Great fun and experience

It was a fantastic time. John and AJ were excellent tour guides. We went to multiple places and had a great time. Would recommend this trip to anyone that’s in the Fire service or just wants to have a good time.

Fabulous

This tour was fabulous! What’s not to enjoy about being driven around San Francisco on the back of a vintage fire engine?! Driver John and Tour Guide Gail were great fun, as well as being very knowledgeable. You get to go to places that the usual bus tours can’t get to - and a breezy ride across the Golden Gate Bridge was a memory to last a lifetime. Highly Recommended.

Brilliant tour and great fun

Absolutely a brilliant tour, John and Gail were so friendly and informative. I’d been looking forward to do this tour and it did not disappoint. So much more than we expected and some lovely photo opportunities as well. The fireman’s coats were needed over the bridge!! Would definitely recommend 100%

A most interesting Fire Truck tour

We arrived at the pick up point shortly before we were requested to attend. John and Don arrived ahead of schedule and greeted us with warm smiles. The Fire Truck looked great in the morning sunshine with the red and chrome glistening. We boarded the truck and we're provided with a great visual and audible tour provided by Don throughout the experience, highlighting many of the more unknown facts about San Francisco. Don was an amusing and fun host who helped give the tour a special something, giving us advice around local transport services and additional tourist locations. The trip across the Golden Gate Bridge was spectacular although could be quite cold for some with the winds picking up. Jackets are provided for those who need them. We were fortunate to have dry clear skies all the way across with many pictures taken. Overall a must do trip if you want to explore both San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Five Stars was an easy option!

A fun and unique way to see the Golden Gate!

I’ve been to San Francisco a ton of times and seemingly have done it all. But then I stumbled across this activity and I’m so glad I booked it. What a fun and unique experience. The only better way to experience the Golden Gate would be walking across it. I absolutely would do this tour again and even suggested it to my boss for an activity for an upcoming group meeting
