    Trevor was an excellent tour guide.
    This trip was amazing! I highly recommend it! The views are amazing and unforgettable. Trevor took the time to take pics of us at every popular spot!

    I wanted to organise a boat trip for myself and my other half to enjoy the sites around the golden gate bridge and hearing all history about it. Well recommended

    Fantastic day, Roman was amazing and kept us all entertained for the whole day! Plenty of wine to taste and a great stop for lunch (with plenty of options to choose from) - we had Mexican and snuck in a Margarita 😁. Fruit/veg market and final photo opportunity at Golden Gate Bridge were lovely ‘extras’ to end the day. You won’t be disappointed if you book this tour!

    No need to book on trip advisor. This isn't a tour, it's just a ticket out to Alcatraz. Was an interesting visit. Definitely a bit of walking involved so beware.

    What a fun and entertaining time!

    Read the reviews and decided on the "Love Tour" to peek at San Fran, and it was an incredible decision.

    Cyrus, our guide/driver, offered detailed information and engaging insights during the whole adventure. He was interesting and engaging, and our group was in expert hands.

    Our tour guide was great, enjoyed the ride to Muir Woods. The redwoods were spectacular, this was first time we have seen the redwoods in person. Ate at a great little burger joint Sausalito. Would do this again.

    Amazing trip!

    Alcatraz was a return visit, and the only change/missing ingredient was that they didn't point out out Al Capone's cell (#181 on Michigan Avenue).

    Muir Woods was enchanting!

    Robert (our guide/driver) was perfect. He was interesting, funny, and engaging.

    The voyage offered breathtaking views, and the woods were magical. Every where we looked was another potential Kodak moment. Sausalito was gorgeous.

    Our driver, Dustin, was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable and a good driver. Awesome views and plenty of time! Well, 15 more minutes at Muir Woods would've been nice but we made it work.

    The Alcatraz tour was amazing. Ferry Boat was operated well, clean and well organized. Alcatraz is an incredible piece of American history even if not a source of American pride. Audio tour is very well done. Seeing birds as part of island bird sanctuary is also worthwhile. I would rate this as 5 stars. The reason I rated 4 stars is because the bay cruise information was confusing. I don’t think these should be offered in tandem because they really are not. The bay cruise boat is not as well maintained and the windows in cabin were so dirty/filmy it was hard to see through them. There is clear and informative narration but can’t hear it when outside on the deck, but if inside was hard to see. Timing of fitting both tours in was confusing. We did enjoy seeing San Francisco from the water and was a beautiful evening.

    This was one of our favorite tours of our trip to SF! There was so much information and knowledge that our guide provided. The food, of course, was amazing! There was definitely a lot to eat and try. We tried several new things we hadn't before, and learned a lot!

    Brendan was a FABULOUS tour guide! We laughed so hard. Go on this tour!! You will love it! He told us so much stuff about San Francisco. I cannot say enough great things about this tour. Muir Woods is amazing! Alcatraz was super cool. But it was all the in-between stuff he told us and showed us that just set this tour apart. He truly loves his city and he loves sharing it with all us tourists! You will be so glad you took this tour, and you won't truly see San Francisco if you don't do it. You will be amazed by this city and fall in love with it! Bantering back and forth with Brendan was the best part, and all the crazy stuff he knows will blow you away! My friends and I are still talking about how much fun we had and all that we learned. We all loved this tour!!!

    Very interesting. We opted for the walking tour and it was challenging for us but we were able to do it and keep up. It was surprising how any people were on the boats and island.
    The buses were on time, sometimes standing room only.

    What a fantastic tour! Our host, Jim, was VERY knowledgeable and provided us with so many facts and interesting tidbits throughout. With only 8 people in the van, and oldies music in the background, we had a personalized experience. It was fun to see tourists taking quick pictures as we drove by, with at least one of us flashing a peace sign! I highly reccomend this tour (with Jim) and would have taken the wine tour if we had more time in San Francisco.
