Perfect tour! Do yourself a favor and take this tour!! See all the sights in great comfort with the incredibly knowledgeable guide. It’s like having a friend show you his city. Thank you Brian!

I loved the entire trip. So much details, so many moments, the guide was just an amazing person. It’s a must if you want to travel the San Francisco in a short time.

I rented and prepaid through Priceline. Less than 48 hours before arrival (the cancellation deadline), AVR called to say that I was returning our car after their van shuttle hours and would have to return it to the offsite location and catch a ride to the airport. The shuttle took an hour and 7 phone calls when we arrived, and they didn't seem to really care. Pay a little more and go with another company.

I was skeptical about going since my parents lived in SF for many years HOWEVER Brian, the tour guide, was amazing! He knows the city VERY well and showed me places I never knew existed! Brian is amazing and so easy to talk to. Don't miss this tour even if you think you know SF. Give it as a gift to someone !!

Ilona_F

Was a quiet nice tour with amazing impressions. The tour should last for four hours, but we missed Castro and - I think also - Twin Peaks. Maybe that was the reason that it only lasted 3 hours

James_K

The best tour I have ever been on. The pace, knowledge on city, snacks were all done with care. The number of stops was spot on for us. Highly recommend!

Susan_H

Saw everything important including all the neighborhoods and landmarks. Learned lots of background and insider tips! Just fun!

JasmineTravels512

This was a great way to see the city. I learned so much that I’m now (charmingly) annoying everyone I encounter with San Francisco factoids.

lovetotravelAtlanta

Brian was an excellent and very experienced guide. He would take us to a spot, pull over and tell us some history and show some photos. When walking, he had a good pace and good speaking voice. Price included snacks which was almonds, local tortilla chips and local sour dough bread-all very delicious. Water was also provided.
