Small-Group Luxury Tour: Road to Hana and Ka’eleku Cavern Day Trip

staffsjc, Sep 2026

A great tour experience

There were only 8 on the tour. The vehicle was smart, clean and comfortable. Easy check-in port side. The driver was Randy and not only was he very knowledgeable but he was amenable and a good organizer. It was a 6 hour tour and we went through every climate zone with the exception of desert and ice. Included was a very acceptable lunch. It was a worthwhile tour

San Francisco with the Doc

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Doc and would highly recommend his tour to anyone looking for a personalised photographic experience in San Francisco. His flexibility throughout the day was greatly appreciated, allowing extra time at locations whenever the perfect photo opportunity presented itself.What really set the tour apart was Doc's extensive knowledge of the city. Not only did he take us to fantastic photographic locations, but he also shared the history and stories behind the places we visited, adding an extra dimension to the experience.If you're interested in photography and want to explore San Francisco with a knowledgeable local guide who is happy to tailor the day to your interests, this tour is well worth it.

Guide was very informative

The guide was very informative and helpful to show the places. Only one thing we expected a Van with group of maximum 15 people but it was a Tesla only the two travelers were me and my friend. In the beginning we were little worried but it was very good trip.

Fun Holiday trip thru the city

My wife and I had a fun time with Santa Anthony on our SF Holiday Tuk Tuk tour. If you get tired of singing karaoke thru the streets of San Francisco (or simply do not wish to sing like me), you can have Santa Anthony narrate. He is a wealth of information and even though I am from the SF Bay Area, I learned a lot about the city from the narration. Happy Holidays!

10/10! Would absolutely boob again

Levan was incredible! He arrived early to pick us up, the car was spacious, clean and comfortable, and he provided waters for our group which was very helpful between wine tastings. Very knowledgable about the area & went above and beyond to make our trip wonderful.
