A Great Way To See San Francisco

Arlene_N, Aug 2021

Bryan was great! His little tidbits of information were interesting and fun. He offered to show us places that weren’t part of the actual tour which we all appreciated. He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and as ready for our adventure as we all were!!! And this tour isn’t just to show movie locations. We saw so much of what’s iconic about San Francisco too…
