New York City

kerrykY8834CE, Sep 2026

Amazing Tour!

Our guide Dominic was amazing! He has a true love for the city and for interacting with people. The small group allowed for more intimate interactions with others and our guide was able to remember all of our names and got to know us during the tour as well. You will hit all of the hot spots and he will stop and allow you to take photos and has music appropriately planned. The bus is a super cool way to enjoy the city and I would recommend for anyone wanting a unique city tour and who loves to learn the history of a city from a pro.

Alcatraz City Cruises: Official Admission Ticket

Alcatraz Review

make sure they wear their walking shoes because it is going to be lots of walking. Make sure they can go up the hills. It was a great experience.

Donna_H, Sep 2026

Sunset On The Bay

The whales are tricky to see but the cruise is still worth it. Very friendly service and informative as well.

Kerry_K, Sep 2026

Best tour yet!

The tour was amazing! Our driver was so well informed and kind. He went out of his way to make sure we got all the best photos and made sure we saw the full experience even though there was some traffic. The bus was very cute and made the whole experience of driving through the city much more nostalgic and memorable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see the city in a different way while taking in a ton of history.

Janie_D, Sep 2026

Sisters trip

Dave and the tour were awesome!!

We loved the tour, the other three travelers we met and toured with, and the guide Dave was the best!!! Very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Wouldn't want to tour San Francisco any other way! Would definitely recommend the Love Tour and would ask for Dave!!

Tour review

Judith was an amazing guide. She brings the peninsula, the Golden Gate and the cities to life through her storytelling and weaves in elements of the past to present history seamlessly. She also gives great tips to make the most of each stops, takes the time to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable and goes the extra mile to ensure a perfect experience for all.

Derek_T, Sep 2026

Tour was awesome! Dave...

Tour was awesome! Dave was a great guide and we saw alot of San Fransico that we had not seen before. My family loved it and I highly recommend this tour if you want to see all the highlights of the city in a few hours of time.

2-Hour Sunset Sail on the San Francisco Bay

christagC801VH, Sep 2026

Mom daughter trip

My mom and I had a great time! The sailing was great and we got to see all that was promised. Couldn’t have had any better weather. The captain and first mate were great and everything was on time. Limited beer and wine selection that was in a cooler but served to us. Overall very nice experience with an experienced team. We felt safe the entire trip.

Janice_C, Sep 2026

Worth the trip

A great little adventure

A good experience. A bit chilly in the wind, so bring something to wear if staying outside. Went to both bridges and around alcatraz. Great little adventure.

San Francisco Whale Watching Cruise from Fisherman’s Wharf

flowmaster00, Sep 2026

Wonderful

If you get sea sick, this will make you sick… I was sick most of the time on the water but we did get to see some whales so that in my opinion is a once in a lifetime experience! The tour guide was wonderful and the captain was great as well
