About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dare2bmare0 contributionsAmazing experienceThe trip was amazing. Vlad gave more information than I’d had on 2 previous tours. He played photographer for me since I traveled solo. The Muir Woods and Sausalito are a must see. The stop at Golden Gate Bridge had gorgeous views. The private pickups and drop off at hotel made trip even better. I highly recommend.Written December 7, 2024
- Sightsee8181350 contributionsBeautiful Muir Woods and SausalitoGreat tour! Vlad was fantastic! Loved the relaxed pace. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Would definitely recommend any tour.Written December 5, 2024
- ricklira0070 contributionsConcise SFO TourRandy was a great guide and professional. We visited most of the landmark places with some stops. Nice Tour. Highly recommended.Written December 4, 2024
- Brenda W0 contributionsEnlightening and fun tourWe were hoping to find a tour of the city to learn a little about San Francisco. The tour was just the perfect amount of time. We began at 2pm and ended about 6. The city emits kindness. Our tour guide was Ulrich originally from Germany. He spoke clearly and loud enough for everyone to hear. Our group was a nice size of 11. Ulrich shared so many interesting tidbits about the city and its rich history. We got out several times to take pictures and walk about for a short time. He gave us picture tips and pointed out landmarks as w e drove all over the city. We got to see all the different cultural villages in San Francisco. He even gave us recommendations of places to visit and restaurants to go to that served specialty dishes we were interested in. We are so glad we went on the tour. It was well worth the money and our limited amount of time we had available.Written November 17, 2024
- stacyhsat0 contributionsHighly recommended!Randy picked us up at our hotel. He took us to all the best sites and provided interesting history and trivia. We stopped at two locations for photo opps. It was a small group in a minivan, so we were able to go in more places than the larger buses could go. Randy was friendly and professional. I highly recommend the trip!Written November 12, 2024
- edithsM1723VN0 contributionsGreat trip to the Muir woods and SausalitoThis excursion was wonderful, amazing and very inspiring. Mike, our guide was handing out lots of information throughout our trip to the Muir woods and Sausalito. The organization was perfect, the bus clean and comfortable & the group of 8 very sympatric. I chose this offer as there is a times lot of 1 hour self-touring in Sausalito before heading back. I really recommend this offer!Written November 8, 2024
- jerryc9880 contributionsWorth the ride to the woods.A breath-taking park, with beautiful trees and paths to hike. We spent an hour and a half there and it was great. The weather was beautiful and the gorgeous old trees captivating. Our guide was nice enough, giving you a talk along on the ride.Written October 21, 2024
- Melinda B0 contributionsToursWe had an amazing time out your guide made sure to talk to us all. Make sure we knew about all the most do's in the area. Very interesting.Written October 16, 2024
- peggys8750 contributionsDon’t sign up for Taste of San Francisco tours!(1) Michael tried his best to be informative, but some of the information he gave, although accurate, was only half the story. Sticking to facts and less opinions, especially political ones, would be best. (2) The van’s brakes made a lot of noise…there was no waste receptacle to throw trash in on the van (Michael sent me to trash receptacle 1/4 block away). (3) one hour in Sausalito for shopping and a bite to eat was not enough. Most tours have 1.5 to 2 hours. Michael said he had an afternoon tour to do so there wasn’t enough time for us. We felt rushed and it was hectic…. This was not a premier tour. (4). Paid $400 for my friend and I, both seniors, which was far too expensive, especially when we found out we would have to find our own way back to the hotel after Alcatraz, because of Michael’s schedule. Unbelievable! He dropped us off at Alcatraz too late to catch our ferry so we had to wait an hour+. This 1/2 day tour was very pricy ($400) for what we got. I still think we need a refund of $100 because the cost of getting into Alcatraz and Muir Woods is $130 for 2 seniors. Other tours offer more for less.Written October 15, 2024
- Colleen_fish0 contributionsExcellent tourMichael was out tour guide from our hotel to Muir Woods and Sausalito. He was excellent. He gave us as much information as possible throughout our trip. The ride was smooth and picturesque. We opted to stay in Sausalito for the day and rode the ferry back. I highly recommend doing that to gain another view of the bridge. We were suprised to learn that the air show was going on as well, so we were treated with extra thrills on the way back. We chose to stay at Hotel Zeppelin and we were picked up from there at 8 am. Excellent day!!! Muir Woods was a perfect way to spend the morning.Written October 14, 2024
- drbaiti20150 contributionsDO IT YOURSELF!! Ridiculously priced!!Not at all worth the cost. $200/person way overpriced! Cheese tasting was a joke…3 minuscule pieces handed over the counter! Oyster lunch was very limited and we had to shuck our own. Everything was an extra cost. For over $1000 for 4, way over priced! Look elsewhere, or better yet, do it yourself!!Written October 9, 2024

During our recent visit to SF, It was recommended by a friend that we consider heading south to Palo Alto, Cupertino, Apple and Google HQ's, Stanford and the beach. We had visited SF several times through they years, so the normal sites had been seen, in a day or two we headed to Napa and Sonoma, so this seemed to be a great plan. Although there are no available tours on the main campus for Apple and Google, they still have visitor's centers that permit the initiated to "get close to the power." It would be great if both Apple and Google had organized walking tours but they don't, or at least we couldn't find them. However, it is a great trip to the south and we recommend it, after one has experienced the other sites of SF.

Dear customer, thanks a lot for your feedback!
We are glad you had a perfect time on our tour! That's really important for us!
Unfortunately, these companies (Apple and Google don't let anyone come in except people working there) and this is not our fault.
We would be happy to see you on our other tours!

The driver was o time to pick us up at the hotel and he was very knowledgable of the history of California and of the companies we visited.
