San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Marce_G, May 2026

Beauty at its finest!

The cruise around the bay was great and a wonderful way to take in the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge up close. The staff was friendly and helpful. Bring a jacket! If you forget, they have warm jackets on board for everyone which was a nice touch. I highly recommend this cruise.

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

Anthony_S, May 2026

Thoroughly enjoyable...

Thoroughly enjoyable experience despite the weather being cold and grey. Our Skipper Michael and his first mate Ryan looked after us very well and made sure we were warm enough by providing rugs. They gave us lots of interesting chat and the two hours went very quickly. Only negative being that the advertising only says that boat leaves from Pier 39. Well, Pier 39 is huge and 2-sided and it would have helped greatly to have been told which dock it left from.

10/10 Tour

Excellent tour, lots of fun, definitely worth the early call time (coming from a night owl). We had an amazing time, tasted delicious wines, and appreciated the quiet of an early morning Muir woods stop. Ben was a great host (the title "guide" does no justice!) and appreciated his enthusiasm and personal touch to the day. We met such a fantastic group of people from all around the world, it really elevated our experience. As bay area residents, these areas are fairly familiar to us, but this tour truly expanded our appreciation for these places!

This was my last night of...

This was my last night of my trip, and what a way to close it out. The cruise was a great experience - the captain and crew made sure every seat/view got to see the best pictures and scenery; they also pointed out whales and dolphins on the ride. The ship was clean and welcoming, and I can recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great experience!

San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Optional Alcatraz Tour

Claire_A, Apr 2026

Fantastic tour with Patrick. 5 stars!

We caught the ferry over to Alcatraz in the morning for the first part of our tour. We enjoyed the audio tour. It’s a very interesting place to visit. We met up at 2pm with Patrick for our guided tour around San Francisco and Muir woods. Patrick was very knowledgeable. Full of enthusiasm and great information about everything we saw. We even had a music quiz with chocolate as prizes on the way back which was fun. Would definitely recommend this tour it was great fun.

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

Karla_T, Apr 2026

Great experience for novice wine enthusiasts!

We wanted an introductory winery/vineyard tour experience and this outing delivered. Our driver and guide, Danilo, was very friendly and provided some relevant historical tidbits about San Francisco and Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Our first stop was at the vista point at the Golden Gate Bridge for a photo opportunity. We then visited Roche Winery, B.R. Cohn Winery and Madonna Estate. All different…we received some education and history and details of winemaking and tasted many delicious wines. Altogether, we enjoyed it and met some nice people from around the world. We stopped at Sonoma Plaza and had a wonderful Mexican lunch at La Casa. One suggestion would be to bring your own water and snacks. The tour motor coach left around 9:00 am and returned a little after 6:00 pm.

MELANIE_A, Mar 2026

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.

Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour (Return by Bus or Ferry)

Amanda_B, Mar 2026

Well-paced excursion to key sites around San Francisco

Great excursion that allows for seeing and exploring some key San Francisco area attractions at a comfortable pace. Don was an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend booking the ferry returned from Sausalito for a different view of the harbor, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the piers at Fisherman’s Wharf.

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:-)
