A feast for all of the senses.
We were warmly welcomed, lavished with music, poetry, art and amazing food and were encouraged to look within as well as through our senses. The joy and kindness were infectious to open our hearts and radiate love and creativity. Can I give 10 stars? Or all the way to infinity and beyond? I've already booked my next adventure :)

San Francisco Gold Rush Secrets: Self-Guided Puzzle Quest
brianpF2106IG, Oct 2025
A quick, fun history walk
The puzzles were straightforward, mostly consisting of walking to a clued location and collecting information from a historical marker. One location had shut down, so I had to solve its puzzle (the one involving wheels) by doing an image search for the thing that used to be there. But otherwise it went smoothly.The quest covered a good variety of San Francisco spots and some of the city’s history from the wild days of the late 19th century. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an hour or two.Bring sunblock and a hat.

Best tour we have ever been on!
Eric‘s VIP tours was one of our favorite parts of our trip to San Francisco. We went on the SF ultimate combo tour. We had so much fun with Eric! He was so knowledgeable about the city and showed us its beauty. He was flexible with time , and at no time did we fill rushed when making stops to see the sites. We were so impressed with Eric. He truly has a talent for what he does. We highly recommend exploring the city of San Francisco with Eric‘s VIP tours. It’s easy to tell he has a heart for the city and for those who want to see all Th City By The Bay has to offer.

Self-Guided Audio Tour of the Golden Gate Bridge

A great way to get to know the Golden Gate Bridge
You follow the route on the app and whenever you reach a point of interest the narrator will tell you about it. I like the narrator's voice and the way he talks keeps it interesting, especially for children. Plus, you can take this tour at any time during the day on which you booked it, so the time is flexible. You can also cause it and pick it up at a later time or a different spot.

Great experience but a few administrative problems
Although the Academy was excellent there were some problems with the ticketing that should be addressed. Nobody seemed to know about the tickets that were supposed to be issued to us on arrival but the staff did sort out the problem without too many hassles.

We had a great time as a family thanks to the tour organized especially for us by Ed. Ed knows the city perfectly in every detail and we would never have discovered certain places on our own. He is very pleasant, professional and listens to our desires.
