    Better late than never

    Sorry for the very late reply. We very much enjoyed our tour. Our driver even stopped for us at two shops in downtown SF.

    Good time and good stops

    Pretty good tour, honestly saw all the sights of San Francisco. And it’s cool that you’re not rushed. You can take your time to see everything!

    Horrible. Save your time and money

    I am shocked Viator allows this operator, Pintours, to continue. The software was full of bugs, and ended up having to pay $5 to drive through a car garage to access the Golden Gate Park. If this was a low cost tour, I’d chalk it up as a loose guide. A waste of precious time in the city.

    No guide on this tour -- it's only a GPS based app. Highly misleading.

    Highly misleading Viator listing... there is no guide on this "tour" -- it is simply a pre-recorded GPA location-controlled recording. I asked them who are guide was twice, and they evaded the question each time -- I now see why. Instead we paid over $600 for a private driven SUV, but of course the driver as not a "guide," and while he did the best he could with us, it was a negative experience. There were other, driven, small group tours in San Fran, with a REAL GUIDE, for significantly lower cost -- I would have 100% chose that had they been up front with me about the fact that there was no guide on this tour, but they were not. So we wasted the one afternoon we had in SF on this excursion. False advertising, deceptive marketing. I would not recommend anyone take this faux "tour." (If all this wasn't bad enough, the "Pintours" app isn't even available in the Google Play Store.)
