Don't Miss this Tour!
Wonderful tour, all we hoped for and more. Dave was friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park, sharing history that even our lifelong San Francisco family members didn't know. With his help, we saw and heard birds of every kind and learned about how and where they live and feed and why. An unexpected bonus included the magnificent views of San Francisco from the top of Strawberry Hill. Can't wait to bring other friends and family back for this tour and others run by Beasts of the Bay.

Unique must do experience in SFO
It was such a different experience to have in urban city like SFO. A must do if you have any interest in wildlife/birding. Saw multiple lifers [néw species for me]. And got to know so much about the park. Much much recommended

Golden Gate Park tour
Great walking tour of the Golden Gate Park in SF! Dave, the Tour Guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the wild life of that park. I got to ask questions about things I had learned from a previous tour. I leave a great deal. Kudos to Dave!
Operator response
Thank you so much Sharon!!! It was a pleasure showing you around and hope to take you on the Twilight Tour next time you are in town!

Hidden Wildlife!
It was pleasantly surprising to see the different animals in Golden Gate Park! You hear about coyotes roaming the city streets, but to see them in their... natural environment? That's a different experience altogether. Dave intimately knew where to find coyotes, red-tailed hawks, and owls! (My favorite are the "buffalo", but they weren't freely roaming.) The park itself was nice all its own with its history and the uniqueness of each sections. One forgets it's in the middle of an urban environment. Dave helped us be in the right position to get photos, too. Really cool experience!
