Fun way to tour San Francisco. The van drives through streets that big buses can’t. Guide was very knowledgeable.

Caio and Daisy were the best! Caio gave a great, informative tour! He was also fun and we had the best time! The stops were great and he took the best pictures!

Our driver, I think it was Big Al, was the best!! We got to see all of the area within 2 hours. I was hoping to go on the GG bridge but it got close. It was very foggy though and we couldn’t see much. But I would definitely recommend this tour!

We did this tour the morning after we arrived in San Francisco. The tour enabled us to orientate ourselves quickly. Our tour guide Jacks knowledge of the city was tremendous. Every sight had a story and he answered all our questions. The tour is relaxed and fun and is a must to get an overview of the city so you better plan your time here. Highly recommend it

You need to do this tour !! What could be bettter than an excellent guide (Caio) along with a sweet girl (Daisy, the 1973 Volks van) Caio shared his knowledge and love for the city at every turn .. and there were many !! So glad to have experienced highlights of the city this way !
