Brian was very knowledgeable and engaging to our group of 4 riders. We rode in a minivan, so we went to places that the buses could not and that added some nice aspects to the tour though the city by the bay. Brian told us about local history and events that were on the calendar for the next day. We stopped often for photo opportunities and we traveled on Lombard Street. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see San Francisco.

My husband and I definitely recommend this tour! We only had one full day in San Francisco and this tour was perfect for us. We've taken Hop On Hop Off buses where you wait in line only to have full buses pass you by. This personalized tour drives you from point to point with live commentary pointing out interesting sites and stories about the city. Brian is a very interesting tour guide. Born in San Francisco, he has been to 83 countries and been a tour guide with other companies for many years. He offers insights about the city, other places within the USA as well as foreign countries. We recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco no matter how much time you have to spend there.

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The small group size allowed us to visit places larger groups would not be able to enter. The tour guide (I wish I could remember his name) was very informative, entertaining, and accommodating. The local snacks he provided were such a nice treat! : ) I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
