San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Tours

It was a fairly clear day, but breezy on the water - take a coat. The information was enlightening as we went around the area. Enjoyed the trip.

Bang for your buck, for sure!! You go all the way under the Golden Gare bridge!! 🤩

We really enjoyed our tour. Brian did a fantastic job. This was our first time in San Francisco and it was a great way to see different areas of the city. He was interesting and was able to give us a lot of information about San Francisco.

Brian was amazing! He was funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took fantastic photos for us at all the best spots and recommended a couple of excellent restaurants that made dinner an easy choice. We've lived in the Bay Area for over four years and thought we knew San Francisco well, but Brian introduced us to places we'd never seen before. His deep knowledge of the city's history and hidden gems gave us a whole new appreciation for San Francisco and even inspired us with new places and experiences to come back and explore. We highly recommend this tour!

This was a once in a lifetime experience for my wife and I. We travelled out to California for our Honeymoon, and San Francisco was the end of our trip. The tour of Fisherman's Wharf was not only scenic and fun, but our tour guide Dara shared so much interesting historical information about the area. The 2 hour tour flew by, and we hadn't even experienced the best part of our day. We then boarded 'The Golden Gate' boat and travelled out to the Golden Gate Bridge. Getting to sail under the bridge and back to shore was one of the coolest experiences we've ever had in our lives. This was a 12/10 tour that I would recommend to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable day.

Gave delightful insights into a world that we know little, the world of architecture. Now we will walk appreciating a little more of our surroundings.

I it was an amazing experience from the boat ride on the “Golden Gate” with Captain Sal to the walking tour with Dara. Both guides were knowledgable and patient with all my questions. Captain Sal even let me steer the boat, it was an exuberant and great time all around.THANK YOU, Captain Sal and Dara, I will treasure this experience!!

I enjoyed the cruise staff very friendly and helpful. Look forward to doing it again.

This was a really fun experience! Everything was easy and comfortable. I always enjoy hearing about the area on the sites and the narrative was perfect for that. I especially loved being that close to the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing the dolphins glide by the boat.

Ben was a great guide! He had a fun personality and showed us the great places around San Francisco.

This tour was amazing! Our guide was Ben and he had so many interesting stories to share about the city. My family had a bunch of spots we wanted to see and he accommodated them all as well as sharing his favorite places. Meeting the guide was straightforward, the little Tuk-Tuk was very unique and Ben took photos for us so everyone could be in them. I highly recommend this tour for any family that wants to have fun exploring the city!

Seth was a terrific tour guide. The history lesson was awesome. Quality information you can’t just find online. Lefty’s welcome!

Seth was a great guide. He told us lots of back stories about San Francisco. He walked at a nice pace and answered all our questions. We highly recommend him.

I think this a great experience if you are looking for something comparable inexpensive and there is a ton of food choices nearby. The was a bar and I had a delicious Irish coffee because it was a cool day. They need instructions for the bathroom sinks posted.

Goes fast but just the right time with restless kids. Took my 13&16yr old. Three level boat. Top windy but lots of benches to sit (many non English speaking people tried to reserve a few benches for themselves. We just sat down anyhow and ignored the hand waves). But honestly it doesn’t matter because once the boat starts moving everyone stands and looks around and seats open up. They only sell beer, white claw, pop, and snacks only on the bottom level. The white claws they offered were THE BIG ones. $10. All the levels have bench seats with backs to them. The bottom level and second level is all enclosed seating. The speaking of the history part is all automated by speakers. I found it to be very clear but harder to hear on top deck due to wind. Temp today Sept 1, was 70 ,and my teen boys were chilly up top but I liked it. Most people brought light jackets.The beginning and end was windy but near Alcatraz it got substantially less windy probably due to the terrain. The Boat gets very close to Alcatraz which was cool and made for good pics. At the end I didn’t see anyone taking tips or a tip jar out for tips which was also VERY nice because this town is tip happy. It’s WILD. I would do it again. Great time. We did the 530p tour which made it nice for pics as the sun was coming down

I had a wonderful experience. The cruise ship was clean and every person working the ship was friendly and knowledgeable. The narration of the bay was informative. The scenes of San Francisco from the bay were spectacular. I got a great photo of the fog rolling up on the Golden Gate Bridge. I might go again before I go home because the trip was so peaceful.
