Highly recommend. James was a great guide and picked 3 great wineries, each with their own vibes. The people at the wineries were great and educational. Pickup at the ferry terminal was easy. Communications before the trip were excellent and thorough!

I found myself with a free afternoon during a last-minute business trip and decided to try and book a tour last minute, and am very happy I chose this one!The trek itself was exactly what I was looking for. It was engaging, fun, and packed with crazy facts about the city's history that you’d never find on a standard sightseeing bus. Chris was an amazing tour guide! He even sent over a curated list of recommendations for the rest of my stay, from the best local coffee spots to hidden viewpoints I actually had time to visit between meetings. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a great San Francisco experience. If you're short on time but want a high-quality, local perspective, book this now!

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.

We were lucky to have Sandrine as our tour guide. She was very friendly , fun and knowledgeable . Sandrine arrived on time at our hotel and drove us around the city . Also not having to deal with or wait for people in a larger group also made the experience personal .Sandrine answered all our questions and gave us suggestions on what to do after . We definitely recommend this tour and Sandrine to friends who are planning a trip to SF.

Recommend Audio Tour Guide very economical and Fun way to spend the day
I purchased the 4 in one bundle audio tour$30 but was not able to access.I was unable to contact customer service because it has over the weekend to resolve the tech issues when not able to access set itinerary and access audio tour guide downloads…it kept sending me to other tours in other states not Yosemite (Shaka Guide link)…. I was able to book a separate 1 day Audible and this experience was most enjoyable for only $14.99. The Audible was like having your own personal guide and we were able to drive and go at our own leisure. The audio voice was funny and gave suggestions and tip recommendations. The only issue was connectivity every time we stopped it would take time to reconnect fortunately one of people traveling with was able to use her cell phone access…I would recommend the tour to others but maybe do each individual tour and not the bundle.
