Super value for money, action packed tour. - Action packed fun. From the minute we were picked up, the day was full of fun. Loads of information and lots of stops that we could never have replicated by ourselves. All the small details made the tour feel like a perfect introduction to the city. Brendan made us laugh all the time, he is quick witted and a perfect guide. Really good value for money tour. I would recommend to anyone to do it.

Fantastic - Patrick was great. Funny. Knowledgeable and respectful. Wish we had more time at Muir and a less rushed lunch in Sausalito. Alcatraz was intense. Love everything. Will recommend 100%.

This is the tour you want to go on! - The information about San Francisco was exceptional! The trip was not only what we were seeing but what to do while in San Francisco. Take notes. Brendan is quick witted. Snacks, drinks, and stops for pictures,and bathroom breaks are the thoughtful entities he has incorporated. BAR NUN the trip to see Muir Forest and the other wonders of the area.
