Exception tour provided by Brian. Prompt , friendly meeting at Pier 39 then the tour began. So much to see, no rushing, loads of information, history and knowledge of the area. Brian’s enthusiasm for his city is profound and makes him THE best tour guide and a wonderful ambassador for San Francisco. His car is spotless and comfortable and he provided “local nibbles” for the tour. We highly recommend this tour and enjoyed going where the busses couldn’t !!!

Ronald_A

Brian was an excellent guide and the theme that he has designed is one of its kind which allows the first time visitors (like us) to get the complete feel of SF in short time.

Bill_T

Brian was the best. His local knowledge was amazing. He made the tour extremely interesting and fun.

Cheryl_C

Great tour and Brian was an excellent host. He was very personable, extremely knowledgeable of the area and made it fun. Snacks were really good also.

VictoriaL_A

My group enjoyed our afternoon tour of San Francisco with Brian. He shared a wealth of information about the various sites and areas throughout the City. It was the perfect way to see SF without the hassle of large groups and buses.

Ken_L

Brian was an awesome narrator with a lot of fun facts and figures. Van got us to a lot of great venues that a larger tour bus couldn’t or wouldn’t. . Going with a smaller tour company like Brian and his company, The San Francisco Tour Company, was a lot more personal and educational. You can see Brian’s experience as a former guide for National Geographic come through. No shortage of information and tips.

Eleanor_V

Brian was so knowledgeable, pleasant & accommodating on everything in SanFrancisco. Pace of tour was relaxing. We learned so much history of SanFrancisco that we were not aware of. We loved everything about this tour.

Adrian_B

Super tour director. Very congenial, knowledgeable. He personalized the tour. Fast moving but at a páce that was just right. He provided snacks and water. He was able to take us to places that larger tour vans/buses do not have access to. We were more than happy the the cost. He supplemented what we saw with many photos and video clips which added a lot. Hardto imagine a better tour. Highly recommended.
