See a lot with less time

Ahmed_E, Mar 2023

The 6 hours tour with Brandon was a perfect opportunity to discover San Francisco and its surrounding with limited time. Brandon was knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. I highly recommend! I also recommend Venise restaurant in Sausalito, the food was great and the staff were friendly.

Great experience

Alex was a great tour guide with a wealth of knowledge on the area! Even with the weather not cooperating he made some adjustments.

Even in the rain...

My two nieces, both in their twenties wanted to see San Francisco for the first time. It was pouring down rain, but Brendan still made it a fun and interesting day. He includes lots of the city's unusual history. They loved it and so did I.

Great Tour

My wife is a business owner of a travel agency and was a little sad because we were not able to make a reservation to the Yosemite National Park. Then she started to look on internet about something to do in San Francisco and she found this tour and it was excellent. We saw the main attractions to see in SF and we found this trip enjoyable. Thank you to Alex that took us to the best places.

🤩 fun

Cayla_S, Feb 2023

Great for traveling solo if you want to see the city in a reasonable amount of time and not worry about parking or directions

The guide, Brendan , was incredible.

Dinah_S, Feb 2023

Far more than we expected! Overall view of the city with stop off points for photos and short walks. We loved every moment of this tour.

See it all in 6 hours

Evelyn_W, Jan 2023

Great way to see all of San Fran in half a day. Tour is a bad long BUT 100% worth it! We purchased based off the reviews and I am adding to the 5 star reviews. Muir woods was awesome!

Worth it!

Anthony_D, Jan 2023

Brendan is true San Franciscan who takes his tour to heart. Very pro and very cool at the same time. This tour is really worth it in time and money.

Beautiful San Francisco

Yolanda_M, Dec 2022

Brendan (sp?) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and interactive with everyone on the tour. The tour itself was beautiful of course, it’s San Francisco.

Great excursion

Marta_V, Dec 2022

The excursion is just great to see as much as possible in one day. Our guide was really nice and helpful.

Easy and great way to see the city!

This is a great way to see the city! Brendan was a super informative and personable tour guide! I was a solo traveller and I had a blast.

Overall experience was...

Jennifer_M, Nov 2022

Overall experience was great. Brandon reminded us of the time but was flexible enough when we were 2 minutes late. Small group tour is the way to go.

A must do tour!

Ilene_M, Oct 2022

Excellent tour; our tour guide, Brandon, was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Everything was as described and on time. We had a great time! Thanks Brandon.

One of the best tours ever!

MARIA_P, Oct 2022

Got to see so much in one trip! Didn’t have to worry about planning things out, driving, and finding parking. Brendan is from SF and new all the history, all the places to stop, and incredible views. Plus great personality to boot! One of the best tours ever. Highly recommend!

Informative and fun!

shanaz_k, Oct 2022

The whole tour was amazing, so much was fit into it. The best thing to do if like myself you aren’t in SF for long, or even if you want to pack a lot into your trip. Very informative and fun!

San Fran, Sausalito and Muir Wood in one day. If flew by!

David_P, Oct 2022

Alex, Alex, Alex! We can’t say enough about Alex. Being born and raised in San Fran, he was full of stories and great advice about the rest of our stay in San Fran. This is the perfect tour to do on your first day. It started with a great tour of the city and included recommendations for shopping, restaurants and cocktails to suit every taste. Then we had a lunch stop for a great lunch on the water in Sausalito. Thanks to Alex’s recommendation. Ended the day at Muir Woods which was our first experience seeing Redwoods. Awesome! Great tour and ask for Alex. He’ll make sure you are comfortable and is a great story teller.
