We had the most amazing experience celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on the San Francisco Dinner Cruise! ❤️✨From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the views of San Francisco from the water were breathtaking. Seeing the city lights while enjoying such a special evening together made this anniversary truly unforgettable. 🌉✨My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate 20 years of marriage. It was romantic, relaxing, and such a beautiful experience that we will always remember.We highly, highly recommend this dinner cruise! If you’re looking for something special, romantic, and memorable, especially for an anniversary or celebration, this is definitely something you should experience. ❤️🥂Thank you for helping make our 20th anniversary absolutely unforgettable! We loved every moment! ❤️

Great 3 day trip to Yosemite with stay at Cedar Lodge
Josh was an outstanding guide. He had so much knowledge of SFO, surrounding areas we passed, and Yosemite. Our group appreciated his hard work and guide efforts. The tour was busy, but you get to see so much. The free day is great as you can divide and conquer the areas seen on the first two days. The park has so much to offer for all levels of activities and ages.

Old ferry boat, but beautiful cruise!

Old ferry boat, but beautiful cruise!
We are Bay Area locals who took some visiting family out for this cruise. To be honest at first, I was very disappointed with the boat. Obviously an old fairy boat. After paying just a few bucks to take the ferry from Alameda to San Francisco it seemed kind of silly to pay 40 bucks to get on an older one. But the cruise itself was absolutely wonderful. We went on the 6:30 PM hour-long cruise in late August and the sun was low in the sky and the weather was beautiful. The view was absolutely gorgeous of the city, the Golden Gate Bridge, and all of the hills around the Bay. Highly recommend!

Yosemite 3-Day Lodging Adventure from San Francisco

Yosemite was awe inspiring
We loved our trip to Yosemite. We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our tour guide Ben was. He is fabulous.! He is to be commended for his even keel manner and his great knowledge of the park. He made the trip so enjoyable for us. I would go on another tour with Ben. My only complaint was with the company description of the trip. It was not clear that we were eating at Ben's campsite for many of the meals. The food was kept cool in a cooler, but for me that was quite worrisome. I have a medical condition that requires me to eliminate many foods. I was only somewhat successful with that but it also made the meal for others not as much fun since I had to put restrictions on food. Also, I had constant stress about spoilage since there was no refrigeration, just ice. There was potential for me to become ill if something was not cool enough. I think the company should consider making that part of the trip much clearer and should be asking about medical conditions and not just food preferences. Lastly, the rooms at the lodge have refrigeration. Certainly once at the camp site, many of the foods could have been stored in travelers' mini fridges. We love Ben, but urge the company to make it much clearer as to how the meals will take place.

Absolutely book this tour. Best thing we did in San Francisco. It was a wonderful combination of adventure, scenery, storytelling, and personal connection. This is a very special boat and a very special experience! Highly recommend Captain Sal and his boat! Communications and meet-up were clear. Just note you do need to descend a ladder to get onto the boat!
