This is the best tour I have ever taken and a great bang for the bucks. I have traveled all over the world and Death Valley has been the greatest surprise. DV is so exquisitely beautiful and there is so much to see. Our driver and tour guide Brian of Mojave Wave LLC., was so knowledgeable, kind, and so willing to make sure everyone on the tour was happy and all our needs were met. Included in the tour was this great lunch at the Toll Road restaurant in Death Valley. The cowboy burger was the bomb and I had the best cup of coffee since I hit Vegas. From Dante’s Peak to Hell’s Gate to the ghost town of Rhyolite to Area 51 our guide was able to answer all of our questions and make this tour completely enjoyable and interesting. If it couldn’t get any better it did. We had so much from with Sylvia and David from North Carolina and Yen a student from Georgetown University. Book with tour guide Brian for a great trip.

Normally I don't like to write reviews, but I have to recommend this tour to everyone. Brian was the best guide I have ever met, he would answer all your questions and always tried to make sure we experienced more during the tour. Death Valley is a great place to visit, especially when you look down at Dante View.

This cruise was fantastic. Being able to see Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, the Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco waterfront so close was an awesome experience. The commentary throughout the cruise provided interesting facts about the locations and their history which added to the experience.

This was a great way to see San Diego as a whole when you can’t decide what to see and are on a time crunch.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned quite a bit about the history of SF.
