Brandon was the absolute best guide. He gave us many recommendations in town for after the trip, but was excellent the entire trip. His knowledge of Muir Woods and then the little villages going to Point Reyes was excellent. Make sure you lets you try the best ice cream in the world (it really is). It was the best day we had in a vacation full of best days in the Bay Area. We will definitely be booking him again.

I brought my 18-year-old daughter on a high school graduation 4-day tour to Yosemite with Golden Horizon. Brandon was our guide, and he was excellent. He grew up in Oakhurst, a gateway town to Yosemite, and was very knowledgeable about the park and the surrounding area. He was passionate about the park and excited to help us define and fulfill our travel goals. He was always on time and happy to accommodate any requests we had. He knew the best spots for awesome photos, store stops and places to eat. Golden Horizons also was very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely use them again.

Brandon is amazing!! We are 3 days into our 4 and he has been absolutely awesome. He has an awesome passion for being a guide, unique local insights and a super upbeat and positive attitude that will enhance your adventure! If you get to do a trip with Brandon you are in for a treat!

Trip was amazing. Brandon and Mary were the absolute best tour guides!! We did not know what to expect and they exceeded everything we could have ever imagined! They took care of everything down to the smallest detail. They felt like part of the family. Thank you Brandon for driving through the Klamath thru tree! You made our day! I get car sick easily -but not with Brandon. The winding roads were driven with care and super smoothly.

Brandon is an amazing guide! He has great passion for our 2 days Yosemite private tour. He was friendly and really knowledgeable. Absolutely loved hearing him tell the story and the natures of Yosemite , and take us to amazing spots for pictures throughout. Appreciated him getting us around safely and he gave wherever we were. He left us with a memorable Yosemite tour that was a key highlight for us on our trip. Thank you so much for the experience.

Entering the land of the giants was truly magical. Seeing the Redwoods has been on my wish list since I was a little girl. We considered just going to Muir Woods, which is a lot closer to San Francisco, but my research told me I wouldn't be satisfied. Those are younger, MUCH smaller Redwoods. Recognizing the distance from San Fran and wanting to see as much as we could in 2 days, this tour was perfect. Our guide, Mary, promptly picked us up. We made some stops along the way to see other interesting places. Entering the Avenue of Giants was AMAZING. She walked us (Mom 60ish, 3 adults 25-35 yrs old) through the trails, took family photos for us so we didn't need to do selfies or ask other visitors to take our photo. Our first day ended with a stay at the Eureka Inn, a charming inn that was once visited by former Presidents and celebrities. We had a fabulous dinner at a local pub that served one of the best filet mignons I've ever eaten. On our 2nd day, we headed more north to see even bigger Redwoods before heading back to San Fran. Our jaws kept dropping when we entered the forests. Both days were long, 12 hours each, but we loved every second. Being a native, Mary was very knowledgeable of the area and shared info and stories with us as we went along. She made recommendations and gave us choices on what we wanted to see or do within the time we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you want to see the real Red Woods, I can't recommend this tour enough. It's worth every penny & second.

We hired Golden Horizons for 1-1/2 day SF tour, and 1 full day Muir Woods and Sonoma Historic Plaza. Also, for 4 days in Yosemite. I can’t speak highly enough about our tour guides!! Mary took us around for the first 2 days and she was amazing! So knowledgeable and super friendly! We learned so much about the different neighborhoods and history of SF . She recommended an Italian restaurant in Historic Sonoma and it was awesome!! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Mary! The four days, 3 nights with Adam were totally amazing as well! He made sure we had the best rooms on the Merced before we ever checked in. Also wonderful stops on the ride to the park! We learned a ton and also loved his sense of humor. He took us right in to the Ahwanee Hotel for lunch so we would know exactly where to go! So much attention to detail and even sent pictures once we were home. Thanks so much Adam and Golden Horizons Tours!! Don’t hesitate!! I also had several questions ahead of time and they answered quickly each time! Thanks again Adam, Mary and GH

We traveled with Golden Horizon Travel, our first tour was of San Francisco and environs! Mary, our tour guide was terrific, she was born and raised in SF so her knowledge was vast. She also took us to Muir Woods and the Sonoma Plaza for a great lunch and shopping. We skipped a winery tour to stay longer in Sonoma, it was beautiful!!! I highly recommend Mary and Golden Horizons Tours!!!! Dorothy and Dean Blass

Our guide into Yosemite was Adam, I don’t know his last name but he was one of the best guides I’ve ever had on any tour!!! Showed us everything, took us everywhere, fabulous knowledge of Yosemite history!!! I highly recommend Golden Horizons tours !!! Dorothy Blass The hotel we stayed at was 5 minutes from entrance to Yosemite, beautiful views of the Mercer River and canyon walls!! Very comfortable!

Malta is nice destination for brief period of vacation and at season when there is no rain. Because of this, my wife and I decided to spend a couple of days in Valletta at the end of April. The flight from Belgrade is not long and it was pleasant. We have chosen the five-star hotel Grand Excelsior, and let me say at the outset, the hotel was the right choice. At the front desk Mrs. Teodora and the staff welcomed us, very kindly and professionally. This first contact left a nice impression on us. Also, the same situation was at the check out. The hotel has a suitable location and amenities; indoor pool with warm water, nice outdoor pool (water was cold although was sunny weather), a small beach and hotel lobby with a view of the beach and the sea. A variety of delicious food was served in spacious restaurants and with professional and kind staff. The room was spacious with a beautiful view, but room service was pretty slowed down. Valletta is a city full of historical events, places, and fortifications. We had the opportunity to drive in a boat to the neighboring island. At Valletta, the traffic and taxis are arranged like in England - good. I am not sure it is Malta the best choice for a summer vacation because there is no beach, but for short break very this place is acceptable. We have good impressions from Malta, the Excelsior Hotel (Valletta), and the staff, with the desire to return in this one. But perhaps when it is a little warmer weather.

An amazing place, definitely worth seeing. Maybe tour a tad short for rhe money but do not regret at all, interesting history. Watch for zebras on shuttle to main house from entrance building.

We had a private tour (10 of us - my husband, our kids & spouses & 4 grandboys) with Adam. We spent a couple days in San Fran then were picked up at our hotel for the tour. 3 days in Yosemite, hitting the highlights although had to stay in the north end because of the fires in Mariposa Grove. Some beautiful hikes and amazing scenery. 1 day in Sequoia - again great hiking and a half day in Kings Canyon before heading to Fresno airport. Adam was super knowledgeable and tried to accommodate our particular needs/wishes as much as possible. Accommodations were nice - close to park entrance at Yosemite View Lodge and in Sequoia at Wuksachi Lodge. We had a great trip!

We were very pleased by our private tour with our guide Buddy. He permitted us to discover San Francisco with fluent french in a good mood ! We really enjoyed this experience so we give five stars.

5 stars: Mary was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Very pleasant experience. Would do again for sure. Horseback riding folks great also!

We absolutely enjoyed Jon. He knows all things San Francisco and he's from New Zealand (our daughter currently lives there). He was very knowledgeable about whatever we asked. Jon made sure we got amazing photos and had great suggestions on where to eat. My husband and I are a private tour kinda couple and it was worth every dime!
