We unfortunately missed the bus due circumstances out of our control. Despite numerous attempts to reach the mobile listed as a contact we were unsuccessful. We would have caught up somewhere along the route but this became impossible to organise.

Monique_L

We had a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She knew and answered our questions in a very professional way .

David_H

It was a great trip, booked last minute. Saw a lot of sights, the guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. The only thing I'd say is I wish the bus would pause, even for a few seconds so there is more opportunity to take photos when sights are pointed out.

First time visit to SFO and it was worth every penny. Excellent tour to take for understanding the history of SFO and knowing the important places. Stoppages at all important locations and enough time given for roaming around.

Chaitra_N

I totally enjoyed the SFO City tour with informative tour guide Michelle and ever smiling driver Tony. The bus stopped at important spots, went slow around places that had significance and got to learn so much about SFO which would have got missed if ventured on own. Definitely recommend this trip for first time tourists.

Bruce_K

Awesome driver and guide. Saw new parts of San Francisco that are hard to get to and you might miss on your own. Lots of walk around, and bathroom stops. Driver navigated Golden Gate Park driving through a 100,000 person festival so we could see the park.
