Blue Heron Custom Tours & Travel

I’ve been to The City a few times, but my family never had been. We were coming in from a cruise ship, so our time was limited and we had no transportation.
Initially I was going to rent a car to take the fam around, but I despise traffic, and if you know anything about SF, the traffic can be a big downer if you don’t know where you’re going.
First I called Dylan’s Tours for a private tour, but he was booked and recommended Rick at Blue Heron.
My kids, especially the teenagers, were not terribly happy with the thought of being shuttled around by someone we don’t know, in a minivan of all things. HOWEVER…
It was their favorite part of our cruise. Rick altered the tour to meet our requests and built a great rapport with my kids right away. He even went out of his way to take us to Safeway so we could get medicine for one of the kids and water to take back on the ship.
If you are coming to SF and want to get a taste of all parts of the city, contact Rick. His private tour will only make you want to come back to The City and spend more time there. His knowledge is impressive and he makes the tour fun for everyone.
Highly recommended for families, small groups, or couples, especially if you want to enjoy SF with relatively little planning stress.

Rick was a great tour guide, very professional and knowledgeable of the history of the city of San Francisco, but also of wine and wine country. He took us to some exceptional wineries and restaurants in Napa Valley and helped us understand a lot more about wine during the adventure. He was very flexible and customized the tour to our liking. He even dropped us off at a different hotel at our request so we could fly out early the next day. He also utilized up-​to-​date transportation, not old buses or vans like some tours. You can tell he re-​invests in his company and invests in relationships in the area to make the tours successful. We will recommend him to our friends traveling to wine country.
