We do our best to make this tour relaxing and fun! Everyone is on vacation and wants to feel that way. We do not want it to feel like a lecture or you are on a school field trip. It sounds basic to some but we love adding personality to the tour which is our best selling point. Safety, courtesy, efficiency and show is what we are all about. Thank you so much for joining us this weekend! It was a pleasure to have you!

The tour to the Golden Gate Bridge. Our tour guide James went above being a great tour guide. He was very informative about the bridge and gave us plenty of time to view it as well as shopping at the gift store. He also told us about other sites as we passed them to the bridge. When we were done he returned us to our next location tour and suggested pier 39 for a quick lunch. Thanks James we enjoyed talking with you.

Thank you for your kind words! Want to know our secret sauce? We are a local family owned operation that listens to our guests to make it even more special! We create tours that our own family needed back in 2012 when we visited on our vacation. We do what it takes to make sure each guest leaves happy! We focus on making memories and less on making a dollar.

We loved the Golden Gate experience. The van is superior to any I have seen. First class all the way. The van driver was professional and helpful. The video about the bridge is captivating. The driver took us right ti Pier 33 for our Alcatraz tour. Well organized experience!
