Fantastic tour

Julie_G, Apr 2024

Fantastic tour as we saw so much. Informative tour guide. Even though we had a rainy day, it was a great day. Tour van had ample umbrellas. Definitely recommend.

Well worth It

Our last day in San Francisco was a teal delight because we took this wonderful excursion. Highly recommend. David was our driver. Very professional.

Amazing trip

Philip_W, Sep 2023

Seeing the redwoods and the beaches made for an amazing day out. The guide was knowledgeable, interesting and kept us entertained. I can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Best day thanks to David!

Danielle_M, Sep 2023

David was a fantastic tour guide and driver. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. It was my favorite day of the trip! Highly recommend this tour and David!

Amazing and fun day trip from San Fran

Elizabeth_C, Aug 2023

A wonderful day trip. Our host for the day, Steven, was great, personable, told stories and played some great music throughout the drive.. Armstrong State Park was beautiful and quiet, the Redwoods are amazing and a must see! We stopped in the cute little town of Duncan Mills on the way to Goat Rock Beach. Goat Rock Beach is stunning, the cliffs and rock formations reminded my daughter of Scotland. Steven gave us plenty of time to explore each place and this was a great day trip, I would highly recommend.

Brilliant

James_H, Jul 2023

Amazing tour, had a wonderful time. David was very informative and a brilliant guide. Highly recommend.

Excellent

Gavin_L, Jul 2023

Fantastic trip and service by David. As a smaller group he kindly personalised our outing to suit our own interests. Highlight for me was going to Bodega Bay and he took some great photos of us to treasure the memory of the day. Thank you again David.

Best part of our San Francisco trip!

Kjersti_P, Jul 2023

What a spectacular tour! This is largely due to our guide, Steven, who was totally outstanding. His passion/enthusiasm for the coast, sense of humor and tidbits of interesting history made this trip truly memorable. Not to mention that every stop was unique and there were no crowds. Our children said it was the best part of their San Fransisco vacay!

Wonderful trip

Benson_C, Mar 2023

Great travel buddy, thank you so much to our guide, Phil Siegel! I will definitely check out again for another tour with Best Bay Area Tours.

Super Day Trip

Excellent day trip. Saw beautiful redwoods in Armstrong State Park. Not crowded at all. Overall, a great day.

Family Trip to the Redwoods

Susan_R, May 2022

This tour was great, we had so much fun! Our guide was amazing and so full of knowledge about the area. The timing at each site was good, we beat the crowds for the Muir Woods and got to enjoy it with minimal people/outside noise. Would recommend

Great tour in the woods

cary_r, May 2022

Great tour. Armstrong park is so much more enjoyable than Muir Woods. Less crowds and easier walk. Brian was a great tour guide

A wonderful experience!

Ruth_H, Apr 2022

An awesome tour. Loved getting to the Redwoods early before many of the crowds. Brian really personalized the experience for the group. He also jumped in to take photos and had a wealth of information to share.

5 stars

Ashlee_L, Apr 2022

Wonderful tour guide, wonderful experience. He went above and beyond what I was expecting. Would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful day!

Steven_B, Sep 2021

Brian was a wonderful host. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend this trip.

Amazing-worth every penny! Great guide (Brian), personalized experience

Christy_D, Aug 2021

Muir Woods, Golden Gate Bridge overlook, Stinson Beach, Sausalito. Brian was a fantastic guide-only 2 groups of 2 on the tour-great experiences

Much shorter than I expected

Katrina_M, Aug 2021

It was not a 10 hour day trip as it was advertised. We were done by 2pm. Driver had some very inappropriate comments and stories. Know your crowd before making sexist/racist/transphobic jokes… still torcher myself for giving him a $20 tip.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

We will certainly speak with the driver. However, in his seven years as a guide (and countless positive reviews), this is the first time we have heard that his presentation is inappropriate. We are sorry that the day did not live up to your expectations.

Golden Gate, Golden Experience.

Deidre_B, Aug 2021

What a wonderful trip! Thanks to Brian, we were well informed and saw so many attractions. Kudos! Deidre and Rodney Bradley
