In late April, a friend and I celebrated our 60th birthdays with a 2 week driving tour of the US west coast. We met up with a friend who lived in San Francisco and together planned to take a tour of her city. She has lived in the Bay area for years, I have been a few times, and the other celebrant had never been to San Francisco. After looking at all the tour options (Hop on/off buses, guided coach and van tours) I finally came across Small Car Big Time Tours and it sounded perfect...three 60 something ladies touring the streets of San Francisco in a convertible MINI Cooper with a dashing guide. We had a lot of great experiences during our two weeks but this three hour tour was the highlight. Reed, the company owner/operator was able to satisfy all three of our diverse needs...to see the city hot spots for the first timer, to introduce the local resident to aspects of the city that she had no knowledge of, and to provider me...somewhat of a world traveller with a truly unique adventure. Reed was very accommodating of our suggestions, and was clearly committed to give us the best holistic experience that he could...and he succeeded! His knowledge of, and passion for, all things San Francisco was amazing...be it the history, the arts, pop culture, commerce, movie trivia, natural history...he was truly a wealth of information. In addition, he is an engaging story teller, a wonderful conversationalist, a competent driver, and has a sense of humor. This is my first trip advisor review which I have written and I do so in hopes that others will find this company and this memorable experience.
