This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

This was an amazing way to see the city! Cyrus knew a lot of history and was hilarious. The ride was very comfortable and he was very kind to my mother who has some mobility issues. Took lots of great pictures as well. Would highly recommend this experience!

We had an AMAZING time on our tour thanks to our guide Cyrus! We highly recommend this tour if you want to see and explore the beautiful city of San Francisco in a fun way. Cyrus was a treasure trove of info and went above and beyond our expectations.

This was a really enjoyable tour in a unique vehicle that turned a lot of heads. Our tour guide Tara was fun and shared a lot of information about San Francisco.

My family and I had an awesome time zipping up, down, and all around San Francisco with our guide Kai and his fur baby, Kona. We were able to see so much and learn many unknown facts about the monuments, buildings, neighborhoods, etc. I would highly recommend this tour!

This was the second time for us to do The Love Tour of San Francisco, though this time, as an extended family group of 6, we booked a 4 hour private tour. Ky made sure that we thoroughly enjoyed it, bringing us across to the Golden Gate view point as well as Twin Peaks Summit for photos, as well as providing us with entertaining and informative stories as we drove up and down the smaller streets and areas of the city. Some of the many highlights of the tour were a stop at the Lucas Studios in the Presidio, a drive down Lombard Street, the drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and the house with Harry Potter themed doors. The tour covered some different areas this time around, which was great for the three of us that had done it the first time. We have recommended this tour to some family and friends since our first visit in 2018, and they all came back to us delighted that we had.

We loved everything about it! Three generations of our family took the tour! We cruised the streets in our flower power 70’s Van with music blaring and people everywhere looking at us with big smiles and peace signs. Saw all the major districts and heard great stories. If you’re a fan of SF hey day, there is no better way to see it!

Wonderful tour and our guide was outstanding. Being two old hippies, we loved visiting Height Ashbury part of tour. I would highly recommend the private tour as it gives you more options to see what you want to see.

Our tour guide Paris was fantastic. Such a great way to see the city and lots of tips of where to visit again. If I Coul only recommend one thing to do in san francicsco it would be this

This was a great tour! Our tour guide, Paris, was extremely personable and knew her history of San Francisco. I learned more on this tour than all the other tours of SF I've taken over the past 30 years. My cousins from Maine loved the tour and had a blast! I would highly recommend this tour, even for folks who've been on previous SF tours. Ask for Paris!

A wonderful way to tour Frisco - not just seeing the sights but in the VW you are inside an attraction as well!!! Lovely tour highly recommended!

This tour was really unique, a real eye-catcher. Our guide Cyrus was great. He gave us a lot of information and was very entertaining. Sovereignly he drove us uphill through the whole city.

Dommage que le tour réservé en français se soit transformé en un tour avec un guide ne parlant que trois mots de français. Par contre « Jet » notre chauffeur était fabuleux,très drôle. Tour vraiment à faire.
