Our tour guide Valerie and driver Roger were awesome. This tour was so much fun and we had an awesome experience. I got to see and learn so much about San Fran I can’t wait to come back.
My adult daughters and I were visiting San Francisco for the first time and this was the perfect tour to start things off. We traveled all over San Fransisco and learned about the history and the cultures of the different neighborhoods, as well as the architecture. And sites made famous on TV and in the movies. We traveled more of the city then we ever would have been able to do on our own. We made a few stops to get off for photo ops ...one of which was after having crossed the Golden Gate Bridge!. Fun time in the open trolley...but chilly...make sure you have a sweater....and a hair tie for the wind! There is an enclosed area of the trolley...but it was so much more fun with the wind in your hair and a blanket(provided by the tour) on your lap! I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour. Able to see a lot of the city. City Hall stop seems like filler but otherwise the rest of the tour is fantastic.
We only had a brief time in San Francisco so chose to see the city on a cable car with wheels. We met near Fisherman's Wharf on a Sunday morning to begin the four-stop tour: City Hall, Haight-Ashbury area, Alamo Square near the Painted Ladies, and across the Golden Gate Bridge at Vista Park. The guide was informative. A great use of time.
Excellent tour! Each member of our party of six enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the city. We covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Corina, our tour guide, and Igor, our driver, were engaging, witty and knowledgeable. This is perfect tour if you are new to SF and are trying to prioritize where you want to spend more time. Great for kids too!
