Customer Reviews
I took the one-day Yosemite tour on 22nd November with Extranomical Tours San Francisco, and it was truly a fantastic experience. The entire day was memorable, well-organized, and absolutely worth it. A special thanks to Andy Howse, who was our host and guide for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable with his insights and stories. His professionalism and great energy ensured everyone had a wonderful time. Overall, an excellent tour—I highly recommend Extranomical Tours to anyone visiting San Francisco!
We loved the Muir Woods & wine tour! Highly recommend. So glad the Muir Woods was open during the government shutdown. Thanks to all the Bay Area tour companies pulling together for the park to remain open. Greatly appreciated! Also, shout out to our awesome tour guide Randall! A humble, not snooty sommelier who shared his knowledge of wine, fun facts about the region, as well as recommendations, and was happy to answer all our questions. 10/10! Bravissimo! As with any tour I would always like more time at each stop but all in all it was a great way to spend the day!
Our Yosemite trip was made truly exceptional thanks to our driver and guide, Sharon Disney. I can confidently say she is one of the most remarkable tour leaders I've encountered globally. She was patient, drove safely, always keeping her focus on the road, and was deeply attentive to the well-being of everyone in her care. Her naturally cheerful disposition added immense joy to the holiday. I appreciated how she took the time to connect with us and answer every question, even extending our breaks so we felt relaxed and unpressured, when it meant her day ended late, a true sign of her dedication. Sharon, thank you for your commitment! I’m impressed!
