Sherri_H, Aug 2026

Muir & Sausalito

It’s short and sweet. Just a bit of the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods & Sausalito. I would say I needed a bit more time in Sausalito/ and it was an option that I declined. The guide was knowledgeable about all the sites and included additional fun or interesting facts.

Bridge to Bridge cruise.

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.

San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Optional Alcatraz Tour

Kaitlyn_V, Aug 2026

Personally, if there’s...

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.

This is a must do!!! ...

This is a must do!!! Trevor was our guide and he was phenomenal! Very informative, made sure everyone had the opportunity to take pictures and everyone had enough time exploring each of our stops. Very long day but was worth it. The hike back from seeing the Redwoods was one mile all uphill but worth seeing the Giants. The park is breathtaking . Favorite part of our trip to San Francisco!

Excellent Tour!

This was an excellent tour. It was timed out well, giving ample time at each stop, and several bathroom breaks. Our driver was Per, who was very interesting--giving information along the way about the area. Loved the music he played in the bus! Muir Woods was my favorite. We chose to take the optional Alcatraz tour. If you have trouble with walking inclines, don't do this one. It is gigantic hills all the way to the top, where Alcatraz is. There is only 1 golf cart to take you up if you need assistance. So the wait is long.

Excellent Tour, Knowledgeable Guide, and Plenty of Time at Every Stop!

This tour was well organized from start to finish, with clear instructions and plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The only minor downside was that the reminder about tipping was mentioned quite frequently, which became a bit repetitive. However, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, this was an excellent tour, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Napa and Sonoma Premium Small Group Wine Tour from San Francisco

Christine_C, Jul 2026

Great intro to area wineries with a few bonus stops!

This was a very good tour for the price. After being picked up at our hotel, we stopped at a lookout point to take photos, then on to the first winery in Sonoma which took about an hour to get there. It was the Jacuzzi family winery which specializes in varietals from Italy and we tried three wines and toured the property and learned about winemaking and the family. Afterward, there was an opportunity to taste olive oil and balsamic vinegars in their shop and purchase products and wine. Then we stopped for lunch in Sonoma. There were lots of options to choose from and with 1.5 hours, plenty of time to eat without feeling rushed. Our guide, Ron, gave excellent suggestions. We chose Della Santina and were happy we did. Then it was back in the van to head to Napa and the second winery which was Artes, a more modern, larger winery with sweeping views of the Napa Valley. The original family that started that winery came from Spain, so many of the varietals were Spanish and it was interesting to see how a large operation and small operation vary along with how the different wines taste -- we tried four wines here. Rick, our guide at Artes, was also terrific. Afterward, we headed back to the city with a stop in Battery Spencer park to take photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a really nice addition as it was incredibly crowded and an uber/taxi to go up there from the hotel would've likely cost as much as the entire tour given how long we sat in traffic. We got great pics! Then we were dropped off at the front door of our hotel in time for dinner.

Incredible Adventure

Glenda went above and beyond for us. She came exactly at 5am and brought us to every incredible area in Yosemite. Even the market before Yosemite was a great choice because we bought breakfast, lunch and snacks from there. After the tour, Glenda took us back to our hotel. How one person could do all this beginning at 5am blows my mind. Thank you so much Glenda!
