This was an absolutely fantastic tour, and a great way to spend the first day in town! Eric is a brilliant tour guide, very professional, friendly, and definitely knows his stuff.
You should expect a comfortable ride along the tour as you learn a lot and enjoy some top quality jokes from Eric himself!
The weather was perfect for some great photo opportunities, especially stopping off for some lunch in the park at Alamo Square to take in the views of the city 👌
100% would recommend this tour it doesn’t disappoint, thanks again Eric!

We had an amazing day exploring San Francisco on this tour. Our guide, Eric, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Eric made sure we saw the highlights of San Fran in our short stay.

Eric is exactly what I hope to experience in a guide. Knowledgeable about the city, caring and passionate, and he's very attentive towards his guests.
When we entered the unique tour bus, we all had blankets at the ready. SF can get chilly so it was great that we had them. I barely used mine though since the sun came out and it was a gorgeous day!
It blew my mind that every place he took us there was an amazing view of the city. We saw it from an island across the bay, then from a park on top of a hill, and then from the streets as we explored the ritzy area of the city. I could never have walked all of those places.
Eric was very conscious to point out every restroom and make sure we were comfortable the whole way through. Thanks Eric for an epic day in SF!

This was an amazing tour! Eric was a joy to spend the morning with. He took time to get to know everyone and told us about anything and everything. We stopped off at perfect locations and Eric even helped us take some photos. We were dropped on with perfect timing for the ferry over to Alcatraz too.
We stopped off at the market for lunch and there was a huge selection there for everyone. I was celebrating a belated birthday and Eric brought us all cupcakes so we could celebrate.
Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone, even if you've been there before I'm sure he'll tell you something new!

Eric was amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and funny. Asked us if there was anything special we wanted to see on the tour so that he could cater to individual requests. Would highly recommend

For my first day in town, this was a fantastic introduction to San Francisco! Eric is a very friendly and professional guide - couldn't recommend this tour highly enough.

Eric was very personable and knows his stuff. I liked the fact that he asked the group if there was a particular place we wanted to go. He is thoughtfull as well. His van is open on both sides and he provided blankets for us. Additionally, he offered my wife & I very good suggestions on where to eat both in San Francisco as well as where to get Hog Island Oysters in Marin (?) county. The tour was a very good value and i would recommend it highly. Oh & the place we all went to eat Lunch was great as well.
