We had a wonderful overview of San Francisco, a city which my husband and I had visited before, but which our daughters had not. We were able to customize the tour with the things we most wanted to see and Eric wove it all together in a comprehensive jaunt. Additionally, Eric has a great personality and made the trip even more fun! When we go back, we won't hesitate to ask Fogcutter Tours to take us to see the many areas that we didn't have time for in the 2023 trip.

Eric from Fogcutter Tours was excellent, as there was only 3 of us, it was practically a private tour. Eric was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I had booked him based on previous reviews and he lived up to them. A great way of seeing the different districts of the city.

This was our second tour in a week with Eric and it was even more special than the first. This was a private tour of the Muir Woods, Marin county and Sausilto. We loved the drive across the bridge and the scenery to and from the Muir Woods was spectacular. The highlight of the tour was the 30 min seaplane ride across the bay from a cute village surrounded by house boats. This was followed by a fresh customized picnic lunch and champagne. Eric was yet again a fantastic host and we really appreciated his company and insights on the tour. We would highly recommend this tour.

Eric was informative and entertaining. He truly knows the city well - lots of unusual facts. In terms of scheduling and figuring out the spots our group wanted to see, he was very easy to work with. Since I do most of our family's driving, it was wonderful getting to be a passenger as we explored the city!

Great tour and fantastic tour guide! Evereything right from the minute i enquire until I finally decided to book was first class. I knew right away that I was dealing with someone that wanted to please. Eric was a lot of fun and made an obvious effort to get to know everyone on the tour and make the experience excellent for all of us. He asked about everyone’s visits and journeys and was very engaging with everyone on the trip. I recently visited Rome and used the Viator group and was very disappointed on two excursions and slightly discounted on the other. I had read some reviews on YouTube and there was positive feedback on Eric so it was an easy decision knowing he was doing the tour. With the other groups you don’t know who your getting where as here it’s Eric and I like that. My expectations were high and he easier exceeded those. Great tour, great context, great variety and an all around great experience. trip. Definitely a worthwhile tour and a stellar way to see all the different parts of SF with a tour guide/owner who genuinely puts in the effort to make the experience memorable and stress-free. 10/10 recommend.

Eric is a great, friendly, knowledgeable person. Listens to clients to give a more personal tour. Stopped at a great place for us to get lunch. We arrived at the ferry to enjoy Alcatraz having made friends in the group. If you want a more intimate group to see the sights and learn the history of San Francisco I would recommend Eric he made my Birthday unforgettable. Thank you
