I rarely write reviews but honestly this tour was one of the best I’ve been on in California. It was so comfortable, the van is super clean and each person gets there own individual reclining seat and usb ports for charging. James the driver/owner was professional and very knowledgeable and informative the entire time. He upgraded us for free to go see Muir Woods and it was breathtaking. The tour was worth every penny.

James: You were an absolute pleasure! By the end of the tour it felt as if we had known you for ages! This tour is designed to feel like a family road trip and it certainly did this day! Even the rain did not stop the fun! Thank you so much for your business and kind words!

Our van driver and guide to the Golden Gate, James, was very helpful at all times. He knew and shared with us a lot of historic details and information not only about the bridge but also about San Francisco and the Bay Area in general. Thank you again James for a wonderful tour!

Alcatraz was amazing. Enjoyed history of Golden Gate Bridge. James was awesome and dropped us all off at our hotels and took the time to get to know us. Only wish thr Alcatraz cruise also went under GGB.

We loved having you join us! It would be so perfect if the Alcatraz boats went under the bridge but they are just a ferry service company contracted to get visitors to the island direct. At least our van was able to get you on the bridge with plenty of time to walk it. Thank you for letting us be part of your special day!
