Excellent tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Buddy was hugely informative and a great tour guide for this trip. It was delivered at a really nice pace and I saw so much of the city and learned a great deal. Got the opportunity to get some great pictures too. A really nice way to spend the afternoon.

BUDDY IS THE BEST!

Personalized tour

The thing I like best about the small group tour was that our guide was open to deviating from the set plan and taking us on some experiences that people wanted to do, but were off the beaten track. We drove over the Bay bridge to Yerba Buena Island, and we went to a park up on the top of a hill that someone wanted to see. The only downside was that the van was pretty cramped, even for only eight people, but other than that, it was great.

Great driver and tour guide. Did not feel hurried at all. Showed us the sites and gave great commentary on the different spots. Had time to get out of van for pics.

An afternoon to remember
