Tour was good since it takes you around the city but some stops are a bit far from touristy spots. We had to walk a lot uphill just to see Lombard. Aquarium suddenly wasn’t part of the tour on the day we joined so we didn’t get the tickets that were supposed to be included. Sunset tour was worth it though.

Very good experience to cruise around the San Francisco Bay during Sunset. Have a closer look of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island.

It was a tour without a single Korean person, and it was wonderful. We departed right on the dot at 8:40 across from the Gray Line office. They give you a quick moment to take pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge, visit two wineries, and then give you an hour and a half for free time for lunch at Sonoma Plaza. After visiting one more place, we headed back and arrived at 5:30 PM. It was also really great that the driver provided tour commentary the entire way there and back! Even if your English isn't very good, it's still plenty of fun. I used ChatGPT for real-time voice translation throughout the tour to understand, and it was so enjoyable. My only regret is that I couldn't chat with the other tour members because of my English. I highly recommend that Koreans experience this tour, even if you aren't fluent in English!

This is an excellent itinerary for those who don't want to spend too much time traveling. The 10 AM meeting time is very convenient, making it perfect for business travelers or those looking for a half-day trip. Our guide, Joe, has extensive experience and shared fascinating anecdotes about San Francisco's history, Muir Woods, and Sausalito along the way. Muir Woods is fantastic, a forest full of positive energy and phytoncides. The trails are very accessible; for those who exercise regularly or enjoy hiking, it's just a leisurely forest walk, also suitable for seniors and children. You have the option to take a ferry back to San Francisco from Sausalito for an additional fee. We highly recommend taking the ferry back, as it offers stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Remember to choose the right side of the deck on the return trip for the best scenery! Upon arrival at the Ferry Building, you'll find a clean and beautiful indoor food court where you can relax and refresh.

Had fun going around with my dad! The difference with the LA one is that while this one doesn't have the cool NASA things, the SF one has a rainforest simulation that houses several birds and so many butterflies!

Muir woods, sausalito, and alcatraz were all beautiful. I appreciate the fun facts of the tour guide and the trivias. had fun listening to him. 1hr in sausalito was quick. wish we couldve spent at least 2hrs but overall the tour was nice. suggestion would be to put in the itinerary details the pick up spot
