Excellent experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Did many guided tours all over the world but this one rated in the top three. Michelle, the tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge and had such interesting and in-depth information that I could listen to her all day. She was excellent! Her driver, Jack, was a safe and skilled driver, navigating the San Francisco traffic effortlessly.

Excellent introduction to The City.
