We had such a great experience on this San Francisco movie tour this past weekend! Even as locals, Richard and I got to see the city in a completely different light.
The tour was engaging, fun, and full of surprises—we learned so much about San Francisco’s rich film history and saw familiar places with a whole new perspective. It really made us appreciate the city in a deeper way.
I’d highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals. It’s a unique and memorable way to explore San Francisco and discover just how many iconic movies have been filmed here!

So many movie locations on this tour!! Bryan was very personable and knowledgeable! We were impressed by how well he could navigate traffic, narrate, and keep track of all the movie clips! A must-do tour for movie buffs!

I've been on numerous TV & Movie site tours around the country. This was the best one of them all. Our guide was knowledgeable & informative. The tour was mapped out brilliantly. We saw about 70 sites in approximately 3 hours. It's a great tour

Worth taking this tour. Very engaging and feels like you were there during the filming.
Wylie is highly knowledgeable and his zeal in engaging all of us, was tremendous, explaining the details, engaging all of us with the relevant movies scenes.

Such an Amazing tour, a fun way to learn about the history and discover the city. The tour guide was very informative and really knowledgeable.
Kirsty_W, Dec 2025
Bryan was fantastic! It wasn’t a full tour, so he really prioritised stopping and letting us get photo ops! The movie clips really helped bring everything to life and I learnt so much! This tour was so much better… and warmer than the open top bus I did the day before! If you book any tour of the city, then let it be this one!

Sam_I, Nov 2025
Traveling with two teens this was a great tour. Got to see really beautiful parts of the city plus all the cool movie trivia. Would have been really hard to see this much on our own and it was great getting the tour from someone who knows the city. Bryan was knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommended!
India_F, Nov 2025
We had a great time touring through San Francisco with Bryan Rice as our tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable of the city, gave great recommendations and was our personal photographer each stop 😆
Would recommend this tour if you love movies and want to hit the major stops of San Fran at once!
Janet_N, Nov 2025
Bryan, who is so pleasant and friendly, covered so much, full of information about the movies, actors and the city. He had a video of the movie sites we were touring. We also stopped at a few sites and he offered to take pictures of us with our phones.
I had such a great time, definitely worth it!
Cindy_D, Nov 2025
Wiley was great. Fun to learn about movie mistakes, extras pay, and other tidbits about the movies. Loved the comparative video technique with actual site in San Francisco.
Elizabeth_T, Nov 2025
I was visiting San Francisco for a girls getaway and needed a fun activity for a few hours and definitely Wylie delivered. He was knowledgeable and funny, we visited fun spots where movies were filmed and the experience was fantastic.
Eugene_R, Nov 2025
Excellent tour - as advertised, the tour is a well-organized drive around most of the city hitting many, many movie sites - well-narrated with video clips of the movie scene shown on large screen on the van (15 people max) - about a three hour tour with convienent rest stops. A great way to tour the city with a very friendly knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended
Leah_C, Oct 2025
This was an amazing tour! I kicked off my trip with this tour and seeing how many movies have been made here and watching the clips as we passed by was awesome! Met some great people and the photo stops were a must!
SVETLANA_Z, Oct 2025
Good sightseeing tour with telling stories about movies and actually see the scenes where it happens.
Jed_B, Oct 2025
If you love movies (new or classic), and you love SF, this is the tour for you. Bryan was an amazing tour guide/host, and he took us around to every SF movie location that would be on any fan's list. AND, we even got to stop at the Lucasfilm headquarters for some photos. Great tour!
