Absolutely cool pilot. The weather was average. Experience San Fransisco in summer as late as possible by sightseeing flight! There is often fog until noon! From 4:00 p.m. the probability of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge increases. The organization was still very good and relaxed. The airport is in Okland, so plan your arrival correctly. We used public transport from SF. That worked ... but is a bit time consuming.

Fun, spectacular scenery, and very safe/thorough

Our guise was the Head Pilot at Hayward Flight - he flew us over the Oakland/Berkeley hills, then across the Bay over Alcatraz (far out of the flight paths of the main airports), over Sausalito and Tiburon, and then 2 big loops over the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands area. Before heading back, we got a closer look at the new Salesforce Tower and other skyscrapers under construction. Highly recommend! You get much more than the described 1-hour ride.
