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 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.

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!!!

Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour From San Francisco

MUIR WOODS and so much more—a GREAT day out!!!
Our main interest was to experience Muir Woods—this tour helped us to easily get there and early to enjoy the majestic woods before the crowds arrived, and offered so much more. The option to be picked up from our SF hotel was fantastic, especially for the early morning start. Our tour guide Brian was superb—he brought great energy and enthusiasm as he shared info about SF and all that we would see. Great stops for photo ops and along beautiful vistas of the Bay and Pacific Ocean. Wrapping up the day with lunch in Sausalito was perfect before heading back to our hotel. A GREAT day out!

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.

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.

Monterey, Carmel and Pacific Coast Explorer from San Francisco

Beautiful Monterey and Carmel
A beautiful trip. Monterey was beautiful , 7mile drive offered amazing views of the shoreline and beyond. Wish we had more time in Carmel by the Sea to explore the beach. The hour given isn’t enough for getting a bite to eat, view the beach and shop for trinkets. All in all was a scenic day. Driver Don with Cool Destinations was great, lots of insight.

The Absolute Best Experience!

3-Hour Beyond the Bridge Buggy Tour to Sausalito
T3772UAsarahc, May 2026
The Absolute Best Experience!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable San Francisco adventure!We did the 3-hour GoCar E-Sport tour today, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and returning through the beautiful Presidio, and it was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip!The E-Sport vehicle was so much fun to drive, and having the freedom to explore at our own pace made all the difference. We could stop whenever and wherever we wanted for photos, take in the incredible views, and spend as much time as we liked at the spots that interested us most. It felt like the perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure.The GPS-guided narration was absolutely spot on. Directions were clear and provided with plenty of notice, making it easy to navigate even in busy areas. The commentary and tips along the way were informative, entertaining, and really enhanced the experience without ever feeling overwhelming.Crossing the in the E-Sport and seeing the city, bay, and coastline from a completely different perspective was incredible. The route through Sausalito and back via the Presidio showcased some of the most beautiful scenery in the area.Our only complaint? We didn't want it to end! We genuinely wished the tour had lasted all day. This was such a unique, exciting, and memorable way to see San Francisco, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for an experience that combines sightseeing, flexibility, fun, and amazing photo opportunities, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended! 🚗🌉📸✨

What a Wonderful 2 Day Adventure

Yosemite National Park 2-Day Winter Tour from San Francisco
Georgefamous5, May 2026
What a Wonderful 2 Day Adventure
We had the most wonderful time on our Incredible Adventures trip to Yosemite. Unfortunately our original trip was changed but Beth, at Incredible Adventures, did everything she could to manage and accommodate our expectations, she went above and beyond. Our guide on the first day, Phil Novak, also went above and beyond. He was so thorough with his narrative and pointed everything out on our journey to the park and also whilst we were in the national park. We felt sad when he left at the end of our first day. However, his instructions and guidance on how to spend our 2nd day made sure we got the best out of it. Sadly the guide who collected us and took us back to San Francisco fell quite short. No narrative at all, no interesting facts - nothing. He was a disappointment - the people on his day trip said he was completely uninformative for their whole day. THANK GOODNESS WE HAD PHIL NOVAK AND BETH ON OUR TEAM.

Yosemite National Park 1-Day Private Tour from San Francisco or Yosemite Area

Very well organised and informative experience
Nicolas was an outstanding personal guide and truly made our trip unforgettable. He picked us up directly from our hotel in San Francisco and drove us all the way to Yosemite National Park, making the entire journey seamless and stress-free.Throughout the day, Nicolas took the time to stop at key locations of interest, explaining each area of the park in detail and sharing insights we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. His knowledge and passion really brought Yosemite to life for us.He was incredibly patient, never rushing us, and was more than happy to take photos so we could capture the experience. It felt like a completely personalised tour tailored to our pace and interests.Highly recommend Nicolas to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and knowledgeable guide.

Had an amazing day touring San Francisco with Mary! She really knows her stuff and told some wonderful (and funny!) stories about the city’s architecture and different areas. She also made sure we got to see the Golden Gate Bridge from a spectacular vantage point. Thanks, Mary, for such a memorable experience!
