Perfect Birthday outing!!

Amazing experience! Derek was super knowledgeable and friendly- it was perfect to see these amazing trees without having to rent a car or drive in San Fran. The small towns and beaches we got to see were all so worth it; great excursion, we highly recommend!

Ask for your guide Brian

Brian was so knowledgeable about all areas of our excursion today . Loved the maps he gave us to the red woods . He even played moves parts , among other things . Request him you won’t be disappointed.

Great experience

We would like to say a big thank you to Kurt who guided us on this tour. It was a great day out with lots of stops for some great photos and food. Kurt had a great personality and was also very flexible with stops and timing. Unfortunately I had a last minute flight cancellation and could not enjoy my day as much as I would have wanted. Thank you for your support and assistance Kurt - we still had a great time. Loved the lunch recommendations!

This was the perfect way...

This was the perfect way to kick off our time in San Francisco! We loved seeing a different side of the area, from the stunning redwoods and coastal views to stops in Bodega Bay, Sausalito, and across the Golden Gate Bridge. At the start of our hike through the redwoods, our tour guide Calder told us that finding and kissing a banana slug brings good luck, and it quickly became our mission to find one. We did find one…but decided to leave the luck up to chance! Calder made the experience even better. As a local, he clearly knows and loves the area, and his knowledge and enthusiasm brought everything to life. A great first day in San Francisco—totally worth the time and money! file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/50/00/B5EFA08F-D4CD-445C-B64A-145912FA7DAB/20260720_113026.jpg
