1/3/2023 I took a Highway 1 scenic tour, and it lived up to my expectations. Day long tour, just sit back enjoy the views, make a few stops including redwoods. I really like the fact this is not your typical tourist trip where you go to the most crowded spots. Phil our Tour Guide/Driver was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about the history and really enjoys what he does. I never felt rushed and had enough time at each stop. With Phil you are in good hands. He cares about everyone on the tour, one of the advantages of a small tour bus experience. I plan to go on a tour with them again in a few weeks. I wish you will add a Big Sur day trip! Another suggestion would be to add Fort Ross to the day trip. I think it's worth the stop and its only 15 miles from Goat Rock Beach.

This was one of our favorite tours during our stay in San Francisco. We started with Muir Woods to see an awesome cathedral of trees followed by a memorable four-course meal with wine pairing at the Kendall Jackson winery. Along the way, our tour guide Phil, gave great information about the history of San Francisco and the sites we visited. Helpful Hint: We passed through Sausalito on the way back to the City and Phil offered to drop people off. Might be a great way to add a destination to your tour. You can go back to the City via bus or ferry - check dates and times.

We had an awesome time with these guys. We took two hours, one to Armstrong Forest and the winery tour with lunch, and one to Yosemite. Our guides were Stephen, David I believe, he was training, and Phil. We loved both tours and all the guides. Will definitely use them again if we ever come back that way. I highly recommend them. Definitely worth the money to take the tour. You learn so much from knowledgeable guides.

If you only take one tour in your entire life it should be this one. Steven our tour guide provided an amazing and unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Yosemite National Park (including where to take the best photos!)

Tour guides, there are good ones and there are not so good ones. From the moment we met Brian we knew we had a great tour guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and organised. This was to be the highlight of our time in San Francisco, this hit the mark and some. Brian is a star, there is no doubt about that. We appreciate the amazing day you provided the memories will last a lifetime.

The tour was wonderful. Anthony, our guide was nice, funny, and knowledgeable. The winery was nice and the woods were fantastic!!

Gorgeous, magical, sunny day visiting the Muir Woods and along the coast. Phil was a fantastic tour guide. 5000 stars

The small group Yosemite tour was a trip of a lifetime. My teenage son and I loved this tour above all other 5 tours we took in San Fran. Everything was perfect from the communication the day before with confirmed pick up time & location to a fun experience from the point you board the van until you step off. Phil was outstanding, Yosemite was a spectacular dream come true!! Phil even took picss for us and instructed each of us on how to get the perfect photos. Music and stops and fascinating stories along the way made the 4 hr trip there and back seem very short. Incredible tour start to end...thet even sent a link to view and download pics Phil took along the journey. I can't say enough good things to express how great this tour was! Spectacular!!

We booked a day tour for Yosemite and our guide Phil was absolutely great - attentive, knowledgable, and friendly, couldn't have asked for a better guide of SanFran and the park! Definitely recommend booking if you want a guide and a fun tour!

Incredible day out in Yosemite with our tour Phil! He knows so much, has such a great energy and know all the cool spots for photos!

Fantastic tour, well organised, entertaining and informative. It was the highlight of my holiday in California!

Excellent tour - great communication and coordination. Thoughtful tour operator - informative, funny, and attentive. Beautiful venues. Highly recommend!

The tour guide was electric! He really let us explore on our own and was very knowledgeable about the terrain. There were of course a few fires, but I still found the tour enjoyable with all the smoke around. Just another effect of nature. I highly recommend this tour. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and seen the entire time!

Amazing small group day tour to Yosemite with Brian as our guide. Great communication the day before to arrange pickup time from our hotel. A very early start had us up well before dawn for the long, but very comfortable drive out to Yosemite. This was broken up with a short rest and food stops each way with plenty of options to choose from. Informative documentaries about the park shown on the journey to pass the time and keep us entertained. Wow, wow, wow! Spectacular scenery and we got to see the snow and autumn (fall) all rolled into one. Brian's experience in knowing just the right spots to visit - at the right time of day to capture the best light - and the bonus telescopes he set up so we could see all the climbers in El Capitan was above and beyond what I was expecting from a day tour. This was by far - the best day of our two week trip to USA! I just wish I could have stayed for longer - maybe next time! Thanks Brian for such an outstanding and memorable day!

Best Bay Area Tours was just what we were hoping for when we took our two teen age grandkids to Yosemite National Park. Don was our guide and along with another family of four and two guests from Austria we had an early start to get ahead of the big bus tours which we managed to avoid and stay ahead of all day. It resulted in a long day but allowed us to avoid the crowds and got us home about 8:40 PM. It was a great experience. My only advice would be to warn guests ahead of time that the tour is going to start that early. We would not have planned such an adventurous day the day before if we had known we had to be up as early for the tour as needed to be. Otherwise it was a great trip all around.

We were picked at our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable about Yosemite, the climbs on El Capitan and stops along the way. He even brought along binoculars and camera lenses on tripods to view the climbers on El Capitan. We enjoyed the trip and since we were only in San Francisco for a short time, it was nice to have someone else do the driving and explain the sites.

INCREDIBLE!! Phil was an absolute vibe who was able to take us to multiple locations throughout Yosemite. This was my first time seeing proper snow and I definitely won’t forget it. This tour is well and truly worth the price, I would do it again in a heart beat.

Wow! They aren't kidding when they say "Best" Bay Area Tours! My husband and I took the tour of Armstrong Redwood Natural Reserve, Sonoma County, Bodega Bay and Sausalito. Our tour guide, Anthony, was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable and professional; he gave us the real insider view of the area! Every other company we looked at was trying to pawn a pathetic 4-hour jaunt for almost the same price. This tour was an all day affair and worth every penny! Thanks again for the amazing trip, we'll definitely be back to do the other tours!
