Fantastic Tour!

Fantastic tour! We traveled with 4 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids. Our tour guide (Sully) taught us a so much about San Fran and the surrounding areas - history, culture, architecture, art, and so much more! Sully even had a curated playlist of songs about or recorded in the area. He was entertaining and so knowledgeable - we leaned so much about the area that we otherwise never would have known. It was a great way to see many great sights without having to worry about driving & parking. HIGHLY recommend!

The highlights of San Francisco!

The tour was a perfect blend of San Francisco to see the highlights when you are short on time. We didn’t do Alcatraz that day so the tour is only about 5 hours.

Our guide jokingly called this a “sampler platter” of San Francisco. A lot of info and sights in a short amount of time. It’s a great intro to the city or if you will not be there for long.
