My son and I were in town to look at a college and wanted to get an idea of how the city felt. Our tour was perfect and we felt like we had seen everything at least once and now we know what we want to go back to see more of like Pier 39 and China Town.

Randy did a fantastic job of showing us his SFO. Lots of personal touches like the suggestion of a Chrissy at Golden Gate Souvenir shop. We were a small group of 4 visitors so got to know Randy and our fellow tourists from Wales.

Even though the tour guide decided where he was going to pick me up, he never showed up. I had just one day in San Francisco, for me it was more than a waste of money. Terrible experience in such a lovely city.

Great Trip!
Shafia_R

We had to reschedule our tour for the following day as our flight got cancelled in the last minute. Pick up and drop off was great. Driver was friendly. Things we enjoyed the most was the - 1.Tour guide who was very knowledgable about the history of each and every neighborhood in the downtown and history of development of San Francisco's different cultures. 2. He also gave us the tips on which restaurants or coffee shops were the best and reasonable in prices to try. Con were- 1. In stops mentioned in Viator.com itinerary , Coit Tower and Sutra heights were mentioned as 10 to 15 min stops there. We did not stop at either of them. They had also mentioned to pass by Lombard street. I wish we could have driven through it. It was a little disappointing that we had to miss those 3 main attractions. It was def a 5 start trip if we could spend some time in Coit Tower enjoying the city views and driving through Lombard street. Otherwise it was a great tour, best stop was the Fort from where you could capture the golden gate best view.
