This was a great tour. We saw so many things we never knew were in San Francisco along with all the sites we hoped to see. Our guide was so informative and kept the tour interesting.

This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

This was an amazing way to see the city! Cyrus knew a lot of history and was hilarious. The ride was very comfortable and he was very kind to my mother who has some mobility issues. Took lots of great pictures as well. Would highly recommend this experience!

Most enjoyable two hours of out SF vacation. Our tour guide Tara was fun, funny, knowledgeable, and a half dozen more adjectives including being a safe driver. It was "the highlight" of our trip for all six of us. Tourist: Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We booked a 4 hour private tour - 4 people (3 have been to SF before, 1 was a first time visitor). Dave was our driver & made our tour informative and fun. and was very accommodating to our interests, schedule & needs. The VW van gets a lot of attention. This is a great way to see the city - nothing but fun, start to finish!

Tara was amazing and fabulous. She knew so much about San Fransisco and was the best guide we could have hoped for.
