Our Story.

Born in San Francisco. Only in San Francisco.

20 years ago, we started as a small company that loved showing off Yosemite Valley, Muir Woods, and the wine country just a short drive away. From behind the wheel of a single van in 2002, we would ask hotel and hostel guests, “Who wants to go explore?”

One 5-star tour at a time, Extranomical Tours built a respectable reputation as the best small tour operator in San Francisco. Today, we are bigger but Extranomical’s “travelling with friends” vibe is still flourishing.

We are teachers, comedians, memory-makers, crowd pleasers and travel consultants eager to help you to see more and do more while in San Francisco.

Our Guests.

We serve people who aspire to go where other tour companies don’t, like the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias; who want to customize their tour, perhaps with a gourmet lunch in the wine country; who want an unscripted experience to the diverse districts of our 49-square mile city; who want to be pampered with a hotel pickup; and who are open to striking up a friendship with someone from another part of the world.
