A must do tour for anyone want to see keys sites and attractions.
Throughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend. Great guide - Jamie. Very knowledgable and passionate, took away lots of interesting facts. Travelled like a local. Jamie rexommended a place for lunch (not included) to a middle eastern restaurant, in the area of Haight & Ashbury, food was great. There is a lot of walking so not suitable for the less mobile. It is a long day but for us, worth every minute. We would never had covered the key sights and more alone. The day was well planned logistically to. Not a moment wasted. The is a must do tour. Thanks Jamie!!

A Great Day Trip to Silicon Valley
We had an amazing trip to Silicon Valley with Tony. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took wonderful care of the three of us throughout the journey. Beyond visiting tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, Oracle, and Nvidia, as well as the beautiful Stanford University campus, the true highlights were seeing the famous HP Garage, Steve Jobs’ childhood home and garage, and his final residence surrounded by beautiful apple trees.

A Day to Remember
Our time with Fred was perfect! We only had a couple of requests for stops, so Fred mapped out our 4 hours together to ensure that we saw as much of his beloved city as possible. We visited many of the more famous landmarks, but also saw several sites that simply took our breath away. The history and the stories that he shared added so much to our day also!

Muir woods/Alcatraz tour
Me and my husband had a wonderful experience with the tour that was booked with Cool San Francisco. We were picked up at the arranged time, taken to the golden gate bridge where we had 10/15mins for photo opportunity, thank driven to Muir woods stayed for an 1 1/2 hours. Muir woods was not too busy at that time of the morning but when we left it had started to get busy. We than drove to Sausalito and spent an hour around the marina. There was a farmers market and lots of quaint little shops definitely worth visiting. We were than dropped off at Pier 33 with ample time. Given our Alcatraz tickets. We waited for the ferry. Alcatraz is definitely a must. Very eerier and sad to see how the prisoners had lived. What they must have endured. The tour was well organised and our guide Buddy was very knowledgeable in all areas and definitely kept us entertained Have booked a few tours with Cool San Francisco now. Always a good experience.
