Gregangelo Museum Art Tour in San Francisco

10/10 Would Recommend
We did the "Down the Rabbit Hole" tour and met the with astrologer. It was an absolutely perfect evening! It was just our group at the museum, so we had the place to ourselves. Our tour guide was incredible-- by the end it felt like she was our friend, we'd shared so many stories and experiences. The museum itself is incredible-- so much attention to detail, each room is magnificent and has it's own ambiance. It's a little pricey, but I felt it was totally worth it. I highly recommend, and I would absolutely go again and enjoy a different tour.

Great mix of tasty food, food history, & picturesque views
We had an excellent food tour with Dale who was very knowledgeable, funny, and a great guide! The tour itself was a great mix of tasty food, food history, picturesque views, and general San Francisco history as well. We've done several food tours in the past this was one of the best in terms of spacing the food stops out enough that you had enough time to enjoy what you were eating while also having sufficient time between stops to digest each tasty morsel. This tour is a great way to get an intro to San Francisco and its food scene. Highly recommend!

Informative and perfect way to spend the afternoon. Muir Woods is incredible and was fun to learn about and experience. We had a very good dinner in Sausalito at Copita, as recommended by our guide. Small tour size was a plus.

Golden Gate Park’s Hidden Gems, Highlights and History

Great Experience!
I highly recommend taking this Golden Gate Park tour with John! He was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the park, its history, the flora and fauna and of course, the microclimates of the city. We also got some good recommendations for eats nearby as well as an accurate weather forecast for the remaining days of our visit.

Golden Gate Park’s Hidden Gems, Highlights and History
Shannon_O, Aug 2026
A genuinely delightful experience
I loved John's tour of Golden Gate Park. I highly recommend it for families and anyone into nature and local history. My parents, who are in their 70s and from out-of-state, enjoyed the tranquil walk through several different sections of our park and were wowed by the diverse environments John chose to show us. He wove in his deep knowledge of nature, climate and history to help us understand where we were without being overly didactic. John himself is a pleasure to talk with—a warm, friendly person who truly enjoys getting to know travelers. He even knows some of the park's landscapers and gardeners; John introduced us to a head gardener and we got ask him questions about how he designed a certain section. It was really cool.
