We also loved spending time in Santa Cruz and enjoying the coast.Our guide Jason was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He kept everything organized, shared interesting information throughout the trip, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.A wonderful way to experience the redwoods and Santa Cruz in one day. Highly recommend this tour and Jason! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Transportation vehicle was very nice, clean. The tour was long enough with ample time to enjoy each of the wineries and the Redwoods! Of course, what made the tour even better was the driver, Grady!!! So pleasant and knowledgeable.

Charles_C, Aug 2026
A bit of a mix up, but they took good care of us.
We booked this combo tour, but not enough other people did, so they canceled it. Issues like this come up, but it’s how a company handles it that make the difference. They put us on two 1/2 day tours, one for the redwoods and one for wine country. It worked out well. We even got to have lunch in Sausalito! Driver/guides were fun. Good tours.

Must experience!
This was so much fun, exciting, and educational. It was a bit scary at times. The hills in San Francisco are no joke lol. I got off track a few time but that added to the adventure. I did the 3 hour tour and it went very quickly.

Use suncream
A great tour! You get to see a lot while driving a fun little vehicle yourself. It's a unique and enjoyable way to explore the area.Two suggestions for improvement:- Install more suncream in all areas that are not covered on your body, as you can catch a lot of sun during the ride. - 3 hours is short; Allow a bit more time at the stops so participants have enough time to get out, walk around, and enjoy the sights.

O2109UVamandam, Jun 2026
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

Go City: San Francisco Explorer Pass: Choose 2 to 5 Things To Do

Worth it! We went twice in 30 days
I purchased this for Mother's Day weekend with my son and it was an excellent value. We ended up doing the Golden gate bridge cruise and that was amazing! We also did the exploratorium but that day admission was free so I ended up saving one of my three activities. We went to the aquarium and although it was very small it was quick to go through and our favorite part were the touch tanks and shark tunnel. The employees were really nice and we got to touch baby stingrays. I probably would not have paid for this admission on its own but it was a good deal through the go City pass. We ran out of time so I booked another trip to come back and we came back in June within the 30 days and went to the zoo. The zoo was amazing and much bigger than I thought it would be! I will definitely be using go City again!
