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.

Thank you Sully!

Sully was fantastic. Full of information and set us up for a great day which kept to time. The transport was clean and comfortable despite some winding roads! My only thought is for those without cash might there be an alternative way to tip? I feel so bad, I thought there’d be another option like the QRcodes other tour guides had.

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!

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

Dalia_H, Aug 2026

Great wine tour!!

Danny was our tour guide and he was great. First stop was the Golden Gate Bridge then we started on our adventure to the wineries. Our first winery was Jacuzzi in Sanoma. This winery is more of a traditional looking winery and is beautiful. The views from here are beautiful. The next winery was Artesa in Napa and Rick was our guide here. He is funny and made the tour a great experience. This winery is more of a modern looking winery and is also beautiful. The views from here are beautiful as well. Next we went to Sanoma for lunch. This place is nice but it was hot and we didn’t walk around much after eating. Our final winery was Madonna in Napa. All the wine tasting were great but Madonna was my favorite as they have a sweet wine Muscat. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour given by Robert of Napa/Sonoma/San Fran

We were a group of ten . Robert our tour guide / driver arrived on time and gave us a fabulous tour. We had great stops with panoramic views of San Fran skyline , Golden Gate Bridge . We went to the first winery “ Jacuzzi “. Then on to Sonoma square for lunch ( we had made reservation ahead ) Robert was able to drop us off at the restaurant , which was so convenient . He even took 2 people from the group who were not dining with us to another location for their lunch. The 2nd winery was “ Artesa” . We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. To top the whole day off Robert went above and beyond to drop us at another location from our pick up point as we had dinner reservations at Pier 39 . Overall the experience we had with Robert from beginning to end was truly a fantastic day !

Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour from San Francisco w Pickup

Jennifer_B, Aug 2026

A fantastic trip to Yosemite

This was a wonderful trip from San Francisco. It was great that the pick up was right outside our hotel. The tour guide (Randall) and bus driver (Coney) were both fantastic. The tour guide was training the bus driver so we had two great men on our trip. The stop at the Safeway for potty and picking up food was wonderful. You can grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside and then grab some snacks and lunch for later in the day. I highly recommend getting lunch here because if you wait to grab lunch in Yosemite, you won't have very much time to look around the park. The lodge was very busy and I was glad we ate our lunch on the bus while driving. We stopped at a few places to get beautiful views of Half Dome and El Capitan. The views of the park are stunning. The falls weren't really "falling" as it was August and mostly dry. Spring and early summer you can see them better according to our guide. The Tuolumne Sequoia Forest was beautiful but beware - it is about a mile down to see the trees. The walk down wasn't bad, but coming back is not for the faint at heart. It will take twice as long (longer if you have asthma or bad knees). I am glad I did it, but I heard the Muir Woods hike was much easier. I am so glad we did this tour. It was a very long day on a bus, but you get to sit back and view the beautiful scenery as you drive by. The guide tells you about the areas as you travel by and gives you a good history of the area.

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.

Alcatraz Inside Cruise With Free Audio and Night Option

Tiffany_R, Jul 2026

Insiders experience on going to Alcatraz Island

Travelers must redeem their tickets prior to the start of the tour so allot plenty of time for get the tickets and show up 30 minutes before the ferry leaves. The ferry has indoor and outdoor options so everyone can find a place that works for them. Restrooms and snacks are available on the pier, boat, and restrooms are also available on Alcatraz Island. Be prepared to walk up somewhat steep inclines once on the island. There are alternatives for those that truly need assistance. The narrated tour was fabulous along with the view of the cells and various rooms. Visitors are transported back in time to really imagine what it was like at Alcatraz. Definitely recommend this tour! Last thing, dress in layers because it gets really windy on the island. Enjoy!!
