This Should Be Your First Tour of San Francisco - Whilst we had other plans for today, we decided to do this tour and the change of plans was a stroke of luck. Brian provided a tour that not only showed the sites but gave you a feel of the city. Through his knowledge and manner, you couldn’t wait to learn something new. If you intend on visiting San Francisco, make no plans other than this tour. Because you’ll want to change your plans once Brian shows you the soul of the city. His suggestions on things to do and experience will mean you need weeks to explore all the things and places you’ll learn about. I was a reluctant visitor to San Francisco but after this tour, we are planning our next trip.

Afternoon distraction - The experience was well worth the it. The guide was a native and was well versed in the local points of interest, history and trivia. Ask for Brian he is the best.

All the best of SF - We explored Coit Tower, Chinatown, Financial District, Civic Center, Golden Gate Park, Crissy Field, Marina District, Haight-Ashbury, Palace of Fine Arts, Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, Sutro Baths, and Alamo Square. Brian provided a wealth of knowledge about San Francisco and took us to some unscripted stops (we saw homes that were more colorful than the "painted ladies" of Alamo Square. The van is unmarked, very comfortable, and the best part was the video screen which displayed pictures of historic San Francisco, celebrity residents, local wildlife and much more.

San Francisco by van - Brian was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to most of the “must see” sites. Highly recommended!

Don’t miss tour of San Francisco - It’s a very well run & reasonably priced tour in a very comfortable van through most of the tourist sights in the City. I live here & saw things I have never noticed before. The tour guide is very knowledgeable & professional & also gives you tasty snacks appropriate to the area such as fortune cookies in Chinatown. You have breaks at several spots to stretch your legs or hit a restroom. I learned a lot that I didn’t know & in future will send all my guests on this tour instead of driving them around myself. I would highly recommend this tour & all my guests were very pleased with it. He does not drive by or go down the so called “crookedest street” but you can easily do that on your own.
