"Brendan is not just a great guy but his tour is the highlight for my family members trip to SF. It's informative, great fun, and packed with all the must see sites. He recommended places to eat and other spots to visit in SF. Our tour of SF continued long after Brendan dropped us back at our hotel as we followed his recs for days after the tour. Cannot thank nor recommend this tour enough. See you next year Brendan!"

"I had so much fun on the "Best Day in SF and Muir Woods" Excursion! At first I was very hesitant about taking a 6 hour tour, but it ended up being the best part of my trip to San Francisco. The time went by so fast. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see SF and Muir Woods in a day.

​Thank you Brendan for all your recommendations!"

-Robert L.

"Brendan was excellent, interesting, and a funny tour guide. I lived in East Bay years ago and never did the “tourist“ thing. He showed me things I had never seen. The Golden Gate vista was exceptional. Lunch in Sausalito was perfect. Thank you Brendan for a wonderful day! 

P.S. This is not a tacky two story bus, it's a private tour van with water and granola bars."
