Brendan was wonderful! Full of knowledge, humor, and provided little touches like water and snacks. We saw so much of the city to make the rest of our trip efficient and memorable.

This was by far the best tour we have been on during our holiday in the US. We loved that the tour included so much of what we wanted to see in San Francisco. Shoutout to our tour guide Brendan, he was awesome, such a character and he made our trip so much fun! SF Excursions should be the only company you choose to book a tour to see the main attractions San Francisco. If we could give it 10 stars we would!!

It was a really great tour. They were very accommodating in regards to third party tickets. Per was very informative and enthusiastic and energetic the whole trip. It’s a more intimate tour. We took it it the last day of our trip, but would recommend to do it the first day to get an idea of whether to do the rest of your trip.

Fantastic tour with loads of information about SF! Per was my guide and he was excellent! Helpful and knowledgeable and friendly! This tour was comfortable and just the right amount of time. I was able to explore at Muir Woods National Forest and Salsilido. We stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge and The Palace of Fine Arts as well as Lyon Street Steps in Pacific Heights. Great tour for a Solo traveler!

I went on this tour with my 5 year old and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Per was both personable and well-informed. I have visited this city many times in the past but learned new things from Per. To put it in my daughter’s words: “well that was a great tour, huh mom?!”

It was a fun trip. The entire time was enjoyable for the family. One thing to remember: if you have a national park pass, bring it along.

Sully was an incredible guide and had a great tour with my 18 yr old daughter. Perfect blend of information, history, humor and the sites were worth it.
