Gorgeous views!!!
Plenty of seating onboard, and great views! The only downside was some families with kids that let them run around some and be noisy, where it was hard to hear the tour narration. I get that everyone needs freedom to enjoy, I just wish some parents would be more respectful of others on the tour.

Very friendly and...
Very friendly and knowledgeable crew. Highly entertaining. They keep a very clean ship that has a bathroom on board. This company also sells Dramamine at their shop that can be taken before you get on board. Their shop also sells blankets that are designed to keep you dry in case the weather isn’t great. We would definitely do it again!

A Whale of a good time!
Great experience for all . Saw so many whales, dolphins, seals, etc. Naturalist and Captain were so knowledgeable. 3 hours went flying by as there was so much to see. The boat was comfortable , plenty of room to sit and walk around in decks. Well maintained vessel. Lots of options to book with other companies, but this was by far the best!

A Must-Do for Film Buffs & Fans of SF!
We had such a great experience on this San Francisco movie tour this past weekend! Even as locals, Richard and I got to see the city in a completely different light.
The tour was engaging, fun, and full of surprises—we learned so much about San Francisco’s rich film history and saw familiar places with a whole new perspective. It really made us appreciate the city in a deeper way.
I’d highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals. It’s a unique and memorable way to explore San Francisco and discover just how many iconic movies have been filmed here!

Do NOT miss this opportunity
The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. I'm not techy. I couldn't get the GPS audio to work. I swung back around to request help. They were extremely apologetic and quickly identified and fixed the issue. The issue was I'm an idiot and didn't know where the volume toggle was located.
I highly recommend the 3 or 4 hour package. It takes you all over the City. It was fun, exciting, and absolutely worth it.

A must tour when visiting the Bay
This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

Mosts of the Ghosts
Great little experience. It was just me, the host and the ghosts, and I'm glad the excursion wasn't cancelled because it was the last night of my trip.
It does include *hills* like only San Francisco can offer so be wary if you're daunted by a hike.
That being said, the host took her time and let me asthmatically wheeze up the hill which I was grateful for.
The stories and history were fun and there were plenty of photo worthy stops.
Also a fair amount of SFs walking their dogs so puppy loving along with spooky vibes 😍

The highlight of our visit to San Francisco!!!
Wonderful experience from the moment we started the tour! Randy was the ultimate tour guide, very informative and personable! He went above and beyond in making sure that our experience was memorable! It will definitely be a highlight of our visit to SF for many years! We will definitely visit the city again and book another tour, hoping with Randy as our guide!

What a Beautiful Way to See Lake Tahoe!
We had a wonderful sail with Justin and his crew. We wanted to do something special for our anniversary, and this sailing excursion did not disappoint! The views are breathtaking and Justin and crew were informative, friendly, and fun to “hang” with. If I had one little nitpick to mention, it is that I had a question about the ability to do gratuities via Venmo, so I texted and called the number provided to ask. Unfortunately I never received an answer. While my question was not super important, if it had been, the lack of response before the tour would have been frustrating. All that said, however, the experience of the sail was so fun and everyone should see Lake Tahoe this way!

Funn day
Know how to back peddle! We had so much fun. Took my friend there for her birthday yesterday. We loved it. She is going to bring her 2 grandkids. Would definitely do it again. Thank you and to Steven for helping to get us moving again and for the tow. Barbara n Jodie

Scenic cruise of San Fran Bay
Stunning views, 90 mins about right duration, well organised, informative. Good way of seeing many landmarks. Saw a dolphin and some seals. Didn't try snacks/drinks and info was all pre-recorded. We had plenty of space on the top floor deck outside, it wasn't busy that day.

Amazing and Romantic Memories
Our daughter bought us the tickets and reserved the ride for us. We were so excited about it this is an amazing experience we really love it and enjoyed it. Very romantic and my husband was very impressed and wants us to come again. We did great for our first time. We really recommend it.
