About This Tour
THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF A PACKAGED TOUR. It's a private, customized journey through our most unique and iconic scenery. Along the way, I'll show you how to get great photos you can share and frame. * * * DON'T HAVE A FULL DAY? You can book the 4-HOUR OPTION and still see tons of amazing stuff! *** This is for people who want to see what really makes San Francisco the most spectacular city in the world — its natural surroundings! We can hike, bike, trail run, or even just drive to awesome places if you're not feeling energetic. Along the way, I'll show you how to take killer pictures using just the phone in your pocket. I'll create our itinerary based on your interests, how active you want to get, and what the weather's doing that day. In the winter, we can see waterfalls in misty redwood forests. In the spring, green hills full of wildflowers. In the summer, fog rolling in off the ocean. And in the fall, incandescent sunsets over crashing waves. It's awesome all year round!
