Randy our driver was excellent. Really knowledgeable and we were able to customise the tour which was great. Highly recommend

Wonderful time and thanks Randy

Great experience with A Taste of SF and Randy last month. Good and clear communication through out the process. We were picked up by Randy at our requested time in San Mateo for our tour and comfortable ride for our tour. Randy was very accommodating not only to us but to our kids. The pace of the tour was just right for us and Randy was great the whole day. He would “customize” our day, tour basis on the things that we’d like to do and interested to see. Again, overall great experience and would definitely look to book A Taste of SF and request Randy again for our next adventure when we are back in the Bay Area.

Leigh_N, Jan 2020
The tour to Monterey, 17 mile and Carmel was a great day. Viator had not been in touch with the tour company despite having made the booking mid December. Panic stations initially but Taste of SF organised jumped into action and sorted it out and everything worked really well from there Steve originally an Englishmen was great and very infomative
