5.00Chris did a fantastic job, and his love for the city of San Francisco shines through. His knowledge is comprehensive, the electric VW is extremely comfortable, his route through the city hits all the highlights and more, and Chris dials in the details to the preferences of his guests. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00The best way to see a bunch of San Francisco neighborhoods, landmarks and famous sights all in 3 hours. The experience was very comfortable, The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the whole experience was amazing. We saw so many things that we would never have the time and organization skills to see if we did this by uber or car rental. Highly recommend this company!
