A fun and unique way to tour San Francisco
We loved our tour of San Francisco with Painted Ladies Tour Co. It was a great way to get to know the city on our first trip there. The van was so fun and unique! Our tour guide, Dominic was amazing. His passion for the city was contagious. He was so friendly and engaging. We highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous Fun
This tour was so much fun. Tara was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge and great Dad jokes! After being on the big bus in the morning and then going on the Love Tour you really got to see some of the smaller streets and the fun side of San Francisco. Great introduction to the sights of San Francisco. Highly recommend this tour 🙂

Trevs Troops !
This day was honestly a life-changing experience. We were guided by the amazing Trevor who has an awesome energy and clearly loves what he does and it shows. His facts and pacing of the day shows just how experienced he is and his consideration of the group was incredibly thoughtful and personal. It didn't feel as much like a tour and more like a personal experience and love of Yosemite that he was sharing with us. Genuinely could not be more happy with how this day went, loved every moment and every question I had, the Great Trev had an answer for it. Honestly the care and consideration that he put into this tour and presumably every tour was unparalleled and made the experience something completely special. It wasnt just some beautiful mountains and a cool valley, he was able to tell us the history and facts surrounding the ground we stood on in a way that provoked our awe real time. He explained ideas and facets surrounding the mountains I had never even consifered and had so much information to give he could've kept us entertained forever. I genuinely want to become a rock climber thanks to today. I've never spent so much on a tour ( also having to pay extra fees cause of new laws - yay international traveller! ) but despite my doubts, every single cent was completely worth it for the journey we went on today. Trevor is such a genuine person that we need more of in this world! Best Bay Tours is onto something great here, keep it up! TTF!!!! 🫡

Brian is the most...
Brian is the most knowledgeable guide I've ever had. I've been to SF for many times but still learned a lot from him. He is very experienced and speaks in a very clear manner - I can see nonnative English speakers can particularly benefit from his style.

Great first visit experience
Great trip. Def could go back for more time in Muir Woods, but great to experience. Sausalito was very nice as well.
Perhaps if there was an option for people who didn’t plan to do Alcatraz, that would’ve been nice so there could have been an option to stay longer in Muir Woods.
Tour guide, Dustin was great.

Excellent first day in San Francisco.
Very interesting tour. Our guide had grown up in San Francisco and knew all the little details that make the city interesting. He was great driver and took the right amount of stops for bathroom breaks and photos. Muir Woods has to be one of my favorite places on Earth. Absolutely gorgeous. My family always says that it reminds them of Star Wars with the Ewoks. Imagine our joy when we found out the original inhabitants were the Mewoks. Kevin was an amazing tour guide. I would make this the first thing you do in San Francisco. We also did the trip to Alcatraz in the afternoon. It felt like a very full and eventful day. We slept well that night.

Incredible experience & sail!!!
What an incredible experience from start to finish! Crew and boat were amazing! Equipped with knowledge and jackets if we got chilly during the ride + a bar (bonus!!). We actually got to participate in raising the sail which was a bucket list activity for me! Pictures/sights & views were unreal- SF cityscape, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz & wildlife!

The best small group wine tasting experience.
Amazing experience. Our tour guide had a huge amount of knowledge about San Francisco and Napa/Sonoma and loved the smaller wineries we visited. The smaller group experience made it feel more intimate and loved getting to know the others in our group. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Great wine tour!!
Danny was our tour guide and he was great. First stop was the Golden Gate Bridge then we started on our adventure to the wineries. Our first winery was Jacuzzi in Sanoma. This winery is more of a traditional looking winery and is beautiful. The views from here are beautiful. The next winery was Artesa in Napa and Rick was our guide here. He is funny and made the tour a great experience. This winery is more of a modern looking winery and is also beautiful. The views from here are beautiful as well. Next we went to Sanoma for lunch. This place is nice but it was hot and we didn’t walk around much after eating. Our final winery was Madonna in Napa. All the wine tasting were great but Madonna was my favorite as they have a sweet wine Muscat. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Tour de SF Bay
This is a great way to get an overview of the SF Bay, its history and a real ocean experience. The cruise narration was very informative and engaging, which will give you ideas on where you would like to visit in the Bay Area. The boat goes under and around the Golden Gate Bridge and a close-up cruise-by Alcatraz Island. It can be pretty windy and cool on deck so bring something to cover you up.

Amazing Redwoods & Sausalito Experience
This was a wonderful half-day tour and a great way to experience two iconic Bay Area destinations without the stress of driving. Muir Woods was absolutely breathtaking—the giant redwoods are even more impressive in person, and we had plenty of time to explore the peaceful trails. Sausalito was the perfect follow-up with its beautiful waterfront, charming shops, and relaxing atmosphere. The transportation was comfortable, well-organized, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco!

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.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Of all the San Francisco bus tours, the “love” tours that zip around the city from the Painted Ladies Victorian homes to the Twin Peaks viewpoint in Volkswagen vans might be the most fun. If these offbeat treks are a bit granola for you, other bus tours are convenient for exploring the city and surrounding areas in comfort. Hop-on hop-off bus tours offer ultimate flexibility and freedom, while guided coach tours travel to Muir Woods and even as far as Yosemite National Park and the Monterey and Carmel area.
