Custom Private Tour in Convertible MINI Cooper

Overview

You're in a special city. Why take an ordinary tour? This is the ONLY convertible MINI Cooper tour in the country!

This tour is totally customizable – you choose the length of the tour, what time you want to be picked up, and what you want to see.

I love San Francisco and have spent 20 years studying and exploring the city. I’ll work with you to plan your tour so you can see the famous sites and the hidden gems other tours can't go to or don't know about. I’ve designed this to be the type of tour I would take if I visited San Francisco, but where you go is up to you. I make suggestions along the way, but how long you spend at any site is up to you. You're never rushed, and never have to wait for other people. It's all about you!

Plus, it's fun! In the convertible MINI Cooper, you see everything up close and personal as we drive along.

I love showing guests San Francisco, and talking about the history and culture of this unique and special city.

What To Expect

Coit Tower

See the murals and views the bay and Golden Gate Bridge. How much time you spend is up to you.

Painted Ladies

Call it Postcard Row, the Painted Ladies, or the Full House houses, everyone loves seeing this site in person. And if you want to get out and take a picture, you can. As with all locations, if you want to get out is up to you.

Presidio of San Francisco

Drive through this former Army base turned national park. Stop and see the Yoda statue if you want.

North Beach

Learn the history and culture of this neighborhood that is a favorite of locals and visitors alike.

Lombard Street

If the time is right and there isn't too much traffic (usually weekend and holiday afternoons) we drive down the famous crooked st. If we can't drive down, we can at least drive by, and get out for photos if you want to.

Chinatown

Drive through this neighborhood, and learn about its history and culture. As I talk about the architecture, you can look up an see it as we drive through in the convertible MINI Cooper.

Haight-Ashbury

Drive down the street made famous in the 1960's, and learn why the music and culture made resonated around the world.

Golden Gate Park

Drive through the park, see the museums and the Japanese Tea garden. Guests enjoy driving through and learning the history of this urban garden created on top of 1,017 acres of sand. If open, there is an opportunity to go into the observation tower of the DeYoung museum.

Twin Peaks

Experience a spectacular view of the entire city, the Bay, and if the weather is clear, bridges as far south as Silicon Valley and up near the wine country.

16 Avenue Tiled Steps

The 16th Ave Tiled steps are only part of what you can see. I can show you a lesser known but equally as impressive tiled staircase, and what these staircases looked like before they were transformed into this urban art piece.

Mission District

See Mission Dolores, the Mission Murals, and location of what may be the best burritos in city.

I was visiting San Francisco for the first time and spent countless hours researching places to see and tour companies. After reading reviews online, my husband and I decided on this company. It ended up being the best part of our vacation! Reed personally customizes your itinerary based on what you want to see and how long you want the tour to be. The best part? You ride around in a cute Mini Cooper convertible, not a crowded bus for five hours! We got to see so much of the city and learned so much history. Because of Reed, my husband and I got a lot of great pictures and happy memories of San Francisco. He's a great guy with a great car! You can't go wrong booking with him!

We spent 3 nights in San Fran and wanted to see as much as we could in a short time. We wanted to see/do some things that a big bus tour just can't do (Lombard Street, ride through China town), stop for pictures where we wanted to-back up if we missed something. Small car big time tours was THE tour to take! The mini cooper is awesome, we are plus-sized people but fit comfortably in the back. Reed is an AWESOME tour guide; the tour is customized to do what YOU want and see what YOU want to see; Reed can also give suggestions and took us to places that we would have been sad to miss. He stops for as long as you would like. (we spent and hour at Muir Woods!) Reed gives a great commentary, answers questions, takes pictures and is just a great guide! HIGHLY recommend this tour!!

My wife and I visited San Francisco for the very first time. Wanting to take in as much as possible of the city and its sights we booked tours with three different well-rated companies. We saved the Small Car Big Time Tour until last; so glad we did. There was no comparison. (The first tour was an incredible failure. The second was professional and nice.) Reed and his Mini Cooper convertible were amazing! He prepared us well (bring your sunglasses & hats), picked us at our hotel, customized the itinerary based on our personal interests, kindly accommodated a last minute request (a true gentlemen), shared our love for architecture, and exceeded every expectation! It was simply unforgettable. Our (four-hour) Small Car Big Time Tour was *the* highlight of our two-week California trip. The next time we fly out to SFO for a few days, we'll book with Reed again. He is *the* best!!!
