amazing voice too as she sang a bit of those good ole nostalgic songs! Tara’s small and exceptionally sweet dog, Rosie, accompanied us on our tour - she’s extremely well behaved and has her own little bed - she enhanced our trip too! What a FUN and memorable way to explore SFO - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you for a very fun and informative tour!!

We travelled from NY just to experience SF Bay

We parked in pier 39 parking garage a few hours before our cruise and enjoyed the area. Lots of things for families with pre teen age kiddos to enjoy prior to departure. We boarded our boat and received a wonderful naration of the local area landscape from the bays point of view.

San Francisco Bay Sunset & 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.

San Francisco tour and much more

SF excursions was fantastic. The owner was over the top helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. Life long resident and a pleasure all around. At one point a guest lost their shoe out of the Van and the owner turned the van around and located the shoe. Great guy, great experience.

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

Kamal_K, Sept 2026

Great Wines, amazing drive- Overall day well spent

3 Wineries they take you are family owned and not famous so don’t be discouraged if you don’t go to Caymus or Josh or other known brands. Tour is worth it Bus is clean / Every seat with a charger and comfortable ride. Wineries do try to push you subtly to buy their bottles understandably - most folks were from out of town so due to travel complexity they didn’t buy. Go with a partner you will love it- wine portions are sample Size offered but you ask more every time, by the end everyone in my bus were dozing on way back Home. Sonoma lunch location is also scenic and you will love the greenery in old town.

Boat Tour

Great experience. Price was good. Easy to book and the guides were knowledgable and friendly. Weather was nice and the scenes were amazing. We were able to get some beautiful pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the seals sunbathing on the docks. The historic buildings and shoreline views were also great to see.
