This tour was wonderful! Even though recent shutdowns left us unable to visit the woods, the owner and guide were amazing and worked with us to change our itinerary and we had a blast! The open air jeep was fun and they even provided blankets if we got chilled! Such a great time I would book again!

This was a very fun ride with a fun loving and charismatic guide. The business is a small local business in the arts district. A great short trip

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks so much for the awesome review! “Best part of our vacation” is the kind of thing that makes our whole team do a little happy dance in the garage. We’re thrilled JoJo helped make your private San Francisco Jeep tour such a standout experience. He has a talent for turning a custom San Francisco city tour into something that feels less like sightseeing and more like exploring the city with a very knowledgeable (and slightly over-caffeinated) local friend. Thanks again for riding with San Francisco Private Group Jeep Tours—we hope to see you back next time for round two of the city’s hills, views, and hidden gems!

Wonderful tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks so much, Jessica! We’re so glad you still had a blast despite the unexpected Muir Woods closure. Our team always aims to keep things fun, flexible, and unforgettable—rain or shine, redwoods or detours! 😄 The open-air Jeep definitely helps. We’d love to welcome you back for the full Muir Woods experience next time! 🚙🌉🌲

Thanks, Heather! We love hearing that your whole crew—from age 4 to 80—had a great time! That’s what our private tours are all about: making it fun and easy for everyone to explore the best of the Bay. Bill’s the best, right? We’ll make sure he gets extra kudos! Come back anytime—SF (and the redwoods) will be waiting

Bill was an amazing tour guide and went the extra mile. We plan on returning with the kids. Woods was spectacular overall lots of fun in the jeep.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks, Armando! So glad you had an amazing time with Bill—he’s known for going the extra mile (literally and figuratively). The redwoods never disappoint, and cruising in the Jeep just makes it extra fun. We can’t wait to welcome you back with the kids—SF and Muir Woods round two, here we come!

Adventures by the bay

Layla_G, Jan 2025
Joe Joe was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and was very accommodating. We had a great time and ended up adding time to our tour because we didn’t want it to end. This tour was perfect for a small group and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks, Layla! We love that you didn’t want the tour to end—music to our ears! Joe Joe always brings the perfect blend of fun, facts, and flexibility, and we’re so glad he made your Bay Area adventure unforgettable. Adding extra time? That’s the ultimate compliment! Thanks for the amazing recommendation—we’ll be ready whenever your crew is up for round two!

Private tour of Muir Forrest

The tours was great through Muir Forrest and Joe took us site seeing afterwards. Private tour was great.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks so much, Heather! We're glad you had a great time exploring the peaceful beauty of Muir Woods—and that Joe made the rest of your private tour just as memorable! There’s nothing like cruising from redwoods to city sights in your own Jeep adventure. Come back anytime for more exploring—Joe’s always ready to roll!

Excellent

We enjoyed the Redwood forest! Crossing the Gokden Gate bridge. It was a very good experience. We would definitely book again!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks, Richard! We’re so glad you had a great time exploring the redwoods and cruising across the Golden Gate Bridge—two SF must-dos that never get old! We’d love to have you back anytime for round two. Thanks for the kind words and see you on your next adventure!

Loved it!

Kimberly_M, Sep 2024
Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge was exhilarating in the open Jeep! And the views looking back toward the city were spectacular. Our guide told interesting stories about the city’s history and the construction of the bridge. We enjoyed our time in Muir Woods also. It is so peaceful there, such a nice break from the city. We took a leisurely walk and sat on a bench taking in the natural beauty.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks so much, Kimberly! We’re thrilled you loved your Jeep adventure—there’s nothing quite like cruising over the Golden Gate with the wind in your hair and that skyline view behind you! We’re glad you enjoyed the stories, the sights, and the peaceful escape into Muir Woods. It really is the perfect balance of city energy and redwood serenity. Thanks for the 5 stars—we’d love to show you even more next time!

Muir Woods is a must do!

Christine_S, Jul 2024
Kat was awesome! She was full of information and fun facts! Love that it was a private tour for just the two of us. She curtailed the tour to what we had seen and not seen. Drove us by a few extra sights since we had extra time! Muir Woods did not disappoint. It was unbelievable!

Highly recommended !

Ellen_S, Jun 2024
The constant beauty of our surroundings nearly paid for itself but riding in a jeep and having enjoyable personal interaction with Jo Jo ( our driver and tour guide ) made the whole experience much better.
