A DO NOT MISS actively for locals and San Francisco visitors!
Christian is an AMAZING tour guide —- funny, knowledgeable, engaging!! Such an entertaining and informative evening — not to mention the fabulous architecture along the way. We learned a lot about San Francisco history and culture! It is clear that Christian loves what he does and spends time researching the topic to be able to share multiple perspectives from various published sources associated with the people, events, and locations covered ( he sends a reference list after the tour so you can continue your reading on the topics). Our last stop was an enchanting hotel where we chose to visit the bar after the tour ended for a truly stunning and delicious cocktail! I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Great SF experience
Isabelle was a wonderful guide - very knowledgeable about the area and so enthusiastic. I appreciated her personal stories. The choices of places to visit and the food were all superb. We were well fed. She even had some unusual places to visit for great views. We learned a lot about the culture and history of the area. I highly recommend this tour and Isabelle as a guide although you probably can’t go wrong with any of the guides.

Worth the climb
Our guide, Eric was great! He shared history of both San Francisco and the locations with pictures that helped to to better understand what we were seeing and why. He had a loud speaking voice that could be heard above the active streets we walked. He was a great story teller that was captivating throughout the tour. One note to those considering this tour: you have to walk up VERY steep hills (nobb hill). I had no problem and our guide gave plenty of time for everyone in our group to make it to the top, however if you struggle with walks that are more than a stroll, you might want to pass on this one. I personally enjoyed it so much, I might book it again when my husband can join me.

What a fantastic...
What a fantastic experience! The North Beach Italian Food Tour was the perfect combination of delicious food, local history, and culture. The tour lasted just over three hours, which we felt was the ideal length. The food stops were perfectly spaced, with great variety and just the right portion sizes to keep us satisfied throughout the entire experience without feeling overly full.
Our tour guide, Brian, was absolutely fantastic! Being born and raised in the area, he brought an incredible amount of local knowledge and authenticity to the experience. He not only explained the different foods, their ingredients, and how they were prepared, but also shared fascinating stories about the neighborhood’s history and culture. It was clear that Brian knew the area inside and out, along with many of the people who make North Beach so special.
Overall, this was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Great food, great pacing, wonderful stories, and an exceptional guide. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco!

Tasty and informative tour
Brian was a great tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and sights, and seemed to love sharing it with us. He had a great sense of humor, and adapted his information to what we were most interested in hearing about. We really appreciate that he did the tour for only three of us, and spent an extra half hour with us. The variety and amount of food was just right.

Great Food! Will not disappoint!
Jamie was fantastic! He taught our group so much about the different streets of San Francisco and the history behind them. I never expected to learn so much. The food was also amazing! He treated us to so much more than I was expecting, like Boba Tea and Pineapple Bread. All of the food was absolutely delicious,
and he accommodated my food allergies, which I greatly appreciated. I left this tour feeling so full and well taken care of!

Excellent customer service and tour guide!
Viator was very flexible with our changing cruise ship arrival time. Tatya was over the top excellent. She gave us very useful information, she was knowledgeable, entertaining, and had a very bubbly personality. Highly recommend this excursion and if you can request Tatya, she will make your experience even better!!!

Muir woods is the best part of the tour
We were picked up outside of our hotel, got to get a free tour of some city sites while on our drive over to Muir.
The woods were beautiful, it was raining out but still breath taking and amazing to see.
The roads to the woods are really winding- so take note if you get car sick easily.
Learned a lot, saw a lot, had a great time

Must see and do
This is a must do if one is visiting SF for the first time. Viator has offered us the opportunity to experience it without the hassle of having to worry about driving there yourself. The drive is beautiful with ample time for a pit stop and shop for food. Our driver Aidan was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable.

Yosemite
This was not only my very first solo trip, but my first across the country. Johanna made the entire trip so enjoyable and I learned so much from her guidance throughout the day. Even made some new friends in our hiking group. I can’t wait to come back for a two day tour.

Bike tour in San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge
Our guide was excellent! Jodi was very knowledgeable and gave our group lots of information and tips. Riding on the Golden Gate Bridge was an amazing experience, but it was so cold and windy. We had lunch in Sausalito and took the ferry back. We had an excellent day.

Don’t miss this!
Wow! What a great way to experience the Mission District. Mark was an amazing guide, full of information and recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed this itinerary, the history and of course the food. Don’t hesitate to book this if you are looking for a great overview of history, culture and delicious food tastings!

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.
