David was our guide and he was great! While this isn’t as long as some of the others available, it is a lot and makes for a long day. We went in May and everything was great- weather and crowds. David was super knowledgeable and was even picky about where we went to the restroom- which was awesome! The beach stop was our favorite as we came with zero knowledge or expectations. It was windy but the views were unforgettable.

A very well designed tour, loved seeing the impressive redwood trees- had around 90 minutes for a self guided tour, footpaths clearly marked. Be prepared for noisy school parties on school days! But apparently a lot quieter than Muir Woods. Stopped off for photos under the Golden Gate Bridge en route which was a nice touch. Stopped for sandwiches at a great little deli/general store- amazing sandwich for around $13- and took these to beach. Beach was ok but we were rather plagued by flies and sea gulls after our lunch! We experienced a few hiccups due to the driver having van troubles at the start of the day and it did end up quite a long day- dropped back at our hotel around 7pm after an hour stop at Sausalito (great marguerites at the Mexican restaurant on the front!). Our driver David was pleasant and very apologetic about the problems with late start etc, and keen to ensure our comfort at all times. Overall I would recommend this tour.

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.

Great experience! Great guide who pivoted for us due to some harsh weather conditions. We saw everything as advertised, but with modifications to keep us comfortable.

We would highly recommend this trip. David our tour guide was first class, he gave us a great day out. We were the only 2 in the tour so it really was a personal service.

Best Bay Area Tours? More like Best Bay Area day ever! Our experience was so much more than a tour. We have been on tours before and this was nothing like those. This was an up close, in-depth, and breathtaking whirlwind of incredible sights and experiences. The best part about the Best Area Bay Tours, besides the awe-inspiring locations and local flavor, was our guide, David. We are fortunate to have him as our guide for so many reasons! Truly, his friendly personality, his kind and considerate manner, and his knowledge of the area and its history made the whole trip like traveling with a best friend. David made us feel comfortable, at ease, and happy to be riding along with him. Never once, not through the entire trip, did he ever make it seem like he was going through the motions or had done it a hundred times. He was patient, helpful, and allowed us our space and time to have fun and explore. We are thankful and appreciative that we had David for our guide. If you are looking for a magical day with unforgettable memories of a lifetime, this is the “oh-so-much-more-than-a-tour” company for you! I highly recommend Best Bay Area Tours! (And we were picked up on time at the right location and received plenty of communication via texts about it)
