Vantigo San Francisco City Tour

Overview

Looking for an authentic San Francisco experience? Trade the tour bus for a vintage Volkswagen van that easily navigates the city’s less-traveled lanes. Vantigo’s San Francisco City Tour takes you through 14 famed districts, complete with views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and several other storied landmarks. Along the way, we will stop and take photos while we share tales of earthquakes that shaped the landscape, industrial shifts from the 1849 Gold Rush to the rise of Silicon Valley, 1960s counterculture, and surprising insights that only a local would know.

Whether this is your first San Francisco visit or you’ve lived here for years, you’ll see the city from a new perspective. Book today. Then, sit back and enjoy the ride!

We had the best time with Chad!! It was a very special outing!! We got a personalized tour of the city that was the highlight of our time in San Francisco!! We made the best memories driving around the city and seeing all the beautiful and historic places San Francisco has without having to drive our own car. It was such a treat to not have to worry about directions, traffic, or parking!!! thank you Chad for making our time so special !!
