We had a wonderful time on this tour. We only had a day in San Francisco, and this was a great way to see all the highlights. Chad is an excellent tour guide, fun and engaging, and we learned so much about the city. Our kids (17,20,22yo) loved the tour. The 1971 VW bus, manual transmission going up the San Fran hills, made the tour that much more fun. We saw the whole city and Chad even had some snacks and drinks for us. Very much recommend this tour!!!

We did a private tour with Chad for my gf 25th birthday and it was worth every dollar. From the cool vintage vw bus, to the beautiful scenery, Chad provide d a tour service to be reckoned with.

We had a blast on our private tour with Chad and his partner Lily, the little red VW bus. Chad was very knowledgeable about the city and we learned so much about the history of the landmarks and neighborhoods. Lily was able to get us into places and make stops that a bigger bus would not be able to make. We had several stops and had all the time we needed to look around and take pics. He had snacks, drinks, all the right music, jokes, and clean bathroom stops. Lily was clean, well maintained, and her classic good looks turned heads all over town. The flower painted VW buses look cute, but this was much more our style. We were picked up at our hotel and Chad dropped us off in Chinatown with an amazing lunch recommendation, and a list of several special stops we needed to make after lunch. The private tour was perfect for us, as we tend to close up in groups of strangers and feel like we are missing opportunities to ask questions or talk. We enjoyed the conversation with Chad and he was very easy to spend 4 hours with.
