Magic and beauty in the heart of the bay
The tour with Sandra around the bay was a unique experience.You rating her passion for San Francisco and her love for what she does. Thanks to it, we saw the city with different eyes; The Golden Gate, The Ferry Building, The Palace of Fine Arts, everything had soul.

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.)

Hands down best tour of SF — Best stops, with unlimited time!
Amazing tour in SF, definitely the best stops of SF! We saw Golden Gate Park, the bridge, Lombard street, Lands end, and a few more!
I would recommend the private luxury chauffeur, or the Uber pass!
