Joyous Journey

This was a fun tour. Our guide was fabulous! He was personable and knowledgeable. He also stopped at the best restrooms, when needed. Even though the tour is only 2 hours it was a well planned 2 hours. We had a stop at the Palace of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate Bridge for an extended photo session. We drove through Haight-Ashbury, The Presidio National Park and down the steepest hill in San Francisco. Those were just the highlights. I would do this tour again!

All you need is “Love” (the SF tour)

We grew up in the Bay Area and still live close to SF. We just happened to see your love van a few years back. Though we did not take your tour at that time we met Tara She made quite a wonderful impression on us. Skip ahead to now, we decided to take our friends from Nevada to tour with you, in hopes we’d have Tara as our guide. Don’t you just love when a plan pulls together? Tara was at her finest. She is so knowledgeable about “the city”, a great driver and very funny indeed !! Thank you, Tara for making our day very special , with you in the driver’s seat. We hope to see you again soon with other friends Mike and Lillian Downing

Fun tour on the “hippie” bus!

We saw parts of San Francisco we never would have seen on a “regular” tour. Our driver, Terra, was informative and a lot of fun!
