Night tour

Excellent tour. We were allowed on an earlier departure and the ferry over was quick with views over the city. Highlight was the audio commentary at Alcatraz cells. Worth noting the return boat times on arrival at Alcatraz.

Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour

Isabela_O, Sep 2026

This is a great laid-back...

This is a great laid-back type of day excursion. My group had a great tour guide, Derek, who made the experience really enjoyable as well as allow us to be independent in the type of things we wanted to see at Muir Woods and Sausalito. He gave some great suggestions and allowed us to explore at our own paces which I really appreciated. The Muir Woods was an incredible site, I think if you’re in the Bay Area you must see these trees. It’s truly awe striking.

Great Tour - Highly Recommend

Great staff! Easy instructions upon arrival. Relaxing tour.

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.

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.

Worth the trip

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
