What a way to see San Francisco! Travelled with my husband and three grown children (27, 22, 20). Each of us appreciated the sights and Brian’s delivery of interesting facts and stories—he was literally like an extension of our family. A superb way to see many areas of San Francisco comfortably and affordably. VERY worthwhile tour and EXCELLENT/interesting guide. Highly recommend, especially to first time goers to the area.

This was the best possible “excursion” we could’ve gone on. We’d been exploring SF for a couple of days, but Brian managed to show us the nooks and neighborhoods that we wouldn’t have seen as first-time tourists...heck, most SF RESIDENTS haven’t even seen some of what we saw. He was easy to talk to, listen to, and was an overall excellent guide. HIGHLY recommend this tour over any bus tour or any other “explore” tour. 10/10.

Brian's Luxury Minivan tour is all the good things big buses offer and more. The many disadvantages found with the big buses are not found here: no crowd delays, no traffic jams. I know San Francisco pretty well and was pleasantly surprised that Brian knows it even better! He didn't miss a thing and had very current information on the city. Brian was totally kind and patient and conscious of our needs. He gave us great personal service. He picked us up and dropped us off at the Ferry Building since we came to SFO by ferry and had a member of our group who didn't walk well. What other tour would stop at Bodin's so we could get some sourdough bread to take home? Only Brian's Minivan Tour. Best San Francisco experience I've had yet. I will be back with my next group of out-of-towners.
