Here's what guests are saying about Golden Gate Getaways...
Never had a better private tour. Jeff Morgan was a true delight. Good planner, driver, entertainer, commentator. Wish I could clone him and have him take us everywhere!. linda z., United States, 03-2013
My mother and I had only a limited amount of time so we knew we had to be selective about where and how much time to spend. Jeff was a great driver,he was knowledgeable about the area,flexible and pointed out cool places to go later in our trip. We totally enjoyed his company and wish we could have scheduled another day with him. We will come back and use Jeff. Gina A., United States, 02-2013
Our guide Jeff, is excellent, knows very well Napa and what is worth to do, We recomend very much taking the tour with him Fausto I., United States, 11-2012
Jeff was awesome. We have used other tour companies in SF before, but Jeff was by far the best! Very knowledgeable about the area and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He made our experience very fun. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone. Michael W., United States, 05-2012
We had the most amazing tour to Big Sur. Jeff handled all the details-from champagne on the ride down to lunch reservations in Carmel and tickets to tour Hearst Castle -we stopped wherever we wanted for photos and enjoyed every moment along the way. Tina C., UK, 02-2014
This Napa tour was absolutely fabulous! Our tour guide was extremely informative and knowledgable. In fact, we will use him again for ALL of our San Francisco trips. He made our day so very enjoyable and memorable! Larry C., United States, 10-2011
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful in every way during the trip. Not only did we get in the three tours we had reserved ahead of time, but we also were able to get in another tasting thanks to his knowledge of the local wineries. Josh G., United States, 10-2011
Jeff was awesome. Stephen S., United States, 10-2010

An excellent introductory tour of San Franscisco with a very professional guide/driver. Try to avoid peak times and traffic downtown can be an issue. You'll get some beautiful pictures of the bridge at dusk. Patricia T., Australia, 12-2010
We were never hurried or rushed like so many private tours I have taken all over the world. Our guide, Jeff Morgan, was well versed and made the trip relaxing. Les D., United States, 07-2010
Overall a very worthwhile personalised tour. Although we booked San Francisco on the Half Shell tour our guide was very accommodating in letting us pick and chose sights and areas that we particularly wanted to see and explore - managed to get a really good handle on the main precincts of San Francisco in a short space of time. Roma F., Australia, 01-2010
Our San Fransisco tour was wonderful! Our tour guide Jeff was very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time touring the city and were able to stop for pictures as often as we wanted. We all had a great time seeing this beautiful city. Amanda A., United States, 10-2008
Great tour driver and very accommodating.Very pleased with all the suggestions provided by the tour operator, he went above and beyond the tour description. Les P., United States, 09-2008
The tour operator is the owner of the business. While this is a bit more than other tours, the privacy and customized service cannot be beat. Tour operator is great to work with, very knowledgable, and I could not have picked a better tour to go on. I have already recommended him to friends and family wanting to go to wine country. If you're looking for personalized services with a luxury feel, choose this tour. Kimberly J., United States, 02-2010
Jeff was amazing. He contacted me prior to the tour to discuss different venues. He was extremely courteous and made the tour wonderful. Next time we are back in San Fransisco we will are going to make it a point to re-book this exact same tour. Brian M., United States, 11-2009
My friends and I took the private suv wine country day trip with Jeff Morgan. We had the best time all day. Jeff was very informative and made our day one to remember always. From the start of the trip to the end of the day we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Thanks so very much and "cheers" to Jeff. Patty M., United States, 09-2009
outstanding. Jeff was great.highly recommended bob g., United States, 05-2009
We had a great time - Jeff was a great tour guide! Jennifer S., United States, 02-2009
Jeff was great!!! Very knowledgeable of the area and the vineyards. We had a great time. Well worth the extra fee to get the personal service!!! Fantastic from start to finish. Karen M., , 10-2008
Our group of 4 was very impressed with our tour guide Jeff. My husband and I are planning on going back to San Francisco just to do the wine tour again. There wasn't anything we would change! Thanks again Jeff! Laura K., , 10-2008
This was a 60th Birthday gift for my father and the whole experience was wonderful. My parents spoke so highly of Jeff - from the music selection in the car, to the flexibility he demonstrated and how relaxed he made the whole experience. Matt J., , 10-2008
Our tour guide Jeff was amazing - he was knowledgeable, thoughtful and really listened to what we wanted to do. In addition his friendly attitude was a real treat! Erin P., United States, 02-2008
Excellent, I will recommend to those people that hate massive tours and likes to organize your own. Jeff is very professional and he adapts to your needs and way how you would like to do the tour. Aryanne B., Venezuela, 02-2008
Jeff is an excellent guide, knowledgeble, safe driver, very pleasant and flexible. He had refreshments for us in the SUV, and special music acccording to the areas we were visiting. We truly enjoyed the tour and we recommend taking it. ALINA N., Canada, 11-2012
Our Napa tour was everything we imagined. We visited a few of the landmarks in SF before we left the city, stopped at the vista overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and made our way up to the wine country sipping champagne. We were treated to a complimentary tour & VIP tasting at Rubicon Estate which was fabulous! After a delicious lunch @ Bouchon in Yountville, we toured some smaller boutique wineries where we got to meet the wine maker and do some barrel sampling. Our tour guide was great! He offered great suggestions and kept us moving but never pushed us. I highly recommend this service...!! Julie S., United States, 07-2011
This was the best tour we have ever taken. The driver was excellent and wonderful. Rodolfo A., United States, 10-2012
The tour was fantastic - I could not recommend it more highly. Pamela M., Australia, 01-2012
An exremely enjoyable tour with our own personal group of 4. Our guide, Jeff was very friendly and went out of his way to make the day enjoyable for us. Sue B., United Kingdom, 10-2011
This tour to Carmel and surrounding area with Jeff (Golden Gate Getaways) is the best tour we have ever taken. Well worth the money for a private tour. I cannot say enough good about Jeff. We throughly enjoyed his company, knowledge and flexibility in allowing us to alter the tour to meet our wishes. He was Always attentive and his SUV was extremely clean, roomy and comfortable for the long day and had plenty of window space for great viewing. I Highly, Highly recommend Jeff for any touring needs in the California area he covers. He will be the only tour guide we use for any future tours in the San Francisco area. Thank you Jeff for a fantastic day!!!!! Cheryl D., United States, 08-2011
A great trip, handled professionally Lynn B., United Kingdom, 08-2011
What an absolute terrific tour!!! We just loved it! Tanya C., United States, 08-2011

The Monterey Carmel Tour with Jeff as our guide was excellent. Jeff was knowledgeable, friendly and relaxed and enabled us to get the best out of our day. I will be recommending this tour to my friends and family. Bevan R., New Zealand, 02-2011
It was a wonderful tour and Jeff was excellent my mother always wanted to see Doris Days Hotel which he took us too so my mother was very pleased made her dream come true.Thank you very much Jeff KAREN R., United Kingdom, 09-2010
We had the best time on this tour. Jeff's knowledge of the area was great and the stops we made were customized to our needs and what we wanted to see. Time was never an issue so being a bit late at certain stops was not an issue. Even all the trivial information that was communicated to us was interesting and fun. All of the above just made the trip that much more enjoyable. For sure we will book another trip with Jeff on our next visit to the area. Alice Z., Canada, 09-2010
This was the highlight of our vacation. We recommended Jeff Morgan and his tours to the concierge at our hotel. We also took a bus tour while we were in San Francisco and this private tour was so much better and the price is so reasonable compared to other private tours. We wish we had booked another tour with Jeff while we were there. We would highly recommend this tour company to all our friends. Debra W., United States, 07-2010
We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to any couple or small group visiting SF and wanting to see the magnificent coast. Jeff our tour guide was simply fantastic, informative, quiet, prepared and not over the top which we appreciated greatly on a private tour. Judy M., Australia, 04-2010
The driver was very knowlable of the area and very accommadating to our specific needs. patricia h., United States, 03-2010
We can't say enough great things about our trip with Jeff. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable, friendly and did everything possible to make our trip one of the highlights of our vacation. Jeff had complementary refreshments, and we made many stops along the way to Monterey/Carmel for fantastic photos of the shoreline, sea lions, sea otters, surfers and beaches. He added information about the places we saw, like visiting Mission Ranch, and the cities we passed in route. We'd recommend any tour Jeff offers. We also took the Yosemite Tour with Jeff which was the highlight of our vacation! Again, Jeff was wonderful and we'll book more tours with him on our return to the San Francisco area. Will & Sylvia Upstate New York Sylvia D., United States, 03-2010
It was WONDERFUL! Sandra H., United States, 08-2009
This tour was outstanding in every way. Jeff Morgan, our tour operator, spent tremendous effort to make our day a very special one. He also let us customize our tour so that we were sure to see what interested us most in Monterey and Carmel and points along the way. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer all of our questions. Jeff allowed us numerous stops to run along the beach, enjoy a fabulous lunch, take walks around town, visit Pebble Beach, have drinks at Mission Ranch, and on and on. I can't say enough good things about Jeff and this trip. He made it interesting and fun. In addition, he provided snacks, chocolates, and wine along the way - all at no additional cost to us. We had a great day and never felt hurried. Jeff allowed us extra time, above and beyond, what we paid for. We were so impressed that we recommended Jeff to the hotel concierge where we were staying in San Francisco and also to a number of other folks on our Tauck tour. I hope this will bring Jeff some additional business. He deserves it!!!! Deborah L., United States, 08-2009
This was a beautiful drive and also very relaxing. I would recommend to anyone who has never experienced the Pacific Coast. Christine B., United States, 03-2009
The flexibility of the tour was evident. On top of that, our guide provided some very good suggestions to make the ride more interesting and enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable but never intrusive. Jaime A., , 10-2008
The beauty of this tour is the ability to taylor it to the groups preferences. You do not just have to see what they have planned but can add or subtract as suits your group. Also the opportunities to stay longer or shorter at sights and with the four wheel drive you can go to many places you can not on a coach. Kevin R., Australia, 02-2012
This tour experience was by far the best tour I have taken part in whilst in the USA. Jeff was fantastic and very knowledgeable with the surroundings. The transportation which he supplied was very comfortable and clean and the food and beverages he supplied were lovely. Would definitely take part in this tour again and well worth the money. Jesse S., Australia, 01-2012
From beginning to end, this was one of the best tour experiences ever. Telephone reservations staff were helpful in confirming the operator's availability on the one day we had available. Pick-up at our Oakland hotel was prompt, the vehicle was new and roomy, and Jeff, our guide, could not have been better. We saw most major Yosemite landmarks, had plenty of time for photos, and generally avoided crowds and traffic tie-ups in the park due to Jeff's superior knowledge. We even spotted a bear and her cub. We went in mid-June, when the timing and weather were perfect - all of the park roads were open and the temperatures were in the high 70's & low 80's. My only caution- because we wanted to see it all, it's a strenous day for seniors or anyone prone to motion sickness due to the altitude and winding roads. Don't miss this wonderful trip. Alana B., United States, 06-2011
Fabulous day trip to Yosemite - the guide/driver ensured our safety and comfort at all times and allowed us to see the areas we were most interested in. It was a long drive, but well worth it to see such a beautiful national park. Bring your hiking boots if you want to walk through the park, otherwise you will have to stick to the road. Patricia T., Australia, 12-2010
This was one of the best private tours we ever had. Jeff is an excellent tour guide. Peter E., United States, 06-2010
This was the second tour/trip in a week that we had with Jeff. The first tour was the Monterey, Pebble Beach, and Carmel Tour. During both trips Jeff was extremely knowledgeable, polite, friendly and very attentive. Jeff had complementary sodas, water, wine, champagne, and snacks. We made many stops along the way to take in the majesty of the mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Unlike the "bus/van" tours these trips were TOTALLY designed for my husband and me. We didn't have to wait for other people, we could take the time we wanted to enjoy everything we wanted to see and do. The cost was a little more than the bus tour but worth so much more! We'd recommend Jeff's private tours to anyone looking for a fantastic trip. We were lucky to spend 2 days with Jeff as we really enjoyed his company. We'll plan more trips with Jeff when we visit San Francisco again. Thanks Jeff for making our visit to San Francisco so memorable. Sylvia D., United States, 03-2010
This was a long day tour from San Fransicso to Yosemite - several hours of travel - but it was worth it! Yosemite is certainly 'awesome'. We were transported around in comfort which made the experience even more special. Caroline P., United Kingdom, 08-2009
We selected a private SUV tour to avoid having to wait for a large group of people who would have been part of a coach tour and to make the journey quicker. Jeff, our private guide, was a fantastic guy - we cannot speak highly enough of him or the tour itself to Yosemite - it cost us quite a bit but was worth ever penny. We had free drinks (beer and champagne which we weren't expecting. We had time to look around each site at our leisure, take lots of photos. In our view Yosemite is better than the Grand Canyon which we have been to twice. We will be returning to Yosemite for a longer stay in the future and will be looking to use Jeff again if possible. Great day - great guy David L., United States, 10-2008
Thanks to the expertise and capabilities of Geoff our Tour Guide/Chauffeur we were treated to a first class one day tour of everything Yosemite National Park had to offer. My daughter and I were both well looked after from start to finish and we owe him a debt of gratitude beyond words. CLIVE I., United States, 08-2008
Overall review. I was feeling poorly and still found the trip outstanding, due to our guide Jeff being friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, patient, reliable and trustworthy. We were picked up at 7am and was returned at 1am - overall we feel the trip was an absolute bargain! deana j., United Kingdom, 07-2007
My mother and I had only a limited amount of time so we knew we had to be selective about where and how much time to spend. Jeff was a great driver,he was knowledgeable about the area,flexible and pointed out cool places to go later in our trip.

We'd recommend Jeff's private tours to anyone looking for a fantastic trip. We were lucky to spend 2 days with Jeff as we really enjoyed his company. We'll plan more trips with Jeff when we visit San Francisco again. Thanks Jeff for making our visit to San Francisco so memorable. Sylvia D., United States, 03-2010
This was a long day tour from San Fransicso to Yosemite - several hours of travel - but it was worth it! Yosemite is certainly 'awesome'. We were transported around in comfort which made the experience even more special. Caroline P., United Kingdom, 08-2009
We selected a private SUV tour to avoid having to wait for a large group of people who would have been part of a coach tour and to make the journey quicker. Jeff, our private guide, was a fantastic guy - we cannot speak highly enough of him or the tour itself to Yosemite - it cost us quite a bit but was worth ever penny. We had free drinks (beer and champagne which we weren't expecting. We had time to look around each site at our leisure, take lots of photos. In our view Yosemite is better than the Grand Canyon which we have been to twice. We will be returning to Yosemite for a longer stay in the future and will be looking to use Jeff again if possible. Great day - great guy David L., United States, 10-2008
Thanks to the expertise and capabilities of Geoff our Tour Guide/Chauffeur we were treated to a first class one day tour of everything Yosemite National Park had to offer. My daughter and I were both well looked after from start to finish and we owe him a debt of gratitude beyond words. CLIVE I., United States, 08-2008
Overall review. I was feeling poorly and still found the trip outstanding, due to our guide Jeff being friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, patient, reliable and trustworthy. We were picked up at 7am and was returned at 1am - overall we feel the trip was an absolute bargain! deana j., United Kingdom, 07-2007
