As a surprise to my mother for her birthday I booked the winery tour!! She was elated when she saw the convertible vintage fire engine truck, which would have been enough for her. Russell equipped us with fire gear, that was essential to keeping us warm and great props for our photos. Carla was a great singer and engaged us... More

This was a fantastic way to view the Goldan Gate Bridge on a sunny day. Our son is a fire engine enthusiast and really enjoyed wearing the gear. Both the driver and guide were friendly and fun company.

I decided to add this to a surprise birthday weekend for my husband, who is a retired SF firefighter. He's 87 years young and this was a trip back in time with the help of Carla and Russell as our guides! Their enthusiasm, singing and story telling, during our adventure on the Mac, was refreshing! I would recommend this adventure... More

What a trip!! This trip is soooo different to anything we had ever done before. The tour guides are fantastic, giving you a guided tour from where you leave, passing through many of San Fransisco's famous neighbourhoods right acros the bridge & back again. Would defo recommend this trip, very worth while. When the driver blows the siren everyone looks... More

I purchased this excursion for my husband's birthday. We try to find new and different things to do in San Francisco every time we come. We were not disappointed!! It was so much fun to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge on the back of the truck. The singing was a bit "cheesy", but our fellow passengers made this a... More

Something for both kids and big kids. Both driver and guide were friendly. The wearing of a Firemans jacket was optional but felt the part and came in useful as its very blowy on board especially when going over The Golden Gate Bridge. Many photos were taken of us on board The Fire Engine as we took from it. That... More

I am single dad who booked this tour several months in advance to ensure my daughter and I would have a spot on the tour. My first interaction with the sales rep she stated she understood what it was like to be single parent and only charged me one ticket instead of two. The day of the tour we arrived... More

We took the tour 3/2/13 and was the best tour ever!! The best way to get across the Golden Gate Bridge, along with tour through the Presidio and Sausalito our driver and host were amazing and fun. Loved the Sing-a-Longs and the stop to take amazing pictures of the brigde. I Will definantely recommend this tour to family and friends.
