Great tour!
I believe that the Alcatraz tour is a must do if you are in San Francisco. I spent a couple hours out at the rock and that seemed to be about the right amount of time. A big shout out to Viatot because there was some confusion with my tickets as I bought it with another tour. Cool San Francisco was great at straightening it out and everything took place without a hitch.

Muir woods and Sausalito
Amazing experience and after visiting Muir woods, where we got to see the beautiful redwood trees and a coyote we travelled to sausalito. Started foggy but turned out beautiful weather. Our guide Judith was lovely. Very knowledgeable and engaging. I also had a lovely chat with her after being dropped off. I would definitely book again with Cool Destinations travel, great prices, and they constantly message to update you on your upcoming trip, gorgeous bus and brilliant guide 🙂

San Francisco: The Mission District Food Tour with 5 Local Dishes
CLK_traveller, Sep 2026
Great food, local history and an amazing guide
Mark was an amazing guide and really made the tour. Being from San Francisco and a chef, he knew his stuff when it came to the food, but what made it especially good was all the local history and context he brought into it. He gave us a real sense of the different neighbourhoods, the cultures that shaped them and how the food fits into that story, which brought the whole experience to life. I really liked that the tour covered a few different parts of San Francisco rather than staying within one neighbourhood like a lot of food tours do. It felt like you got to see and understand much more of the city, while still trying some great food along the way. Would definitely recommend, and Mark was a huge part of what made it so good.

Mike was an amazing guide. He provided a lot of great history and background on all of the stops, including the cable car museum. We really loved the Dim Sum spot, pizza and gelato. Highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in learning more about Chinatown and Little Italy.

A San Francisco Must
Booking online easy and ferry boarding easy. At Alcatraz there is quite a steep walk up to the tour start - then a free audio provided and tour to follow. Extremely interesting - as expected - and much enjoyed! Tip would be to have a clothing layer - the wind in the exercise yard is biting and we were there on an extremely hot day! Views stunning.

Our Wine Country tour was fabulous. Anthony, our tour guide was very informative and entertaining. He was very easy to interact with. The van was clean and very comfortable. We visited three distinctly different wineries. All were great in their own way. We very highly recommend Edge of the World Tours.
