Me and my wife booked a private tour with Reed at Small Car Big Time Tours for our trip to San Francisco in October of last year, and can honestly say it was one of the best trips we have ever been on.
We booked well in advance and Reed was very helpful, asking whether there were any particular areas of the city we would like to see. He did a tailor made tour for our specific requirements as well as including some 'must see' attractions.
We took the 4 hour tour, with Reed picking us up from our hotel. With two previous visits to San Francisco under my belt I thought I had some decent knowledge of the city, but that was nothing compared to Reed. He has an extensive knowledge of every area of the city, speaking to you via a microphone through the speakers of his convertible mini. Being a convertible mini it offered many great opportunities to take in the scenery and for some very good pictures, which Reed was always happy to stop to allow you to take.
As well as Reed's amazing knowledge of the history of San Francisco, he also was able to give us several recommendations on which places were good and not so good to go for something to eat and drink.
Reed's tour of the city allowed us to see areas that are inaccessible to tour buses, so we went to crooked Lombard Street,Twin Peaks, Baker Beach,Fort Point, Coit Tower, Sutro Baths and the Presidio amongst many others, before we finished up in Sausalito.
We covered a lot of ground in the four hours, and thoroughly enjoyed it, Reed is a very friendly and hospitable man, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide/host.
If you want an extensive and thorough guide to the city then we can definitely recommend this tour! Thanks very much Reed!
