Great tour going from hotel to cruise ship
Perfect tour. We saw so much and got a great feel for the city. Mandi was our guide in a very comfortable Tesla that held all four of our large suitcases. She finished by dropping us at the cruise ship to board. Wonderful tour.

A great tour based on our interests
We didn’t want to do the typical hot-spot tour. We love architecture and seeing neighborhoods and that’s exactly what she showed us, along with some tourist attractions she thought we would like.She was knowledgeable about history and having been a native of the area, she could speak about how things have changed for the communities.

10/10 recommend
The best day trip of my life!! So incredibly cool to learn about Native American history, hear a panel with a former incarcerated person about prison reform, explore the island - and I met a former Alcatraz prisoner in the gift shop! :) I didn’t book a ticket far enough in advance to get an official ticket but luckily the Cool San Francisco team was able to squeeze me in and I am so grateful.

Wonderful private shore...
Wonderful private shore excursion at our own pace. Maddy picked us up promptly and drove us around the city highlights then out to Muir Woods where we were able to spend more time than the ship's tour allowed. We stopped at Sausalito for a snack and a stroll then headed back to pier 39. Nice day!

Awesome tour of Silicon Valley from SF.

Silicon Valley Private Tour from San Francisco

Awesome tour of Silicon Valley from SF.
Fred was our tour guide for the day from Dingo Tours for this Silicon Valley half day trip from SF. Fred was awesome, full of knowledge about Silicon Valley companies and their history and a very happy and accomodating person. He was also a Brazilian soccer fan, which added to the fun aspect, as we were traveling from Sydney Australia to watch the WC matches.Fred gave us a quick outline of the day. First stop was the Meta office, Menlo Park. Interestingly, it was the same office which Sun Microsystems had previously occupied. Being an ex-Sun employee, I was very nostalgic. Fred gave us a quick drive around the campus and then parked to take a picture of us in front of the Meta logo! Funny part was, behind the Meta logo was the old Sun logo, which was such a nice coincidence!The next stop was Stanford University. It was a zip code of its own. Fred gave us some tips on what to see in the short time. We went to see the church, the gift shop and the tower which house a lot of Hoover memorabilia. The view from the top was brilliant, you could capture the width of the entire Stanford campus. The ground floor was a museum. The entry to top floor was ticketed at USD8 per person. Was a good experience.Then next 2 stops were Google office, Mountain View and Apple office, Cupertino. The Google office was just an office with the ground floor having a Google store. After some quick pictures with Google sign boards, we went to Apple which was our final destination. That was a rare experience, getting into Apple Store and visitor’s centre. Shows how Apple can market themselves to blow the socks off its competitors. The Apple visitors centre had a model of the entire campus including office which was built in the shape of a space station. They have interactive iPads which gives a complete immersive experience of each building when you look at the actual model and tap the same building on the iPad. It also had a store and cafe with clean toilets. And if you and T up to the second floor, you would see the actual office building. Great experience for professional nerds who always wanted to be part of Apple, even if from the outside.Overall the tour was a good experience and would def recommend this tour, specially with Fred who was amazing throughout!
