This was the highlight of my trip! Tara was personable, knowledgeable, fun, and everything quintessential San Francisco! Even with a disability this was a comfortable and accessible way to see and learn so much of the unique history of San Francisco. This is a must do, and we will be back!

As first times to San Francisco, this tour gave a great introduction to the city. Our guide, Ky, was fantastic, blending in history and tourist information. Highly recommend hanging in a hippie van for a few hours.

It was all in all a good time. My expectations were just high. Very friendly driver, and nice passengers. I just expected the music to be a bit louder at least so we could hear what was playing and passers by can also hear us coming and going. It was just a bit more dull than expected in that aspect. I also expected a larger van, but I did love the design of the van, very festive and historical. I don’t think it was worth the $87 per person, maybe $65 would be more realistic but hey we’re at war just like the 60s 😃✨

This was so much fun! As a hippie era fan, this was right up my alley. Our driver was on time, very knowledgeable, funny with wit & full of hippie-themed “dad jokes”, & seemed to really love her job.. The vintage van was exactly how it was described with the paint job and shag carpet, 60’s music when she wasn’t talking (which I love that she didn’t try to talk over the music!), & the roof windows were outlined with silk flowers. At first I thought, “I paid THAT much to ride in a small, old, metal van?” Then immediately after I thought it, my inner self realized, “it’s part of the authenticity and charm. You dressed the part, so step back in time & enjoy it, dummy.” And THAT, I did & loved every minute of it! We saw everything listed in the description, and the driver was happy to take photos of my daughter and me at the Golden Gate Bridge with the van. She was courteous by opening & closing the van doors at every in & out stop. The only thing that could’ve made it any better is if she had dressed the part as well. Not complaining at all though. It would’ve just been the icing on the cake. It was far more intimate than the crowded big bus tours and we could go places a big bus can’t, like Lombard street, where she said the by standers loves when the Love Bus comes through. And sure enough, they absolutely did…snapping photos & videos, waving, smiling. The driver had her window down & interacting with them with ✌🏻 out the window, and being 100% in the moment myself, I had my ✌🏻 at the window as well with a smile. My daughter is not as much of a hippie era fan as I am, and even SHE said she could ride in that van all day! It was the best part of our day!

My wife and I loved this tour! Would highly recommend this to anyone. It was a great way to get introduced to the city of San Francisco! Our tour guide, the cousin we didn’t know we had, Cyrus was amazing. Can’t say enough good things about him. We loved that he was born and raised in the area. He had a whole lifetime of stories and experiences that really helped bring some of the areas we saw to life. Driving around giving peace signs as we rode in the 1970 VW Bus was fun! Totally worth every penny!!

Saturdays can be alittle crazy if you are on a time crunch. Kai was very accommodating and took us directly to our cruise ship. He was an entertaining driver and made it an enjoyable experience. I totally recommend.
