5.00They were so helpful to me. I was the only one on this tour and they helped me when my flight had been canceled and when I ended up in CBD instead of the usual pickup stop. Natalie was a knowledgeable and caring guide. I would love to do it again.

5.00Robbie excellent tour guide. Cable car was not in use as it was being serviced but the driver took us to the top and we had marvellous views. Lovely coffee shop at the top. Lots of interesting history and tour of the city and the surrounding Bay Area. Worthwhile tour.
