Dirceu knows the city and its history so well that he drove us to all the neighborhoods without ever backtracking, spoke with relish about the people and places and answered question's accurately. He met us promptly, respected our request to have a lunch break and used the time perfectly. There were 6 of us -- all adults -- and the two rear seats would probably be uncomfortable for those 6ft and over and window views not as spacious as the seats in middle and with driver. This a minor issue for sure. Also, Dirceu pointed out that going early in the day, preferably not on a Sunday, allows for much less traffic and perhaps more opportunities to stop and look around.

The private tour of San Francisco was awesome. Our driver Dirceu was very knowledgeable of the key points and history of the city. We enjoyed the panoramic views from Twin Peaks and that tower in Russian hill. We enjoyed the tour in a Escalade that was comfortable. Dirceu took us to places that I had never had a chance to see before. A great tour if one has not much time and to avoid the crowds like the Hop In bus tour. We felt like VIPs for there was just myself and family on this luxury SUV.

Discount, our guide and driver, was amazing! Fantastic tour and a really nice knowledgeable man. I didn't pick the best day/time to do this tour, but Dirceu made everything go smoothly and he made it a wonderful experience. Car was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend tour.

The driver was a knowledgeable and professional guide, and his car was very clean and comfortable.
He was very flexible and took us to the places we wanted to go as well as places on the itinerary and others that he recommended. Nothing was too much trouble for him as he stopped to allow us to take photos wherever possible.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Our driver was very personable and professional. We toured by driving around many of the landmarks, drove down Lombard Street. Around Chinatown, The Embarcadero, Union Square. He knew so much of the history and backstory. The car was very comfortable. He met us on time and made a couple changes in the plan as we requested. A good value and a wonderful experience
