A wonderful tour of Golden Gate Park and CA Academy of Sciences! - My friend and I had a great time on this tour! There are so many interesting things to see and do in Golden Gate Park and Maggie, our tour guide, knew them all! The route covers some of the most memorable things to see in the park and ended with a fantastic (and informative) tour of the CA Academy of Sciences. I highly recommend this tour!

- Lovely walking tour through Golden Gate Park, and a very cool behind-the-scenes look via the VIP tour at the Cal Academy of Sciences. I learned a lot of about hidden areas of Golden Gate Park that I didn't know about (like Shakespeare's Garden and more), thanks to our wonderful guide Maggie who was a great host - funny, friendly, and thoughtful! Our Cal Academy guide was also very knowledgeable and open to questions so both parts of the tour were filled with fun discoveries!

- Fantastic tour with Maggie! This tour has everything you want to know about Golden Gate Park-and more! Maggie had a ton of information and fun facts about GGP and the route was beautiful. The VIP tour of the Academy afterwards was great, too-we got to see into how the Academy researches and stores their collections-and even got to see where they store thousands of their fish (and other creatures) samples! I highly recommend this tour, very fun!
