Great

Rebecca G., United States, 10-2011

We're from Australia and this was a fantastic way to see the sights of San Francisco in a unique mode of transport. The children and us really enjoyed the experience - pity about the rain but then again it added to the overall experience.

Tracy S., Australia, 09-2011

the ride was a little windy so I would suggest a scarf. The tour was very enjoyable, and Deanna, our guide was very friendly and worked hard to make the trip enjoyable for all. we would do the tip again.

Judy E., United States, 07-2011

Our family enjoyed the fire engine tour of the Golden Gate bridge. If only the weather was warmer and the fog had lifted it would have been perfect. The staff was great and fun and was always concerned with our comfort.

Lisa A., United States, 07-2011

This was the second time I was on this tour, brought my brother and his family on it this time. There seemed to be a scheduling disconnect with the tour guide and we had to depart without her (with just the driver) until we got to the base of the bridge at the outskirts of the Presideo where she joined the tour. Other than that, it was great.

James K., United States, 07-2011

The Tour was excellent and the Crew was very Knowledgable

James A., United States, 05-2011

I would highly recommend this tour we were given a little tour of the city as we approached the Golden Gate Bridge and our hosts for the activity were outstanding.

Avis G., United States, 05-2011

We had a great time overall. A fun tour over the Golden Gate and around Sausalito and back. Informative too. It's cold on top of the fire truck, especially going over the bridge, so be prepared. They provide hats, gloves and fireman jackets. You don't get a choice about where you sit. Seating is assigned and you are buckled in like a child. I understand the need for safety, but allowing people to buckle their own seat belts would be a bit more respectful. The tour seems to be geared more for kids than adults, although adults will have fun. There is singing that seems more appropriate for kids.

Anne W., United States, 10-2010

This tour was great fun. It gave us great views as we crossed over the bridge. Lots of interesting information was shared. Definitely worth taking this tour.

Lesley K., United Kingdom, 09-2010

The SF Golden Gate Fireman Tour is a must if you're ever visiting San Francisco. Both Madeline and Robert the owners/tour guides are very hospitable, entertaining, and just outright fun and very friendly tour guides! We enjoyed the entire time on the tour and also the narration provided on the tour. Out of 5 Stars being the best, they are definitely off the chart with 6 Stars.

Danny F., United States, 08-2010

This was so unique a tour and our guides were knowledgeable and it was all around a fun tour. I would advise anyone looking for something different to take the fire engine tour.

Judy J., United States, 08-2010

Out of several tours we did in S.F. we liked this the best because it was so unique. Everyone should do this tour because it is so different. Also....wish for good weather for your tour.

Judy J., United States, 08-2010

Great for kids & adults. Only way to experience the bridge.

Milda C., United States, 08-2010

The best way to see the Golden Gate bridge and surrounding area.

Chuck H., United States, 07-2010

This is a wonderful tour. There is no better way to see the Golden Gate but in this shiney red fire truck. I would recommend it as a once in a lifetime must do!!!!

Kim T., United States, 07-2010

It was so much fun! Marilyn and her husband made the trip awesome, especially when she would break out singing and tapdancing! Great tour of city and memorable experience in San Francisco!

Bill & Nancy F., United States, 07-2010

This is the fourth grandchild I've taken on a tour in San Francisco, and it's as much fun as the first time! Don't miss it.

Linda M., United States, 06-2010

We have experienced the fire engine tour across Golden Gate twice now. It is so much fun and a really great way to see the bridge. The captain and his wife are very entertaining. Do not miss this tour.

Sheila H., United States, 06-2010

Lots of fun

Sundeep J., Canada, 06-2010

This tour was a lot of fun. The kids (9, 7, and 6) absolutely loved it. The guides were very friendly and knowledgable.

Ramon A., United States, 05-2010

Very Entertaining

Blake F., Canada, 04-2010

Great experience - we recommend this highly!

Kim C., United States, 03-2010

Unique experience... very crowded in the back... ride extremely bumpy... lovely tour guides... a tad pricey.

Donna W., United States, 09-2009

Riding the open air 1955 Mack fire truck over the golden Gate bridge was a BLAST!

ROBERT R., United States, 09-2009

very enjoyable afternoon

Carol C., United Kingdom, 09-2009

This was a very fun way to see a San Francisco icon, especially for kids.

Mitra V., United States, 08-2009

This was the best tour. I saw so much of San Francisco. It was an amazing feeling to go over the Golden Gate Bridge with the wind in my hair. I was able to see the structure of the bridge b/c the fire truck is open. It was such a fun tour.

Shannon M., United States, 08-2009

They are truly a great couple full of infectious energy and made it that much better. The group could have been more enthusiastic but I know I had a blast! Would do it again in a heart beat. Was just a little expensive though but great experience.

Sarah S., United States, 07-2009

very satisfied with tour

Brian S., United States, 06-2009

Wow. Thank you.

Renee T., United States, 05-2009

The Fire Truck ride was a blast! Got more to look at along with the ride.

Dan M., United States, 04-2009

This tour was very good and entertaining, I would recommend it highly to anybody that has a keen interest in seeing the city on a fire engine.

Sarah C., United States, 04-2009

It was a lot of fun.

Nadine M., , 10-2008

Excellent

Roseanne M., United States, 10-2008

This is a heart-warming tour of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, filled with lively details, comradery and history. Kids would especially like this tour.

Peggy H., , 09-2008

A MUST RIDE WITH A VERY NICE COUPLE WHO GAVE US A GREAT RIDE GIVING US PLENTY OF INTERESTING ITEMS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE BRIDGE PLUS SAN FRANCISCO

pat g., United Kingdom, 09-2008

It was excellent

Richard G., United States, 08-2008

great for all ages. Operated by the same husband and wife team for thirty years. One of a kind tour - none like it in San Francisco - we are all still singing the theme tune that Marilyn made us sing.

Joanne G., United States, 08-2008

We had a wonderful time, Marilyn and Captain Robert were awesome, I'm sure we will do this again next time we are in SF.

RYAN G., United States, 07-2008

Good tour of the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding neighborhoods.

Dan D., United States, 06-2008

very fun-amazing going over bridge. Guides were so entertaining.

Karen B., United States, 06-2008

It was a surprise event for us. We enjoyed it thoroughly. We got plenty of pictures and had a good time. Our tour guides went out of their way to see to our safety and entertainment needs. It was awesome going across the Golden Gate.

Tom K., United States, 12-2007

We really enjoyed our fire truck ride and recommend it highly.

jann w., United States, 08-2007

This was a unique tour and the highlight of our trip to San Fransisco. Before going, I worried that I had spent too much money on something that was going to be a bust. One minute into our tour, I knew we had made a good decision. I would tour San Fran on the "Big, Red, Shiny Mack Fire Engine" over and over again! So much fun and we learned some interesting things too.

Shelly A., United States, 08-2007

GREAT HOSTS, GREAT RIDE OVER THE GOLDEN GATE BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED A LONGER, SLOWER TRIP THROUGH SAUSALITO.

SHANNON W., United States, 07-2007

We were really surprised with this tour. My sister found it and wanted to do it so we just went along. However, it was one of the best tours that we took while in San Francisco. The couple that did the tour was excellent.

Cheryl J., United States, 07-2007

Do not miss this tour, the couple who run it put their heart and soul into it, it was the best trip we went on in San Fransisco. Children will love it, you even get hats and scarves to wear. We have told out family about it and they are booking in April. Book in good time as it may book up fast.

Patricia H., United Kingdom, 06-2007

We enjoyed the tour very much, it was the best part of our stay in San Francisco. We already recommended the tour to several of our friends and they also enjoyed the tour.

Anton G., United States, 06-2007

Hallo, I'm from Germany and my English is'nt so good. I cant answer for all this question in English. I'm so sorry, but I can tell you something in German. Ihre Internetseite ist sehr übersichtlich und leicht verständlich, ganz toll kam ich auch ohne perfekte Sprachkenntisse zurecht. Der Ausflug hat meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt, Marilyn und ihr Mann waren einfach großartig.Schönes Wetter ist bei einer Fahrt über die Golden Gate Bridge erforderlich, zum Glück hatten wir das. Wenn ich wieder nach San Francisco fliege buche ich Ausflüge nur bei Ihrer Agentur. I hope you can translate and thank's you for this great Trip over the Golden Gate !!! Greetings C. Oettel
