Our Destinations
Not just the most popular-- Golden Gate Bridge, "Painted Ladies," Napa Valley, Carmel ...but also many un-usual experiences-- Silicon Valley, locales from Hitchcock's "Vertigo," Big Sur, the Marine Mammal Center, lighthouses, vegan meal options ...we're even considering a tour featuring our new cannabis industry. Your itinerary can be made to accommodate 2-3 days in the Wine Country or on our coast, with overnight stays.  
     
Truly Custom or Personalized Itineraries
That adapt to favor kids (with parents or other adults, of course), individuals who're traveling solo, people in (foldable) wheelchairs and those who need frequent stops, people who don't like lots of steps, even teetotalers interested in the Wine Country. FYI once we've confirmed a tour reservation, we often ask that you complete a questionnaire, your responses to which help us ensure that you see and experience what interests you most in the time allotted.

Local, Savvy Guides 
Both ours, and those we introduce you to.

Fun, and Educational...at your pace

Our Fees 
Based on time traveled, and without mysterious surcharges like "taxes," licensing fees, mandatory gratuities 

What Makes Us Different?

See places not included in the typical tour— hidden delights known only to locals.
We pick you up at your hotel, home, the airport* or even the dock of your cruise ship.
Start when you're ready and move at your pace.
Don't worry about directions, traffic, or where to park.
Your itinerary emphasizes your preferences ​ as to places to see and where to eat.
You employ the services of a trained, knowledgeable Guide who's lived in the Bay Area for decades. With interactive narration you get context and history so you can appreciate more thoroughly what you're seeing and experiencing.
You can travel solo, as a couple, as a family, or as a group of similar interests.
