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!

Fantastic One Day Intro to San Fran
This is a fantastic way to hit up a bunch of San Fran highlights if you are short on time but desire to experience all that San Fran has to offer. Forest was very knowledgeable about the area and history. Muir Woods was definitely a highlight as were all of the viewpoints of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge. This tour is great for small groups who want a personalized experience, avoid big groups, flex a bit on the amount of time at each stop, and enjoy personalized conversation with your guide.

Great 3 day trip to Yosemite with stay at Cedar Lodge
Josh was an outstanding guide. He had so much knowledge of SFO, surrounding areas we passed, and Yosemite. Our group appreciated his hard work and guide efforts. The tour was busy, but you get to see so much. The free day is great as you can divide and conquer the areas seen on the first two days. The park has so much to offer for all levels of activities and ages.

Yosemite was awe inspiring

Yosemite 3-Day Lodging Adventure from San Francisco

Yosemite was awe inspiring
We loved our trip to Yosemite. We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our tour guide Ben was. He is fabulous.! He is to be commended for his even keel manner and his great knowledge of the park. He made the trip so enjoyable for us. I would go on another tour with Ben. My only complaint was with the company description of the trip. It was not clear that we were eating at Ben's campsite for many of the meals. The food was kept cool in a cooler, but for me that was quite worrisome. I have a medical condition that requires me to eliminate many foods. I was only somewhat successful with that but it also made the meal for others not as much fun since I had to put restrictions on food. Also, I had constant stress about spoilage since there was no refrigeration, just ice. There was potential for me to become ill if something was not cool enough. I think the company should consider making that part of the trip much clearer and should be asking about medical conditions and not just food preferences. Lastly, the rooms at the lodge have refrigeration. Certainly once at the camp site, many of the foods could have been stored in travelers' mini fridges. We love Ben, but urge the company to make it much clearer as to how the meals will take place.

Awesome trip to Muir and beyond

Awesome trip to Muir and beyond
I hired Nik to show me and five friends the highlights on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge - Muir Woods, Sausalito, the bunkers, and so on. It was fantastic for multiple reasons. First, the itinerary was a true collaboration between us - I had a ton of ideas and Nik figured out how to translate that into a coherent itinerary that made logical sense taking into account distances, times of day, and the weather. Second, because he grew up in the area, his commentary was personal anecdotes that put what we were seeing in greater sociological context. Third, whenever the weather turned crappy, which happened a lot, he could instantly pivot to a perfect Plan B. Fourth, he went above and beyond to arrange things we needed that I could not have done myself because I was coming from out of town, including a birthday cake (!) for someone in the group, which was served in the perfect scenic spot. Fifth, his recommendation lunch place was awesome and I never would have known about it. Sixth, it was just a good vibe overall with someone who was on our wavelength and not just a robotic and overly formal guide. Anyway, I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, highly recommend.

Fun Thing to DO
I had the greatest experience from the moment we walked in! Excellent service! Traveling from AZ and wanted his birthday to be rememberable. The whole team was so helpful, place was clean and everything was handled in a timely manner. The staff were kind, energic, professional, spoke clearly with directions, on time, and did exactly what they said they would do. Also LOVED it. This is the kind of local business I would definitely recommend, IFLY Union City, and buy the All-Media package. Video and photos were, Clear and fun to watch afterwords. Can’t wait till we come back again. Thank you Staff again for making his birthday GREAT!!!

Golden Gate Park’s Hidden Gems, Highlights and History
Laura_J, Aug 2026
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.

It was so much fun! Equipment was clean, staff was very friendly and we were given all the information for a great tour. The carts have a gps which tells you where to go as well as a fact sharing sentence or two at each point of interest. Would definitely do this again.

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.

So much fun and wonder memories!!
Lawrence was an great guide and our whole family truly had an amazing time. We enjoyed a wonderful view while learning how to catch crab. Lawrence not only provided all the needed supplies but also clear simple instructions on how it's done. If thats not enough he also cooked us a delicious lunch with the crabs we caught, you can't get any fresher than that!

Alcatraz Night Tour with Muir Woods and Sausalito

Excellent experiences in San Francisco area
Very organized and easy to book. Trip up to Muir Woods was excellent. Our tour guide was so funny as well as providing us with info along the way. Sausalito was charming and had enough time to explore and relax. Returned to FW in plenty of time to catch ferry to Alcatraz. Was an audio guide there, run by the Park Service, and was a little underwhelming, but that part is not under trip control. Overall an excellent way to spend the day and have some iconic experiences.

We had a blast
Walked up to store when we saw the buggies. They were busy but had available cars for rent. We had 3 couples and drove around to Golden Gate Bridge then over to Lombard street. Views were great and cars were a blast well worth 125.00 after all taxes and fees.
