I recently went on a business trip with two of my business partners. We thought it would be easier…read moreto work with someone rather than arrange the tickets on our own, since it was the 3 of us and it was an international trip. Big mistake! Tour Arts booked a "Friends Fly Free" ticket for our international leg of the journey, which was completely non-changeable or refundable, unless both travelers did it at the same time. As it happened, our plans changed and there was nothing we could do about it! On the domestic leg of the journey, we were booked on a different airline, both direction, not only did we have to check in separately, but had to pay a separate baggage fee. Talk about adding insult to injury! At the end, I asked the agent to refund the booking fee of $50. I did get an explanation, which I didn't think was sufficient and when I expressed my continued dissatisfaction, all I got was an incredibly unprofessional and snarky email. I would have given an other chance to them after the mishap with the bookings as I didn't think it was done in bad faith, even though I thought they did a poor job. But getting attitude sealed the deal, it is no way to deal with customers and I believe is a terrible business practice, I will never recommend them or work with them again.

The ship is amazing, the crew completely friendly and upbeat, the view of SF, and the perspective on the Bay and the Bridge was different from anything on land. The overnight was spectacular: instant friends with the other folks, restaurant-quality food, and just a great adventure in less than 24 hours. Highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of joining Maria (and her cute pup Flora) in Mendocino for an uni class!!! It…read morewas a great day!! Maria explained why removing uni from the ocean is actually advantageous for the ecosystem, knew the rules of fishing (what we could & could not remove), and explained the entire process beautifully. Eating the uni right out of the ocean was delicious, and Maria had a campfire going to grill the uni up as well!! The fishing license was definitely needed, as rangers were there. You can collect up to 35 uni, so a larger mesh or other bag for collection is needed. A set of metal tongs and/or other utensil is recommended. Leather gloves, a knife and set of shears to cut into the uni after harvesting is helpful. And definitely a change of clothes/shoes! The uni you don't eat can be taken home & Maria is great at explaining that process as well.

Previously, we took the Freda B on the Wildlife Morning Sail in 2024, which was also fantastic. What makes the Freda B special is the crew. The vessel itself is gorgeous--even the "head" is great! From the moment you board and are greeted by the crew, you know you're in good hands. The safety instructions are thorough, and the crew immediately puts you at ease before setting off. Whether you have a clear night or a little fog (like tonight), the skies are beautiful, the Golden Gate Bridge is magical, and San Francisco twinkles in the distance. The crew meets your every need with kindness, excellent service, and genuine interest in you as a passenger. They're also an interesting bunch--just ask them about themselves!

Jacket + sweater/fleece, long pants, beanie hat, gloves if you have them. Blankets available onboard. This is SF Bay 12 months a year - always chilly and the sail is worth every layer of clothing.

We sailed out of Sausalito floating across the Bay. We went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz and Angel Island. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the views were absolutely beautiful!! One of my favorite parts was seeing SF from the water. The city, the Golden Gate, and the Bay Bridge all looked so tiny and beautiful in the distance. It was so fun waving to people on the shore and having people on the other boats wave back to us. It was just such a happy, fun, and delightful experience!! The crew was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the whole trip even better! We were lucky enough to join Wendy from Somatic Ecotherapy, and I'm so glad we got the opportunity to experience SF this way. By the end of the trip, my cheeks literally hurt from smiling so much!! It was just a genuinely delightful few hours, and I would absolutely recommend Captain Kirk's to anyone looking for a fun and memorable way to experience the Bay. I will happily do this again!

I knew in advance that on Thursdays (2nd & 4th weeks only), the public street parking in front of the building was off limits for street sweeping/no parking between 7am-11am, so I got very lucky pulling up in front at 11am sharp. Nice. Easy walk. The Foster Museum was very simple, decent, positive, and relaxing environment filled with gorgeous nature views/sketches/watercolor artworks by the U.K. artist, Tony Foster. Good feeling here. Free admissions and good customer service staffs. You can just walk in or register online. There's a tiny gift area not far from the public restrooms. I signed the guestbook at the end of my walk. Good place to hang around/includes unlimited paper, paper/pencils/samples/etc. If you like to sketch and get some creative inspirations, all the nature artworks in the gallery is definitely a good place to start. Not huge, but perfectly quite and calm for art lovers. You can request for an orientation and/or tour as desired. Great first impression during first visit. It's the positive feeling I get from observing the energy and various colorful artworks. Simple and stress-free. Good value/free admissions is totally worth the 1-2 hours here.
