Brian was a fantastic guide and knows more about this city than anyone else I know! I have done the big bus tour before but this is a great option if you want to see the parts of the city that the buses can’t go! Would definitely do again!

We saw the Golden Gate up close, that was awesome! Brian's comments were knowledgable and fun. We especially appreciated the very comfortable vehicle, so much better than a bus!

We can't say enough about Brian and this amazing tour, best tour we've ever taken. Hes so knowledgeable about the city and takes to places no one else does. Had amazing snacks from local vendors and made great recommendations for places to eat and places to visit. You're right Brian, Tonys does have the best 🍕. This is the tour you want to take!!!! If I could I'd give you 20 stars, I would. Thanks again for the amazing day!
