Take in the renowned hills of San Francisco and the striking cityscape; in the distance…the surrounding Bay Area communities. See the famous landmarks, such as, Alcatraz Island & the spectacular bridges spanning the Bay. Upon landing, a return shuttle is waiting.

Muir Woods

By the early 20th century, most of the 2 million acres of forests had been cut down by the logging industry. Just north of the San Francisco Bay, one valley named Redwood Canyon remained uncut, mainly due to its relative inaccessibility.

 

Today it is known as Muir Woods.  Our guides will take you to this beautiful historic preserve so that you may re-connect with nature and feel the humbling presence of these ancient redwoods.

Private Cooking Instruction

All private lessons: You decide what you would like to learn anywhere from cooking basics to a specific cuisine. Design your own menu or give me a direction of what you are interested in learning and I can create a customized menu for you each lesson.

 

Also available:  Forage and Feast consists of foraging for our ingredients at one of SF’s best Farmer’s Markets and then taking what we find, creating an amazing meal with no planned menu or idea of what we will be making and FEASTING on it!

Be sure to bring some extra layers as the weather on this infamous island is about as unpredictable as the inmates it was once inhabited by.  Both day and evening tours are available, the latter for the less faint of heart.

Best of all, the adventure happens at your pace. You can stop for photos, take detours, grab a coffee or break for lunch.

Angel Island Excursion

Angel Island is often considered the “less famous” Alcatraz, but this simply means that it’s less crowded and less expensive than its Bay Island counterpart. It’s also the “one-stop-shop” of day trip getaways.

 

Historical tours, hiking, biking, and a cute café by the water… This island’s got it all, and it’s easy to do most of it in a single day.

Private Bike Historic & Art Tours

We created this tour to showcase our wonderful city in about 3 to 3.5 hours. It has a bit of everything: Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, funky street art in the Mission, Victorian architecture, and a historic “wiggle” route used by the city’s founding missionaries.

 

Most importantly, this tour can be done by almost anyone. We really do avoid the hills. This city changes everyday, so depending on the sunshine and your interests, we may visit some other hidden spots as well.

Exotic Sports Car Rentals

The roads surrounding the Bay Area beckon to the sports car enthusiast.  With scenic trips along the coast to winding mountainous switchbacks, it’s hard to find a better place for a Sunday drive outside of Europe.

 

Rentals can be single or multiple day with optional delivery available.  Or go on a group adventure where you will be driving six vehicles from the world’s most impressive range of brands
