Our guide was informed and gave us good time at each stop, We loved Presido and definitely worth a visit. Definitely would recommend.

5.00Dylan did a great job showing us interesting places. It was especially cool because he’s actually from San Francisco, so he showed us some local places to go and restaurants with a mix of locals and tourists.

5.00Amazing! The small-group tour felt very comfortable and relaxed. The guide’s explanations were very detailed, and it was also the only city tour that actually drove through Lombard Street — a unique and very cool experience!

5.00Aaron was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of the city that we would not have been able to tour with a regular bus. He even gave us his personal cell phone number, so we could call if we had any questions traveling down Hwy 101.

5.00Our family of four had the BEST experience on this tour. We were traveling with our two kids (ages 7 and 10), and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco. Seeing the city through a local’s eyes made such a difference. Our guide shared stories, history, and little details about neighborhoods that we never would have noticed on our own. It felt personal, authentic, and much more meaningful than just checking off tourist spots. The open air van made the whole experience even more fun. The kids loved being able to see everything clearly, feel the breeze, and take in the views of the city and bay. It made every stop and drive between locations exciting instead of feeling like a typical tour. Highly recommend!
