Super Aierial Tour

Guys , We could not have picked a clearer & more spectacularly sunny day on "Boxing Day" in December for our Seaplane Tour . Our pilot (Fred) was a so sociable and informative about the area and also went that 'extra mile' to make our tour so much more enjoyable. We can't say enough about how good the tour was . It was only 20 minutes but was more than enough time to take in all the local San Francisco sights and felt so much longer than just 20 mins ! Many thanks Fred and all the team . Love Johnny & Jenna Bray
