San Francisco City Tour Reviews

Thank you for touring us in such polarized and eclectic city. Lombard Street was quiet something. The vista points at the Twin Peaks and the Golden Gate Bridge are our best snapshot of all time. We flew from Boston to San Francisco to attend the famous Garlic festival in Gilroy last July (2007). We decided to go on your San Francisco Morning Tour and we quiet frankly loved it!

You San Francisco Muir Woods tour offered my wife and me and kids the best tour of our lifetime. We have never been the USA before. A Francisco has much more to offer than the movies we used to watch about San Francisco. The Redwoods are impressive and unique. We have a 200 year redwood tree in park were we live. However, when we saw the real redwoods we were impressed. Please keep us posted when you will come up with escorted tour to Sequoia National Park. My kids have a cartoon move about the Sequoias and would love to combine this with Death Valley and Mammoth Lakes.

My boy friend and I decided to go on the Bay Cruise a city tour after a San Francisco Muir Woods tour. The cruise tour allowed us to see very closely Alcatraz, Treasure, and Angel Islands. However, the most impressive was taking pictures of the Golden Gate from the ocean level. We hope we will go on your Yosemite tour next time with our friends from Europe.

Thank you for all.

Une voiture confortable et puissante vient nous chercher à l’hôtel et nous voilà partis.

La journée commence par un rapide tour d’horizon de la ville de San Francisco. Les rues qui hier, nous paraissaient des côtes terribles à pied, sont encore plus impressionnantes en descente en voiture. Heureusement le chauffeur et la voiture ont de bons freins !

Puis nous traversons le Presidio, ancienne propriété militaire transformée en résidence. Par une route sinueuse nous arrivons au fameux grand pont, le Golden Gate Bridge ; la traversée est magnifique.

Une autre route sinueuse (nous en aurons beaucoup aujourd’hui) nous conduit au Muir Wood National Monument : une petite balade à pied nous fait découvrir ces « Red Woods » gigantesques dont certains peuvent atteindre 1000 ans d’âge. Le guide qui nous rejoint est un expert en botanique et se plait à nous donner une foule d’informations sur les plantes, arbres et fleurs rencontrées. Les photographes s’en donnent à cœur joie.

On reprend la voiture pour rejoindre Bolinas par une route en corniche qui donne de superbes vues sur la côte du Pacifique. Le temps est très beau et les fleurs inconnues qui nous servent de premiers plans donnent de très belles photos. En approchant de Bolinas, on longe des lagunes où on peut voir de nombreux oiseaux de mer, mais les lions de mer sont loin et peuvent se confondre avec des rochers.

Un joyeux pique-nique sur la plage est suivi d’un sympathique café dans un bar local de style western, et on repart sur la route de montagne pour escalader le mont Tamalpais. L’ascension se termine par une amusante petite escalade à pied et aboutit à un rocher donnant un point de vue formidable dans toutes les directions, et tout particulièrement sur la ville de San Francisco et sur toute la baie : magnifique, on pourrait passer des heures à admirer le panorama.

Mais il faut redescendre et, après un petit arrêt dans la, charmante ville de Sausalito, la voiture nous conduit à un belvédère permettant d’admirer dans toute sa splendeur le Golden Gate Bridge, resplendissant sous les couleurs du soleil couchant.

Voilà, c’est la fin. Nous rentrons à l’hôtel enchantés de cette belle journée. Merci à notre guide dont la gentillesse et la culture ont contribué à faire de ce tour un succès complet.

Dear Adam,
The San Francisco night tour was really exotic and awesome .San Francisco is so different at night and less crowded . My wife actually enjoyed the San Francisco night tour more than the day tour .I personally liked the vista points at the Twin Peaks and the Golden Gate Bridge during the day tour .They are our best snapshots of all time. We flew from Boston to San Francisco to attend the famous Garlic festival in Gilroy last July (2007). We decided to go on your San Francisco Morning Tour. The tour guide and the service incited us going on your night tour. We quite frankly loved both !

Hola a todos.
Una pequeña nota de agradecimiento a los chicos de la empresa turística Golden Horizon Travel en San Francisco por hacer de nuestro tours en San Francisco y de Yosemite tours tan divertido y ameno.
Llamamos para pedir un guía turístico que pudiera hacer el tour en español y efectivamente nos proporcionaron un guía bilingue para nuestros tours de San Francisco y de Yosemite.
Nuestro guía conocía San Francisco como la palma de su mano. Incluso nos ofrecieron una hora más de recorrido por la ciudad sin cobrarnos la hora adicional.
Nuestro tours por Yosemite fue una experiencia excepcional pudimos caminar para ver los arboles sequoias y tuvimos la suerte de ver a los osos. Fue muy grato. Mi esposa y mis hijos disfrutaron de estos tours en San Francisco y en Yosemite Park.

Adam is an awesome guide. The tour totally exceeded our expectations. The SUV was a great way to move about the city. We had fun as well as learned a lot about the city. I have already told my friends about taking this tour.

Muir Woods Tour Review with San Francisco city tour, Wine Country Tour Review, Monterey Carmel tour review:
My mother recently had her 80th birthday. Having lost her husband, my father, 6 months ago, my sister and I decided to take my mother on a trip to refresh her mind and body.
She is recovering from a stroke.
She had never seen California before. We live on the East Coast. We wanted to see the redwoods, the pacific, the wine country, the golden gate, the city and all the wonders found in the Bay area.
We only had 4 days to see all these things....what to do?
How do we make sure my mother is safe, comfortable, relaxed and enjoying these sights?
Luck led to meet Adam at golden horizon travel.com I spoke with Adam by phone, he understood our needs, and we arranged a two-day private tour.
My family can not say enough good things about Adam. He was kind, protective, proactive, knowledgeable from history to horticulture, multi-lingual, musical, humorous, interesting, a safe driver, great company, polite, a great teacher.... and the list can continue until all superlatives in the English language are exhausted. My mother is still talking about the trip and how perfect it was even with the recent fires. Adam knew how to outsmart the smoke and the traffic. We saw everything we hoped for, and more without the trip being hectic or exhausting. The pace was comfortable and we learned and experienced with joy.
The tour was customized to us and our unique situation. Adam did everything to be at my mother's arm at every doorstep and incline. He even borrowed a golf cart from a golfer at Pebble Beach in order to give my mother a ride, sparing her a steep, outside staircase.
 
We did not need to ask...he intuitively knew how to help and be "present" to our needs.
If you are considering a tour with Adam and Golden Horizon Travel.com , I hope you will make a reservation. You will not be disappointed and I happy to be a reference.
Thank you, Adam. My mother is still boasting to all about you.

Happy Travels

Our tours of San Francisco, Muir Woods and the famous Wine Country were amazing. Adam, of Golden Horizon Travel, was the perfect host. He not only took us to all the important sites but also to lesser-known areas, so we could enjoy the local flavor. We loved every minute of our experience, which was truly enhanced by Adam's personal and friendly manner. Would we travel with Golden Horizons Travel again ! In a New York...I mean...In a San Francisco minute!

Hello everybody!

My Name is Michael; I live in Cleveland-Ohio. My girl friend and I decided to celebrate our 10th anniversary in San Francisco-California this year. We were looking for a private SUV Tour Company specialized in wine tasting tours. We got really confused and overwhelmed by the number of tour companies who pretends running private SUV tours in San Francisco bay area. We called over 10 different companies; almost all of them were brokers located in the east coast and the Midwest! We finally could narrow down to five private tour companies- 3 of them were not professional, they even do not provide online payment. We ended up with two choices, the first tour company is pretty big and busy, and they never returned our phone calls. However, the second one was finally the good one. It’s a mid size tour company based in San Francisco down town known as www.goldenhorizontravel.com
We were blessed and happy to be safe. We really had fun in the wine country. The tour guide manager to offer us complimentary wine tasting. We visited small wineries and met with some friendly wine makers .The owner offered us two extra hours for no charge. In addition, the driver dropped us at SFO airport for no charge. This is what I call good customer service! Thank you

After I took a vacation trip to San Francisco last week , I'm really consider moving to San Francisco, there are many places to go and even though it looks expensive it really not as much as other parts of the US. And you can enjoy a very good weather almost every year too, it is not so extreme tan other places. thanks to my trip I could see how locals live and also I like so much the big city, many interesting sites and different cultures, it's like being in the United Nations Thank you guys from Golden Horizon Travel to show me this beautiful city, let me tell you My trip to San Francisco was incredible,  we went to many famous movies location as the Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz, the famous Golden Gate Bridge, North Beach. I really appreciated that my guide tour came on time to my hotel and we spent a splendid day visiting San Francisco, Muir Woods and Sausalito, I really enjoy the Muir Woods it was so good to be out of the city for a while ! really recommendable tour You might fall in love with this city as I am.

Your San Francisco afternoon Tour offered me great views for the city, I spent a wonderful time looking around the colorful and vibrant city of San Francisco. San Francisco has many small cities inside there are a Chinatown, a Japan Town, Mission Street and North Beach known as Little Italy, I loved San Francisco, so many choices you have for dine, different cultures, traditions and what I liked most is Fisherman’s Wharf where I stayed for shopping and hanging around with some friends I made in your San Francisco City Tour. Oh I almost forgot to say the cruise around the bay It was astonishing!! We passed below the Golden Gate Bridge !!

I want to comment about my stay in San Francisco with my friends where we spent a couple of days in such wonderful city. We decided to go on Golden Horizon Travel’s city morning tour. The tour was entertaining and informative. The photos stops at the Golden Gate Bridge and the Twin Peaks are breathtaking views! The tour guide was very kind, professional and knowledgeable. We liked touring China Town, Japan Town, Union Square, Alamo Square and Fisherman’s Wharf. What a great city! We definitely recommend Golden Horizon Travel and Tours to everyone who wants to visit San Francisco! Thank you very much from all of us.

San Francisco private SUV tour with Golden Horizon Travel did exceed our expectations! The tour guide offered us an extra hour for no charge to visit San Francisco museum of Legion of Honor! In addition we had enough time to tour De Young Museum .We had been on many private tours in San Francisco before as we come to Francisco twice a year for business purposes, but this private tour made the difference. The tour guide has a strong passion for his job-that made the difference indeed. The San Francisco bus tours took us once to those crowded places in San Francisco where we could hardly spend more than 5 minutes in each location! The San Francisco private tour allowed us to explorer and tour San Francisco’s local and typical areas where you meet with san Franciscans and not some curious tourists like us. We have a passion for arts and museums. San Francisco private tour offered us the opportunity to tour San Francisco and visit two museums in 5-hour tour. Yes, you pay more but you get more of San Francisco with 100% privacy .No hassle, no time wasting on pick-up and drop off. We got tired of San Francisco bus tours –they make over 15 stops and drop off wasting more than 1 ½ of a 4-hour tour! We are not here to recommend this or that tour company. However, we recommend San Francisco private tours not a limo tours .Why? you got to ensure that you are not getting driver but a tour guide -driver who likes his Job and knowledgeable about the site of interests you will be visiting. Golden Horizon Travel deserves credit for this review because they are specialized in private SUV tours operated by State certified tour guides . Trust me, that makes the difference. I hope you will read more reviews before choosing your San Francisco private tour. This is how we found our San Francisco private tour thanks to a review as well.Sincerely,Martha and John Kirksville, MO 63501

The best tour San Francisco Muir Woods and Sausalito
06/14/2008 Posted by shellyanderson1
San Francisco Muir Woods Tour was my best tour in California! I expected a foggy San Francisco on my San Francisco tour. However, it turned out a sunny beautiful day. The tour guide started with a great photos stop at San Francisco Golden Gate on the way to Muir woods. After Muir woods tour, we stopped in Sausalito touring the city and shopping down town. The afternoon was awesome as the san Francisco tour took us to Twin peaks and Alamo Square !I made my best photos in San Francisco north beach where Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe got married. The square reminded me of Clint Estwoods’ Dirty Harry ! Is that where the movie was filmed? I had a great time on this Muir woods & San Francisco one-day tour. I am not promoting Golden Horizon Travel Business, but I really recommend them. They do a great job! I

hope that helps !

Book your San Francisco Private tour last weekend, I had so much fun, San Francisco is a big city and there are many places to see, but when you are a first time visitor as I was, you must choose a tour company that it's not only serious, but also takes care of you and takes the time to plan with you the places to visit. Golden Horizon Travel you made my day!! Your tour guide knew the best places to visit and the right time to do them. These past days San Francisco was so crowded in downtown but my tour guide knew where to go first and the exact moment, so we avoided the traffic jam and the protests.

Thank you guys.

El mejor servicio : detalles que hacen esta agencia la Mejor! gracias‎
Nuestra familia contrato los servicios de Golden Horizon Travel no solo para un tour sino para tres!! El primero de nuestros tours fue en San Francisco, Muir Woods y Sausalito, mi esposo y mis hijos nunca habían estado en San Francisco antes y les encanto ver que en esta ciudad hay tantos lugares que ver y visitar. Pudimos bajar en el Puente de  Golden Gate Y tomarle fotos desde todos los ángulos, desde Fort Mason, luego desde el vista point , luego desde Marin Headlands,  estuvimos encantados porque ninguna agencia de viajes  lo hace, solo te llevan a un solo sitio para que tomes las fotos 5 a 10 minutos y eso sería todo.
Nos fuimos luego a Yosemite Nacional Park el tour privado de un día  fue excepcional y fabuloso.  Nuestro guía nos llevo a ver los arboles de Sequoia  gigantes, luego fuimos al mirador de Glacier Point y por supuesto paseamos a ver las cataratas cercas al Valle, pero como lamentablemente ahora están bajo de caudal, nuestro guía no quiso desanimarnos y nos llevo al Glacier Point, realmente un lugar mágico, con vistas de otras cascadas como Nevada Fall y Vernal Fall , realmente estos lugares se visitan en los tours de dos días pero nuestro Guía quiso que conociéramos mas.  Realmente nuestro tour de 12 horas demando  17 horas pero no nos cobraron las horas adicionales.

Otro día tomamos el tour privado en SUV para conocer Monterey, mis hijos querían ir al acuario y a ver las ballenas, así que adaptamos nuestro tour para ellos, la idea de ver a las ballenas en pleno mar los tenia súper emocionados, aunque no pudimos lograr ver a las ballenas al menos se contentaron con haber visto las nutrias y las medusas en el acuario.  Lo que más nos agrado es que el SUV que nos asignaron era de lo mas cómodo y espacioso e incluso contaba con dvd para ver o escuchar música, Nelly  una de las guías, compro películas en español para que mis hijos pudieran ver y entretenerse  durante el camino, realmente a mi esposo y a mí nos pareció fascinante este  detalle.
Esta empresa no solo ofrece un servicio único sino que sus detalles y su amabilidad nos hacen sentir parte de una  familia.
Realmente les recomiendo a  tomar sus tours con esta agencia de viajes.!

We really appreciate the info you gave us...your tour guide from that company offered not even a good service also an outstanding good relationship with their customers. I'd call them soon thank.  Lilly Fon

Our visit to San Francisco was a pleasant trip, we chose Golden Horizon Travel because we read people’s reviews and we found them very interesting, so my husband and I took a tour to San Francisco, Muir Woods and Sausalito last week. We really enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was funny, he knew where to go to avoid traffic jam and he was very informative and knowledge. The best part of our trip definitely was the photo stop overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge….we loved it !!Thank you Golden Horizon Travel for our San Francisco Muir Woods and Sausalito Private Tour.

San Francisco what a great city.! I took a tour to go to San Francisco, Muir Woods and Sausalito last week. What I liked more was the vista from Twin Peaks, the sky was very clear and we could see San Francisco City without fog. Most tours companies don’t do this stop they just go to the nearest spots and that’s it. Our tour guide was funny, creative and he showed us the hidden places where locals go. Then we went to Muir Woods National Monument, the park is very close to San Francisco and it was amazing to see those giant redwoods trees and some squirrels running in the park. We did a short hike to Cathedral Grove. My wife enjoyed a lot. And to end the tour we went to Sausalito this charming town is a pleasure to visit the smalls local stores and have a delicious ice cream or coffee admiring San Francisco Bay area. Thank you Golden Horizon Travel for this wonderful trip.
