Fantastic Tour
Brian was the best tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. The van was new (or felt like it was new) and we were able to go places a bus couldn’t go. We only had 8 people on our tour so it felt a little more personal. We got to see all the areas of San Francisco that we would never have been able to see on our own, plus with Brian we got history and stories about what we were seeing. Some spots were just a drive by and some spots we stopped. We never felt rushed through any of it. The snacks Brian provided were delicious and on point with the tour. I would 100% recommend this tour.

Yosemite Highlights in a day.
The guide Alberto provided a great experience - he was knowledgeable and personable. The tour was organized and stayed on schedule. It’s an express run through Yosemite where you see the highlights and have enough time to take pics and take in the scenery. Ample stops for restroom and food breaks.

SF Love tour
The tour is a wonderful way to learn about San Francisco. Our guide Tara was incredibly knowledgeable and her genuine love of SF could be felt in all the stories about SF and its colorful characters. The bus was fun and even had skylights to enhance our view. I highly recommend this tour.

Review for Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour
The activities during the tour were great, but the preparation for guest pickup was poor and unorganized. Some guides didn’t check their guest lists and ended up picking up the wrong passengers, leaving the correct ones waiting for the next available van. We were among the passengers scheduled for the 1:00 p.m. pickup with a guide who didn’t have our names on his list. Luckily, that guide was very enthusiastic and entertaining, which helped improve the experience for the rest of the tour.

Lovely day!
The tour was great! We got to see a lot of San Francisco highlights in a short time, and then enjoyed spectacular scenery throughout the day. Our tour guide, Sully, was friendly and insightful. Highly recommend, especially if you don’t have much time in the city.

Best of the “City”
We had a fantastic time on the VW bus tour in San Francisco. The route covered many of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street and the Painted Ladies. The guide was knowledgable, entertaining, and shared interesting stories about the city’s history and culture. I highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative sightseeing experience!

Tour de SF Bay
This is a great way to get an overview of the SF Bay, its history and a real ocean experience. The cruise narration was very informative and engaging, which will give you ideas on where you would like to visit in the Bay Area. The boat goes under and around the Golden Gate Bridge and a close-up cruise-by Alcatraz Island. It can be pretty windy and cool on deck so bring something to cover you up.

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.

Great Sailing Boat Activity
This was the best sailing boat activity. We were so glad that we picked this company. The sailboat was clean, not too many people, and after getting launched we could sit up front. The ride was peaceful, beautiful, we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, the workers were kind and seemed to like their job. There wasn't too much noise which was refreshing - no loud music, etc. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Muir Woods tour
The trip to Muir Woods is very, very winding and if you have motion sickness, take a Dramamine.
Jake was very informative and an excellent driver, but the roads are difficult for someone who gets motion sick.
The tour was amazing and you are in a magical world of redwood trees. We were transfixed by the incredible wonder of it all!

It was a very hot day! I...
It was a very hot day! I wish I would have taken a swim suit.
Tips are expected, I think they should pay their tour guides more since it is not cheap for this tour. It was a great day a long bus ride but so worth it!
You don’t get very long at the park so take the bus!

Great Experience
Great experience! We visited 3 very different wineries: Jacuzzi, Artesa, and Madonna. Jacuzzi is from Italy, Artesa is from Spain, and Madonna is a small local winery. Free time in downtown Sonoma provided lots of options for lunch and ice cream. Our tour guide and driver, Kristin, was excellent and pointed out many highlights along the way, including a stop at a Golden Gate Bridge look out point. Highly recommend when in San Francisco!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Of all the San Francisco bus tours, the “love” tours that zip around the city from the Painted Ladies Victorian homes to the Twin Peaks viewpoint in Volkswagen vans might be the most fun. If these offbeat treks are a bit granola for you, other bus tours are convenient for exploring the city and surrounding areas in comfort. Hop-on hop-off bus tours offer ultimate flexibility and freedom, while guided coach tours travel to Muir Woods and even as far as Yosemite National Park and the Monterey and Carmel area.
