Coit Tower in San Francisco is a famous Art Deco tower that sits proudly on Telegraph Hill. From the top, it offers incredible views of the San Francisco Bay and beyond.

The Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge cruise is very convenient. If you want to photograph these two landmarks in San Francisco, taking a boat to get closer offers the best shots. The island provides Chinese audio guides, which is very convenient, and you can see that Americans have a system for managing national park tourism. Note that the island's shops don't open until 10:30 AM!

We sincerely thank Mr. Richard Yeh for taking such good care of us. Klook arranged for a Mandarin-speaking guide to accompany us, and we had a fantastic time. The scenery on this three-day, two-night trip was beautiful, and the breakfasts were also great. We will definitely book Klook tours again.

Our tour leader, Branda, was enthusiastic and responsible throughout the entire trip. Although the drives were long, we had adequate breaks along the way. Even though this tour was a combination of different groups, I selected the Chinese tour when booking. I appreciate Klook's assistance in providing a Mandarin-speaking guide, Mr. Richard Yeh. Richard was very dedicated, providing explanations of the scenery along the way, helping with photos, and suggesting attractions and meals. We gained a lot from the entire trip, and we are very grateful to Mr. Yeh. Our driver, Henry, drove very smoothly, which made us feel very safe and relaxed. The accommodations for both days were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit San Francisco and Yosemite without driving. Thank you, Klook, for your careful arrangements!
