My daughter and I were traveling back to SFO for a late night flight back to NYC. We wanted to see the city, but had little time. I found Reed's company on Trip Advisor and his reviews were fantastic, so I booked a 3 hour tour with him.
What a wonderful experience!
Reed is the sole tour guide of his company, I was happy to learn that, and recommend so you know you're getting Reed as your guide, and you definitely want this man as your guide to this fabulous city!
I asked Reed if he were from San Fran, he grew up in the suburbs of the city, his father and grandfather were both natives, and he always loved it so much, he moved there when he was an adult. My daughter totally related to this, she's a kid who's grown up in the suburbs of NYC, Bergen County in NJ, just 15 miles from the GWBridge, and calls NYC her city and said although she thought the Golden Gate bridge was awesome, she was happy to drive home across her bridge, the GW.... LOL!
Anyway, Reed designed a tour for us that was absolutely perfect! He picked us up at a garage he recommend, since we were new to the city, it was the perfect location and easy to find via GPS. The car was perfect for two or three tourists, a convertable mini cooper, and blankets are even provided!
Reed asked if there were any specific places we wanted to see, I requested the Haight, I wanted my 17year old who is into music to experience it and learn about it, Reed was the perfect man for the job!
So we toured Nob Hill, with stops in front of the Cable Car Museum, drove through China Town and North Beach (SanFran's Little Italy), where we stopped at Tony's for a famous slice (as a New Yorker, can can say it was a good slice of Neopolitan pie, but better than Brooklyn, I'm not too sure <3 ), The Columbus Tower aka TransAmerica pyramid, Washington Square Park and Saints Peter and Paul Church (Joe and Marilyn fame), Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower, Lombard Street (the infamous crocked drive), The Marina District and the beautiful Palace of Fine Art, San Fran's National Cemetery, views of Alcatraz, Fort Point and great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park and it's museums and gardens, Haight-Ashbury, Alamo Square and it's Painted Ladies (aka Full House TV show).
Since we were parked close enough to Ghiradelli Square and the Warf, Reed dropped us off at our parking lot, and we walked down to those spots and enjoyed the rest of our time in San Francisco, that beautiful City by the Bay.
If I haven't said I HIGHY recommend REED, let me say it again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND REED! He's so knowledgable, so kind, reminded us this tour was OURS and we could do/see/stop/eat whenever and whatever we wanted... and he didn't fail on delivering those promises and more! He was able to answer our questions including what a Precidio actually is, and recommend restaurants, let us get out and take pictures where and whenever we wanted to, he even snapped a few for us!
Don't miss this tour, it's was so much more than we expected! Thank you Reed, hope to see you again in the future! Loved your city, so much <3
