San Francisco Small Group Customizable Tour

Overview
I craft one four-hour adventure each morning just for the small group and unique goings on in the City that day. The itinerary is open - we will always stop at San Francisco’s classic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks and typically roll through neighborhoods like North Beach, Pacific Heights, Haight-Ashbury, Castro, and the Embarcadero.

We will also leave big buses behind and may explore street-art alleys in the Mission, mosaic stairways in the Sunset, the laid-back vibe of the Presidio, our Beaux-Arts City Hall, famous “Painted Ladies” at Alamo Square, or go down the real crookedest street in San Francisco (not Lombard). It all depends on what's best just that day.

It's a long morning, so mid way through we will stop at a local market where the group can get a quick lunch and do some local people watching.

We will finish in the Fisherman's Wharf area in the early afternoon. If your afternoon plans take you elsewhere, we can find a mutually convenient end point.

Drive through the oldest Chinese immigrant community and in the United States and enjoy the bustling street life and unique architecture.
3
Pacific Heights
We will check out the palatial mansions and bay views of the the City's ritziest neighborhood, including a drive down Billionaire's Row.
4
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
Enjoy the Romanesque architecture of this monument from the 1915 Pan-American International Exposition around a serene pond.
5
Golden Gate Bridge
We will stop at one of the many excellent lookouts around the Golden Gate Bridge, usually the civil war-era citadel at Fort Point. We may also cross the bridge if the weather is worthwhile.
6
Golden Gate Park
We will cruise through one of the largest city parks in the country and take in the Music Concourse, Conservatory of Flowers, and more.
7
Haight-Ashbury
Cruise through the historic home of the City's countercuture, where moderns street musicians, skaters and artists tread in the footsteps of the hippies that made the neighborhood famous in the 60s. If you're interested, we will make a quick photo stop at the Haight-Ashbury intersection.
8
Twin Peaks
We will enjoy the view from the highest auto-accessible point in town, located at the geographical heart of the City. Vista includes the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, the downtown skyline, the Pacific Ocean, Mount Diablo, Sutro Tower and much more.
9
The Castro
Drive down through the historic center of San Francisco's LGBT community and see the fabulous Castro Theater.
10
Vermont Street
Vermont Street on Potrero Hill may have only seven curves, but they are packed into a shorter block than the more famous Lombard Street. This makes Vermont substantially more "crooked"
11
The Embarcadero
Cruise up San Francisco's waterfront by Chase Centre, the home of the Golden State Warriors, Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, the Bay Bridge and the Ferry Building.
12
Mission District
Drive through the City's most colorful neighborhood past sunny Dolores park, the historic Mission Dolores, and more. If you're interested, we will stop by Clarion Alley or Balmy Alley to check out some of the neighborhood's famous street art.

Great tour! Eric was engaging and share a lot of information. The tour allowed us to see several parts of San Francisco in a short amount of time.

We had a wonderful overview of San Francisco, a city which my husband and I had visited before, but which our daughters had not. We were able to customize the tour with the things we most wanted to see and Eric wove it all together in a comprehensive jaunt. Additionally, Eric has a great personality and made the trip even more fun! When we go back, we won't hesitate to ask Fogcutter Tours to take us to see the many areas that we didn't have time for in the 2023 trip.

Eric from Fogcutter Tours was excellent, as there was only 3 of us, it was practically a private tour. Eric was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I had booked him based on previous reviews and he lived up to them. A great way of seeing the different districts of the city.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review! Glad you appreciated seeing the different districts of town. I try to treat even a full tour of twelve like a private tour, but it's fun to get an even smaller group too :) Cheers -Eric
