Private Full Day Yosemite National Park Tour from San Francisco

Day trip to Yosemite National Park
The trip was memorable. Michael, who drove us and guided us throughout the trip was truly amazing. He took care of all the smallest details to ensure that we were always comfortable and enjoyed our trip thoroughly surrounded by intersting informations around the various highlights. We got enough time for taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. Definitely a highlight besides the park itself: the picknick incl. some great wine. We fully enjoyed the beauty of Yosemite Park and the various sights on the way to the park.

Muir Woods Self-Guided Driving and Walking Audio Tour

Peaceful Journey (Audio Tour Only)
The audio tour added so much to our visit to Muir Woods. The instructions made it clear that this purchase is an audio tour experience and not a parking pass, vehicle reservation, or park entrance ticket, so we came prepared (Some of them having an argument with a ranger) and had no confusion on arrival. We loved exploring at our own pace, stopping whenever we wanted for photos, and learning about the forest along the way. Highly recommended!

San Francisco Gold Rush Secrets: Self-Guided Puzzle Quest
brianpF2106IG, Oct 2025
A quick, fun history walk
The puzzles were straightforward, mostly consisting of walking to a clued location and collecting information from a historical marker. One location had shut down, so I had to solve its puzzle (the one involving wheels) by doing an image search for the thing that used to be there. But otherwise it went smoothly.The quest covered a good variety of San Francisco spots and some of the city’s history from the wild days of the late 19th century. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an hour or two.Bring sunblock and a hat.

Best tour we have ever been on!
Eric‘s VIP tours was one of our favorite parts of our trip to San Francisco. We went on the SF ultimate combo tour. We had so much fun with Eric! He was so knowledgeable about the city and showed us its beauty. He was flexible with time , and at no time did we fill rushed when making stops to see the sites. We were so impressed with Eric. He truly has a talent for what he does. We highly recommend exploring the city of San Francisco with Eric‘s VIP tours. It’s easy to tell he has a heart for the city and for those who want to see all Th City By The Bay has to offer.

We used Eric’s VIP tours for two days in SanFrancisco. Erie is very punctual, professional, and patient. He’s quite knowledgeable about San Francisco and Muir Woods. We also experienced Yosemite with Eric’s Private tours. Incredible that we saw so much of the park, did two hikes, had super chill lunch in the park, and did not feel rushed at any time.

Sonoma Coast Tasting Tour: Cheese, Honey, Oysters, Wine and Oils
Cheryl_L, Dec 2024
Information and Food!
We had the opportunity to be taken around by Karill the owner. There were only two of us on this excursion. He picked us up on time and gave us lots of back ground and history as we drove through North Beach and towards the destinations listed in the program. I think because there were only two of us - we made some extra stops because we had extra time to see more sites. We have done many of these food and wine tours, This one was a little different due to none of the tastings are included. The cheese tasting they say is included I would classify more as a sampling of what they have offering that morning which were three cheeses. Then you buy what you want and enjoy a breakfast at the picnic tables overlooking the expansive landscape. We really enjoyed the Meadery. All of their mead is sparkling - you must sample both flights! Lunch along Hwy 1, outdoor, overlooking the seascape was lovely. The oysters, soup, crab and bread were all delicious. Then off to the Ranch for another wine tasting. we chose to do a wine flight and an olive oil/gelato flight. I know it sounds strange - olive oil and gelato - but it works! So good! This outing is a great opportunity to support small businesses that focus on what they do best, either cheese, mead, wine, olive oil products or seafood. I suggest going as a group to maximize the cost of the excursion because you are paying for the transportation, but definitely a must do!
