Popular Nature & adventure in San Francisco

I've met three tour guides for this trip they were accommodating people friendly and So So Approachable. My guide was a German-American I can't Remember his name he was knowledgeable and also accommodating. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and well fed between our breaks whilst stretching our legs on our Stop offs. He was animative and made us felt being part of a team both singles and couples alike.. Yosemite is awesome....!! Breathtaking Views colourful Picturesque scenic views Wow Wow Wow..!! It appears S if it's something out of a fantasy movie especially at the mountainous the photograph is so colourfull you dont even need to adjust your camera filter or ISO Its so natural colour for Camera smart phones SLR and go-pro type action cameras. No adjustments just natural..!! If you forget your sandwiches no need to worry as at the National visitors centre Theres an awesome food restaurant and somewhere to fill your water bottle....its awesome...!!!

The cruise was exceptional. The crew assisted by volunteering to take pictures at the perfect moments. My phone had died and they allowed me to charge it at the bar and then took photos on their phone and air dropped them to me at the end of the cruise. Wonderful photogenic experience. My only tip for improvement, it was hard for me to find the exact pier. Locals may know that Pier 39 is famous for the sea lions that hang out on the dock, but I was new to SanFran and didn't know I was looking for actual living sea lions. I was standing by a statue of of seals on the boardwalk and waited for 20 minutes before I realized the seal statue may not be what they had meant. I asked 3 people and called the company to find out where to be. Leave yourself plenty of time. Also, seals and sea lions are different animals, so please be more specific in describing that the boat leaves from the pier next to where the actual living sea lions sunbathe.

Loved the visit ! The ride up there is harrowing at times but our driver was excellent. The only way to go, in my opinion, is by mini tour bus. We had 7 people in our van and even though admission wasn’t included in the tour it was worth the cost to not have to drive on those zigzag roads. You can’t go in your car without a parking reservation. People not informed hold up traffic because they have to have this explained by the park rangers when they pull up to park with no reservation. They then can’t go online to make a reservation because there is no cell service up there. Parking for cars can be a mile away. The walk is all uphill and then walking around the forest would be exhausting for kids and older people. I didn’t see any strollers so I don’t think they are permitted.

Our tour guide Constantine is professional, entertaining, cares and looks after our safety. Gave us lots of useful tips like where to eat, how to make full use of our time, where to hike, how long is the hike, etc. throughout the journey there, he gave us a good solid introduction of SF's history, people, culture, the places we drived thru, Yosemite, etc.Worth the long drive and the tough hike down and up to see the giant trees.

We had some complications with our travel arrangements when we arrived in San Francisco and we were unable to go on the bike ride. We went down to the bike store and explained our situation and Bay City Bikes were very accommodating and had no issues with rebooking our reservation for the next day. Thank you!
