Yosemite is very pretty!! but for the tour price, would have expected lunch to be provided. guide/ driver Lawson was great, transfer vehicle was very comfy. would have preferred more drop off points within Yosemite to explore given the relatively small group size. it’s a pity in winter the road to Giant Sequoia is closed

Had a great time except the stop at Lombard Street was too far from the tourist spot of Lombard Street

It’s very warm on the boat and the scenery is great. The front desk staff are very professional and will help you with any questions. The feeling of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is very special. Definitely recommended, but be careful to keep warm.

For those undecided, I want to share that it’s one of the beat decisions we made for our SFO trip. The tour operator is efficient and very very helpful- shout out to Cody and Arnel of Jefferson station, by Fisherman’s Wharf, you guys are amazing!
