The tour guide was very nice, funny and knowledgeable about the city. He also gave us a lot of fun facts that we wouldn’t have ever know if we didn’t take the tour

Despite having lived in San Francisco and visiting each year, there is always so much to see that we decided this time to try a tour. We had spotted the Painted Ladies VW bus around town and figured it looked fun so decided to give it a try and it turned out to be the perfect choice as the day was wet and windy so a tour in a VW kept us dry and was a fun way to explore. Our tour guide Caio was fantastic and kept us entertained throughout with lots of great facts about the city with music to accompany some of the experiences. They pack in a lot in just 2 hours with information as you drive the city on the way to specific destinations. We drive through Haight Ashbury and stopped by the once home of Janis Joplin; stopped for pictures at the Painted Ladies, drove down the Presidio where we had fantastic reviews of the Golden Gate, Alcatraz and a panoramic city view, enjoyed a ride down Lombard Street, drove through Little Italy and China town! It was a great experience and well worth trying particularly if you are only in the city a few days and want to see a lot in a short amount of time! Highly recommend - so glad we did it !

The tour was fantastic and offered a wonderful way to experience San Francisco while staying warm and sheltered from the chilly winds. We had the chance to ride in a cheerful yellow bus, which added a fun element to the adventure. Additionally, our guide had a strong presence that enhanced the overall experience! A glass of wine was a nice touch too. šŸ˜‰šŸ˜˜
