Nothing happened. We did our own tour.
Our PIN number never worked on the app. We were not able to use this service! Now we are on our phone trying to get a refund. It has not been nice.

Operator response
Hi Rachel, Our commentary is written by our world class tour guides, who have a deep understanding of each location. We require our commentary to be around 2 minutes, to encourage more storytelling and to keep the audio more fun! At each stop, there is a section called "cool info", which has a lot more information! So you can dive deep on the content, watch some videos, and learn more! Hope that helps! Looking forward to seeing you tour with us again!

Great intro to downtown SF
Good experience saw a lot of the main sites around financial district and Chinatown. Learned some historical facts about San Francisco that I didn’t know before. Navigation provided on the app can be a little confusing so I recommend planning your own route. Nice that tour can be done at your own pace and at a good price.

Great way to tour the city
We we were in San Francisco last week for fleet week, and saw Pintours was having a sale! It’s the best way to tour the city! You don’t need to be a part of a group, and can personalize the tour to your liking!

Excellent Private Tour
I did this tour with my sons, and it was very nice and helpful to get around the city. I really liked how private the whole tour was, I am someone who prefers to have a private tour rather than be on a group.

Great tour that is personalized to you!
Really enjoy doing the tour at my own pace!! Usually in typical tours, you have to wait for the whole group to do something, but this tour was personalized to what I love! I was able to skip the shopping portion, as I am a huge foodie 🥗
