Anniversary Celebration

My husband and I were very concerned about safety because it was very very windy and there were white caps on the water. I spoke with Wolfgang and he assured us that we would be safe. It was a wonderful experience and Wolfgang was very friendly, funny and made us feel very comfortable. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend it. We were thrilled to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary on the boat surrounded by the beauty of San Francisco.

Love Tour

We had such a great experience on the Love Tour! It was so much fun, and we really recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. Our tour guide was amazing and explained everything so well, including the history and interesting facts about the city. We got to see so many of San Francisco’s highlights, made several stops, and even had photos taken for us. It was a great way to see the city and learn about it at the same time. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend this tour to everyone visiting San Francisco! ❤️

You gotta go.

Everything was well organized, easy to navigate on arrival, and the staff and crew were friendly and helpful. The sunset cruise itself is a must do experience if you are visiting San Francisco. We did it on the last night of our stay, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. The whole thing was amazing. Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge so close up as we sailed underneath, the beautiful sunset from just beyond, the charming evening views of Sausalito, the slightly creepy vibe as you float past Alcatraz after dark, the lights of the Oakland Bay Bridge and the stunning nighttime skyline of San Francisco, while music plays on the boat giving you a soundtrack to match the experience all felt a little surreal. There were pauses in the music for facts and history about the various landmarks as we passed which was interesting too. It was very windy at points, and got quite chilly out on the deck, but I would say dress for the weather and catch the views from outside if you can. Come with a full cellphone battery too, you’ll be taking photos throughout guaranteed. There were a variety of snacks and beverages available on board for purchase, which was handy as the cruise is two hours long. Just book it, worth every penny.

Such a fun experience!

This is an amazing tour! Josh is funny, kind, knowledgeable and a fantastic photographer. He and his wife started this company and now have 7 vehicles in the flock. We got to tour with Daisy and had an absolute blast. If you want to see some iconic SF spots in a short amount of time- this is the way to do. Josh also gave great advice and other places to check out after.

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

Kamal_K, Sept 2026

Great Wines, amazing drive- Overall day well spent

3 Wineries they take you are family owned and not famous so don’t be discouraged if you don’t go to Caymus or Josh or other known brands. Tour is worth it Bus is clean / Every seat with a charger and comfortable ride. Wineries do try to push you subtly to buy their bottles understandably - most folks were from out of town so due to travel complexity they didn’t buy. Go with a partner you will love it- wine portions are sample Size offered but you ask more every time, by the end everyone in my bus were dozing on way back Home. Sonoma lunch location is also scenic and you will love the greenery in old town.

City Cruises San Francisco: Premier Brunch Cruise

Richard_A, Sept 2026

A wonderful day on The Bay

The weather was perfect: enough of a breeze to give a little chop in the water and bring out the sailboats. It also kept it cool in spite of having full sun. The entire staff from boarding greeters to table servers or excellent. Friendly, informative, and attentive. The mimosas never stopped, and the buffet selection was excellent. And it was not cramped although full. We will be coming back for another brunch… But next time bring another couple.

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

Kelly_Q, Sept 2026

Breathtaking views

Be prepared for amazing sights and a crazy ride up and down the hills. This was truly a fantastic day. The redwoods are simply impressive and so fun to use your pano setting on your phone for amazing shots. The bus ride is informative on many things about the area. The bus ride is wild as hell taking curves on a road that is barely enough for two cars , let alone a tour bus. Sausalito is cute town with some nice eateries. We took the ferry home for some more photo ops and enjoyed that as well.

Fantastic day exploring Muirwooda and Sanoma valley

It was well executed from pick up to drop off and all the signs seeing in between. Guide Alberto is very humorous and knowledgeable and really helped us make best out of entire day. I also had lunch included which was also quite delicious. It was may be but short on Napa valley and too much focus on Sanoma valley that can be adjusted a bit depending on audience. Overall fantastic experience.

Miriam_B, Aug 2026

Amazing! Would gladly go again!

This was AMAZING! It was a wonderful evening with a beautiful sunset! I loved that there were fuzzy blankets and jackets. Going out it was chilly, but once the sails were up it was not as chilly. The drinks were good. I felt safe and comfortable. Worth every penny! The views were great! Amazing unique views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, San Fran and the Bay Bridge! Already recommending to others and would happily go again!

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.
