James- Master Class of a Guide”
We highly enjoyed our driver/tour guide, James. This gentleman was a “driving encyclopedia” of information- his recollection of dates, names; was phenomenal and entertaining. If you want a guide who is as deeply knowledgeable as he is charismatic and fun, ask for James."The only negative was the coach bus - rough ride- it needs a good set of shocks! I wrote in before the tour as some reviewers mentioned this! The tour company assured me that their buses were well maintained- not this one! 😞

Awesome 1/2 Day Wine Tour from San Francisco
We enjoyed the 1/2 day wine tour to Sonoma & Napa Valley. Both wineries offered excellent wines and shared tips for enjoying wine. If you like sweet wines, ask for them so you can enjoy the tour too.

Great, thorough tour!
Jamie was a lovely tour guide who was so knowledgeable about his city! He always seemed to have answers to questions and also helped shed light on some underrepresented communities on the SF tour. The cable car museum was a highlight- you can tell he really loves being a tour guide, and his enthusiasm is infectious.

Well-run tour
The tour was really well organised. Everything ran on time, we stopped at all the right attractions, and there was plenty of time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. Communication from the team was also excellent, with clear and timely WhatsApp updates that made everything smooth and stress-free.Andy our tour guide made the whole experience even better. He was funny, friendly, and really helpful, taking everyone’s photos and going the extra mile to get the perfect angles (even lying on his back in front of El Capitan for the shot), sharing interesting facts about the giant sequoias. He even sang to wake us up at the dinner spot!A great, well-run tour made even more memorable thanks to Andy’s energy and humour

Enjoyed the night tour. They demonstrated opening and closing jail cell doors. Audio tour is cool, but suggest letting most people go ahead so not all trying to crowd around the same area.

A fantastic day
Visiting Yosemite was something really special, but what made the experience even more unique was our guide: Andy. With his skill and especially his sympathy, he accompanied us to discover an incredible place making us feel at ease. It was not just a visit, but an experience lived with enthusiasm, interesting stories and a lot of passion. Andy was able to involve us all, turning a day in Yosemite into a precious memory that we will carry with us. Thank you so much for making everything so natural and fun.
