Amazing experience

Eventhough we didn't get to see any bears or coyotes, this was still a trip of a lifetime. Phil our guide was excellent, very knowledgable and very helpful. The stops and look out points were great and we didn't feel rushed. The scenery was awe inspiring and the itinery was great. My husband has limited mobility and we adapted to his needs without compromising the experience. We opted to stay overnight at yosemite valley lodge and were glad it was just one night, as although the surfaces were clean the floor was dirty and covered in chocolate wrappers from a ptevious occupant. The location was worth it and we got to see the deer and stella jays, plus the walk to cooks meadow and lower yosemite falls was close by. We used the free park shuttle which was helpful and easy to navigate. We wished we had more time and money to stay longer and see more but it was an amazing experience.

Amazing Napa Girls Trip!

This was an amazing experience! The concierge, Vadim, was very patient and informative as we curated the wineries we wanted to visit. This is a door-to-door concierge transportation service. Vincent was attentive to all of our requests and made sure that our friend’s birthday celebration began when we got into the vehicle. He also provided us with an excellent lunch recommendation, Oakville Grocery, which was an experience in itself. Just note that the wine tasting fees are not included.

Yosemite 3-Day Camping Adventure from San Francisco

yingzhaoz2026, Sep 2026

1000/10!! Too good, honestly one of the best trips I’ve done

I joined the three day camping trip from SFO and have absolutely loved it. Blessed with the weather, a small hut super friendly female only group (agin hit the jackpot on this), and FABULOUS route. Loved every single minute of it. The trip was planned to cover the best spots in the valley and around, and our guide Josh was funny and pretty knowledgeable with everything that’s going on. 1000/10! Have recommended to my family to do the trip also.

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.

Wonderful private shore...

Wonderful private shore excursion at our own pace. Maddy picked us up promptly and drove us around the city highlights then out to Muir Woods where we were able to spend more time than the ship's tour allowed. We stopped at Sausalito for a snack and a stroll then headed back to pier 39. Nice day!

No need to search. We are happy with this service.

We called Bogdan prior visiting Napa. He offered nice route and schedule to visit multiple spots. We went to Gloria Ferrer Wines after Bogdan’s suggestion and we came back happy with the experience. Bogdan offers different choices of cars we can reserve. We chose Mercedes Benz GLS (SUV). Smooth ride and very friendly attitude. Will definitely use this service again soon.

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.

Silicon Valley Tour Private Day Trip from San Francisco

Sander_S, May 2026

Fantastic and very comprehensive

Amazing day trip. Our guide fulfilled all our additional wishes. We had a great. City tour with all the highlights and a very comprehensive tour through Silicon Valley including Stanford University. We visited Meta, NVIDIA, Google, Apple, and Steve Jobs' house, Microsoft Corp, etc. The service was truly excellent; we arrived in the morning from the ship, and she picked us up at the port with our luggage and dropped us off at the airport in the afternoon. If you want to experience a nice day and are flying in the late afternoon, this is a brilliant private tour and worth every dollar. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Best SFO Tour you can book!

I always book locals for private tours - because my time on spot is super limited - Nick is maybe one of the best guides you can have. Just tell him what you want to know or see or whats your interesst and he will make something just for you. He knows exactly where to go to, what angle or spot to use for your mobile phone and the results are incredible. Thanks alot for your time and talks out there - and greets to your nephew and the Burrito shop!HR
