What are people saying about San Francisco

Janice_W, Jul 2026

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!

This was an amazing experience. If you are in San Fransisco, this is a must. The crew was wonderful. They even came around to every one to see if they wanted pictures taken.. not for sale but with your camera!! The views are amazing. Going under the Golden Gate Bridge was breathtaking. The view of the city from the water was awesome. If we ever come back, this is first in our list. Spend the money for the experience, you won’t regret it!!!

San Francisco Love Tour

Valerie_L, Jul 2026

Definitely a must-do to...

Definitely a must-do to tour San Francisco on the Love Tour Bus! Cyrus the tour guide/driver shared a wealth of knowledge about the city. He was professional, experienced and funny which made the 2-hr tour enjoyable as we moved about and took stops for photo ops!

It was a long day but...

It was a long day but indeed a worthy one. I really appreciates Brian who shows/teach us everything we need to know about the valley, bonus point some extra knowledge and fun entertainment. I also like how hands on he is to our needs. Salute to him! A 10/10 service!

Painted Ladies San Francisco City Tour

Tara_V, Jul 2026

Hands down the coolest way to see San Francisco!

Cruising through San Francisco in a restored, colorful 1970s VW bus with The Painted Ladies Tour Company was an absolute blast and easily the best highlight of our trip! Our guide, Caio, was fantastic—super friendly, deeply knowledgeable, and full of great local stories that brought every stop to life. Because of the small bus size, we got an intimate, VIP experience and easily navigated spots where huge tour buses can't go. We covered an incredible amount of ground, from iconic landmarks like the actual Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Palace of Fine Arts, and the Presidio, to navigating the famous twists of Lombard Street. The pop culture stops like the Mrs. Doubtfire House and the Princess Diaries School were a nostalgic treat, and soaking in the distinct vibes of Haight-Ashbury (which felt so right in a retro VW!), Chinatown, North Beach, and the Marina made the day unforgettable. People smiled and waved at us everywhere we drove—if you want a tour with true local charm, personality, and unforgettable views, book this tour with Caio immediately!

Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz

bonnie_t, Jul 2026

Exceptional Cruise

This Tour of Muir, Woods, Sausalito, and ride around San Francisco was exceptional. Sully, our tour guide, made it extremely enjoyable. I had seen all the reviews previously on him, and was hoping that we would get him as our driver. His knowledge of history, communication style, and overall professionalism exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this Tour as a former travel agent and Air Force officer who lived in many different countries around the world. This was by far one of the best Viator tours that I have taken in years. Simply put, Sully made the difference. Pat and I will remember this Tour for years to come. I would recommend however, that directions to the pick up point be a bit more specific from the company. We were not the only ones to notice that the directions were a bit confusing. In any event, you will love this Tour.

Kerry_S, Jul 2026

Wonderful day

I had always wanted to see some sequia trees and was in San Fran so booked this trip. The trip to see the trees was everything i had hoped for…but, the tour guide was amazing. We were lucky enough to have had Roman(altho the other guides seemed friendly too as we met them at muir woods). He wa so engaging & knowledgeable about the whole experience. He gave us details about the area frm personal experiences. Even went out of his way on the tour & showed us some excellent landscape & views. It was a great tour. Nice accommodations also.

Muir Woods tour

The trip to Muir Woods is very, very winding and if you have motion sickness, take a Dramamine. Jake was very informative and an excellent driver, but the roads are difficult for someone who gets motion sick. The tour was amazing and you are in a magical world of redwood trees. We were transfixed by the incredible wonder of it all!

Great tour guide

Our tour guide was Glenda. She was charming, detailed oriented, accommodating and not once did she complain even when she was dealing with traffic jam coming back into the city. She really went above and beyond. Now, the tour itself worth the drive, the views were phenomenal and beyond what words can describe.

Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Full-Day Tour from San Francisco

John_W, Jun 2026

Wine Tour

Great day at 3 different wineries in Napa and Sonoma. We also stopped briefly on the north side of the golden state bridge for a photo opportunity. They have hotdog and fruit vendors there. I would Highly recommend eating a big breakfast or bring snacks since the lunch break is around 1:30 and you have already hit two wineries. Audio did not work on our bus so couldn’t understand anything the driver said. Other than that it was Fun

San Francisco Afternoon City Tour Small-Group Half-Day

Mary_C, Jun 2026

Jim and Mary

We had a mixup on the place of pickup and drop off. Once that was resolved all was good. One of the best things about this tour is they picked you up at your hotel and dropped you back when the tour was over. Just make sure you let them know where you are staying. My husband and I have visited San Francisco twice and I visited twice for work. We saw more on this tour than any other one we took. Mike was very knowledgeable about all the different neighborhoods he brought us too. He obviously has a love and pride in his city and wanted to share it with all of us.

Nancy_V, Apr 2026

Fun and easy to navigate tour

Our driver was fun and knowledgeable in sharing information pertinent to the tour. We especially appreciated his genuine interest in, and enthusiasm for preserving both the history of the area and in the fate of the trees. He was very clear on when things needed to happen.
