The driver cum tour guide...

The driver cum tour guide was helpful and responsible. He would contact me one day before the trip. He also picked me up at my hotel instead of designated hotel. He also dropped me off at my second hotel after the trip. Very much appreciated for the flexibility and always enthusiastic in bringing us around. I like his attitude and service. Excellent

Must see and do

This is a must do if one is visiting SF for the first time. Cool San Francisco has offered us the opportunity to experience it without the hassle of having to worry about driving there yourself. The drive is beautiful with ample time for a pit stop and shop for food. Our driver Aidan was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable.

Yosemite Valley Tour Review - Incredible Adventures

I had a great experience on the Yosemite trip with Incredible Adventures. The tour was very well organized, and everything went according to plan. Our tour guide was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything in great detail. I decided to take the Mist Trail, and her guidance made the hike much easier to navigate. She showed me where to board the shuttle, explained where to go to get the best views of Vernal Falls, and made sure I understood how to get back to the van. Thanks to her clear instructions, I was able to complete the hike within the allotted time and return to the van comfortably.We left early at around 6:20 AM and got back quite late, around 10 PM, but it was absolutely worth it. Yosemite was beautiful, and the entire day was a memorable experience.The only downside was that the coach’s AC was not kept on after the initial part of the journey. We were asked to open the windows instead. Given the long travel time, I would have preferred the coach to be fully air-conditioned throughout the trip.Other than that, everything worked as planned. Overall, I would definitely recommend Incredible Adventures for a Yosemite trip, especially because of the excellent

Fogcutter Tours Best in San Francisco

It was a great tour around SanFrancisco. Our tour guide Eric was very knowledgeable and he knew his way around the city. He took us to a number of little places that you wouldn’t get on other tours. I would recommend Fogcutter Tours to anyone who is looking to learn about all things in the city of San Francisco from a fantastic and personable tour guide.

Day trip to Muir Woods and Sonoma/Napa Wine tastings

Glenda was good tour guide and kept us entertained throughout the day with her know how of the SF and stories. Muir Woods was fascinating to see as there’s nothing like it in the East Coast. We had 3 good wine tasting stops and we were able to eat at Sonoma. At the end because there was a little time left we were even able to do an extra quick stop at the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures that everyone appreciated.

Great to see the highlights of Yosemite

Just back from a wonderful day at Yosemite. Cristin, our driver & guide was so knowledgeable & pointed out things of interest on our journey. It was a hot day, but the bus had fabulous air conditioning & the seats were very comfortable. We stopped 2 hours into the journey to pick up some snacks & grab a drink, use the restroom & stretch our legs. The 3 hours in Yosemite were enough for us to see what we wanted to. We were lucky & it was fairly quiet, with no delays Would absolutely recommend if you want to see the highlights of Yosemite. Thank you Cristin for a well organised & fun day.

Muirwood & Winery excellent trip

The Muir Wood journey can be a bit longer while the explanation by the winery lady in the second vineyard can be shortened. Sarah is a terrific guide who did her job perfectly.
