What are people saying about San Francisco

Nice way to learn about the city, and Alcatraz
This was a great trip. The walk through the City was great. Amanda had great stories about the history of San Francisco. It was a great way to learn about what the city was in the past and how it got to be what it is today. Alcatraz was awesome. Easy to get there and back. I enjoyed the audio tour. Being self-paced let me take my time through the Prison. I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the history with the Prison.

Brian was the best and he brought Chinatown to Life
Let me start by saying we loved Brian. He was quickwitted well informed and willing to answer off topic questions. The restaurants we went to were wonderful and the staff at each of the restaurants were more than kind. If you get a chance, book this tour and if you wanna have a great time, ask for Brian.

Peking duck and unexpected cauliflower
We had an awesome 4 hours spent with Ryan and a handful of absolute strangers that became running buddies during our time in a small corner of San Francisco on a late Saturday afternoon. Our guide was knowledgeable, a heartfelt advocate and cheerleader for the city and the state of California, and took us to some amazing local gems, sampling killer eats along the way. It’s like a field trip with climbing hills included as part of the price of admission. Good times.

Wonderful walking tour that will leave your belly full
The walking tour around North Beach/Little Italy was fantastic. You definitely won't leave hungry. We started our tour at Caffe Greco for coffee/espresso/cappuccino and a cannoli from Stella Pastry. Our next stop was a Molinari Deli for a wonderful sandwich. Then we went to Betty Lou's for a fettucine dish with a red cream sauce that was fantastic! Then we went to Steps of Rome and had an amazing pizza. Such a wonderful pizza. Our last stop was across from the Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral where Joe DiMaggio married his first wife call Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store and Cafe and we had an amazing tiramisu. We didn't go to Z. Cioccolato for fudge, but the tiramisu was so good, I didn't care.
We did not got by Coit Tower, but it was pointed out to us. We also had a small tour of Club Fugazi which wasn't listed on the tour, but our tour guide Scott is a local and this club is a San Francisco tradition. We were only in a small area but there was so much history in that small piece of San Francisco that you almost don't realize it.

Katya was the perfect tour guide!
This was an excellent small group tour all around. Visiting Alcatraz first worked well for our family. Communication was good except for a buried line about what time to meet the Mercedes Sprinter bus after the Alcatraz ferry back (note, no need to rush back). Katya drove around the city a bit and told us interesting things about the city. Muir Woods visit was incredible. Sausalito was a bit crowded on a super nice day. There is an option to stay for a nice dinner and take a separate ferry back if you need more time. Bring your own water!

Bite Size Tour!
This is a fantastic tour to go on if you want a bit of walking through the woods. It’s just the right amount of time to wander the trail. Our driver/guide Jerry knows a lot about San Fransisco and the whole Bay Area. He’s fantastic and I highly recommend him.

Super experience & well worth it!
This tour was lots of fun. What a great experience to bike over the bridge! Marcus was a great guide—patient, informative, fun. He fixed my son's flat tire on the spot no problem. Dress warmly as it gets windy and chilly even in July. Def opt for the E-bikes—it made the ride fun and very easy. It would've been a slog with regular bikes. In addition to the bridge, Marcus took us by the Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio, Crissy Field, etc., and gave us some great history of the area. Don't pay extra to leave the bikes on the Sausalito side. It's super easy to bring them back on the ferry and you can keep the bikes until 8pm so can do whatever you like with the bikes the rest of the day. We explored Sausalito, had lunch, brought the bikes back on the ferry, then rode them to Alcatraz Landing and locked them up there while doing the Alcatraz tour, then returned them afterwards. Marcus got incredible pics for us at the bridge too! Highly recommend this experience.

Amazing tour - despite uphill hike lol.
We had a great time. Eric, our tour guide, was awesome. He was funny, engaging, and professional. The tour was really fascinating and the stories were spooky. The only warning I’ll give to anyone interested is, the 1.5 mile walk seems short, but when you’re going up Nob Hill on foot - it’s a workout! Otherwise, a fantastic tour. I would book again!

Fantastic cruise!
Be ready for fog and wind, but also be ready for fantastic cruise around san francisco bay.. you'll see all manner of birds and wildlife, as well as the big rock, meaning alcatraz, a view of the golden gate bridge from underneath, a narration, about all the other sites you'll see around the bay.

Incredible Adventure
Glenda went above and beyond for us. She came exactly at 5am and brought us to every incredible area in Yosemite. Even the market before Yosemite was a great choice because we bought breakfast, lunch and snacks from there. After the tour, Glenda took us back to our hotel. How one person could do all this beginning at 5am blows my mind. Thank you so much Glenda!

Hidden Stairways
We wanted to do a walk ‘off the beaten track’, this tour ticked all the boxes!
Greg was so informative about the history and culture of San Francisco & truly loves his city. Totally enjoyed the tour, learning so much more about SF, including stunning sights.

Book Now !! Best Tour of China Town & Little Italy!
What a SPECTACULAR Experience. Our Guide, DARA, was amazing. She is a local San Francisco girl & was a wealth of knowledge. It’s a small group tour so our family of 5 got a private tour. We started at the Cable Car Museum & she explained the history & engineering of the street cars. Then we walked to China Town & had the yummiest yogurt drinks, dim sum & musubi. Our next stop was a bakery for Pineapple buns, which are like sweet rolls. Then we walked over to North Beach (Little Italy) & had the most authentic & freshest focaccia pizza & ended at a bakery run by an Italian family for Gelato. Dara was absolutely amazing.. 10 stars & 10 thumbs up!!! She is a wealth of knowledge & so personable & friendly. Even our teenage daughter loved the tour! There is a lot of walking so wear comfy sneakers & travel light… purses & backpacks get really heavy after you have been walking a while. There is a lot to eat & drink so come hungry!
We would highly recommend this tour & only because Dara is such an incredible guide! Don’t think about it.. book now !!

Move over cable cars—San Francisco is a town best explored on foot. The compact city is 7 square miles (18 square kilometers) of dense neighborhoods, historic alleyways, hilltop viewpoints, and urban green spaces. While San Francisco walking tours are great for experiencing the unique character of city neighborhoods—and even a certain world-renowned bridge—they can venture beyond the beaten trails that bus tours rarely tread. They're also often organized around themes such as architecture, hiking, street art, cuisine, history, and even ghosts.
