We took an exclusive morning tour. I read good reviews and took the tour. I found that the tour is much more than what the reviews have mentioned. The tour guide Patricia Furlong is exceptionally good. She took us around many places which we would not have seen in a regular tour. She came 15 minutes before the scheduled time... More

Five star for Golden Horizon Travel because their tour guides offered us the best guided tour to the Yosemite national park and giant sequoias. We paid for a semi-private trip but we ended up having a private tour in their high top van for the same price. The tour and the service were up to our expectations and we are... More

My husband and inlaws enjoyed a wonderfu private 1-day tour with Mary from Golden Horizons to Napa Valley. We had booked the trip before leaving to SF from Norway without any previous knowledge of the firm, and Golden Horizons called and emailed us in advance to confirm the boooking and to agree the exact pick-up location. Mary greeted us right... More

We signed up for the small group tour to Yosemite national park with Golden Horizon tours, the drive from San Francisco was long but we got rewarded with magnificent waterfalls and granite rocks in the Yosemite valley. The hike to the sequoias was very exciting when we stopped by the first big sequoias. I would never though those big trees... More

I have to admit, we were skeptical, as we had been on a few tours in other cities that were highly rated by TA, but we're disappointing.....Golden Horizons did not disappoint! We only had one day in San Francisco to "see it all", and we sure saw a LOT! This tour takes you into the neighborhoods of SF, that you... More

We had a private tour to Yosemite with Buddy as our tour guide - we had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend Golden Horizon. Buddy was very knowledgable and accommodating - we thoroughly enjoyed his company and would love to do another tour if we are ever back in San Francisco. Thank you!

A memorable trip to Monterey and Carmel A nice smiling lady came to pick us up at our hotel in south san Francisco with a black SUV, and then drove us along California scenic highway one to Monterey.  We felt very comfortable from the very begging and spent the whole day chatting and laughing about everything. We skipped the cannery... More
