The one tour trip you need in San Francisco

Published on Jan, 2025

A personalised tour of the major sights of San Francisco with a trip to Alcatraz at the end. Eric was lovely, very knowledgeable and built the tour around us - there were 5 of us on our day so it was more indiviualised than some of the larger tours can be. we all enjoyed the history, banter and the insights into this city. It was nice that Eric sent suggestions to us if we wanted to know about restaurants, shopping or other information

Fabulous small group tour is San Francisco

A great way to see San Fran!

Published on Oct, 2024

Eric is a really fun, informative and friendly tour guide. He was happy to fit the tour around what our small group was most interested in, had lots of local stories and anecdotes and tips on where to eat, how to get to other attractions etc. He was in contact with us before the tour date and was on time and professional! A great way to see San Fran and then go to Alcatraz in the afternoon.

Great tour! Highly recommend

Published on Oct, 2024

Eric was so personable and knowledgeable about all things San Francisco! He offered the group some flexibility in what we toured, answered all our questions, and made the tour fun! I would highly recommend this tour other visitors to San Francisco. Side note: wear comfortable shoes for the Alcatraz portion of the tour and, if visiting in the fall, dress in layers since conditions will vary throughout the tour.
