Caio was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to so many areas and neighborhoods that made the experience better than what we expected

We were a big group so we had both buses and had a great time. We were able to see so many interesting places in San Francisco. The views were amazing and we took great pictures with the help of our awesome tour guides Caio and Chris. Totally worth it. I will definitely recommend this tour.

This 2 hour tour was absolutely perfect for the limited time we had to explore San Francisco! Chris was extremely informative and funny, we learned so much history from him and discovered little areas that we hadn’t heard of before our trip to San Francisco. Buttercup (the vw bus we were lucky enough to tour in) was beautifully looked after, she provided great photo opportunities!
