Rick took us to places all over the city and to places where... More

Thank you very much for the very kind words. I am glad you enjoyed your tour of San Francisco. You'll have to bring your baby back when he's older and can enjoy the sights. We'll drive down Lombard Street again! More

“Great Day!”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

Rick was a wonderful tour guide. He picked us up from where we were staying in the city and drove us to Napa, stopping on the way as we liked (ex. golden gate bridge). Very nice and knowledgeable, and he was very helpful in picking vineyards he think we would like (and he was right!). Also, I left my sunglasses... More

“Rick was a great host for the day!”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

Rick was spot on for what we were looking for. He balanced novices in Wine Country and entertained all kinds of questions. I had considered keeping our rental van and doing the tour via GPS, but once we travelled with Rick we realized the knowledge was half of the experience. The journey is the destination, and Rick is what you... More
