Amazing way to explore SanFran.

Published on Jan, 2025

Caio was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to so many areas and neighborhoods that made the experience better than what we expected

Awesome experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We were a big group so we had both buses and had a great time. We were able to see so many interesting places in San Francisco. The views were amazing and we took great pictures with the help of our awesome tour guides Caio and Chris. Totally worth it. I will definitely recommend this tour.

San Francisco painted ladies VW bus tour

Published on Dec, 2024

This 2 hour tour was absolutely perfect for the limited time we had to explore San Francisco! Chris was extremely informative and funny, we learned so much history from him and discovered little areas that we hadn’t heard of before our trip to San Francisco. Buttercup (the vw bus we were lucky enough to tour in) was beautifully looked after, she provided great photo opportunities!

Fun and hilarious

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic tour. Jim is hilarious and very educational. Saw a ton of interesting places. Got good food recommendations, which were used.

Great way to see San Francisco

Published on Oct, 2024

We did a four hour private tour with 5 people and it was amazing! We saw everything on our list, and so much more. One of us is a 40 resident of San Francisco and even she visited areas and learned things she never knew. Our guide Jim was great, and Pearl was a fun ride!
