Fantastic Tour for History buffs

We had a wonderful time with Brian and another couple from Kentucky. It was a wonderful way to see a lot of the city in a half day experience. I particularly liked how are guide showed us informational clips on his laptop before the stops. I love Coit Tower and the beautiful grounds surrounding it. The beauty of the architecture throughout SF is exceptional.

Best Guide We Have Ever Had

Our excellent guide Brian has a lot of experience leading National Geographic tours around the country and world so made everyone aspect of the tour great! He is from San Francisco and obviously loves and knows the city well . Each stop and were well planned and he offered local snacks. He shared his personal and customer experience and gave tips on what to see and popular dining spots. He showed us relevant historical and more current photos on his laptop to provide additional detailed information. Going in a van with just our group of five was perfect!

Very enjoyable tour of much of San Francisco's highlights. Having not been here before this was a great way to see and get around S.F. Including a map of some type so we could have a better understood how each area we visited was in relationship to others would have been beneficial.

Best half day tour of San Francisco providing much wonderful information with a Personal touch

Even though two other couples had missed their flight and had to cancel this small group tour on Sept 15, 2023 our guide took my husband and I on one of the best tours we have experienced with Viator. He was very knowledgeable and had a very comfortable private SUV. We did not feel rushed and had the pleasure of seeing most of the major sites the City of San Francisco has to offer. Would highly recommend this to get more factual and historical information on this beautiful city. Good way to help plan the rest of your stay in the city.

Recommend you do this tour first during your trip. It gives a complete view of what San Francisco is all about and you can then plan off of the information provided. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided great historical information along the way. He even had photos/information on his tablet to share during the tour. Excellent tour!
