My 3 boys (13, 11 and 9yrs) and I had a fantastic day with Alan of Best Bay Area tours. We did a morning tour of Muir Woods and Sausilito and a city tour in the afternoon. Alan has a real passion for San Francisco and surrounds and showed us the best of everything. There was no question he couldn't... More

We did our research on Tripadvisor and chose Alan to do our full day tour. We had an awesome time. He listend to what we wanted to do and then planned a great day accordingly. He has great knowledge of the city and then he took us to a few memorable wineries in Sonoma/Napa valley. We could not have chosen... More

What can I say? The trip to the Napa and Sonoma wine country was one of the nicest days I've ever had. My brother was visiting from Kansas City, Missouri, and he had never been to the famous wine country north of San Francisco. I researched various tour companies, and I feel so lucky that we ended up on Alan's... More

We did the Napa/Sonoma wine tour and it was awesome! Alan was our tour guide and he is also the owner. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable about the area. He was quite patient with us...as we ran a little off schedule. I would recommend this tour And this company to anyone! More

We did a fair amount of research before we chose Best Bay Area Tours. We chose them because they use vans and not large buses. Since they specialize in smaller groups they can provide a much better tour experience. Alan was our guide and he is also the owner. He proved to be knowledgeable in not only the art and... More

Alan really knows and Loves his city of San Francisco. As we were the only people booked on our tour date we were fortunate to have a private tour. Alan showed us all the best bits of the city which gave us ideas of where to spend more time later. He gave us hints and tips for things to do.... More

We took the half day San Francisco city tour and the Muir Woods/Sonoma tour with Best Bay Area Tours. Both were absolutely wonderful. Alan is a very kind, polite, gentleman who readily accommodated all of our requests. These tours were truly the highlight of our San Francisco vacation. Save yourself a lot of time reading all the reviews on TripAdvisor... More

Let me start by saying that we were fortunate to get a personal tour since it is the low season. Also, the weather was gorgeous for us all day. Our first stop was Muir woods ($5/person fee not included in tour price). Our tour guide, Alan, gave us some space as a couple but also rejoined us to point out... More

My friend and I were in San Francisco in early November for the US Half Marathon. Only having a few days, we wanted to do the things that would have the most impact. For us, visiting the Sonoma area was at the top of our list. After reviewing the different tour companies on trip TripAdvisor, we chose Best Bay Area... More

I really wanted to get my money's worth and have a great time on a trip to Muir Woods and Wine Country. Based on the reviews here, I chose Best Bay Area Tours. I'm so glad I did! My boyfriend actually had fun and thought it was our best day in San Francisco. Alan was actually early to our hotel,... More
