Allan, the Love bug driver was very knowledgeable and funny/ very entertaining. The 1960's Volkswagen was a Blast
Fun way to tour the city and learn about the neighborhoods and history. Our guide had a wealth of information.
I had been to San Fran a few times already and was looking for another way to see the city. BEST decision...the tour is great: 1. small in size (max of 7 people), and VW bus makes it easy to get into areas that larger vehicles can't go, or change directions because traffic is crazy 2. Personable guides. My time slot had 2 guides, Ky and Cyrus and I spoke with both of them - both were great!! My guide was Ky and he was amazing: personable, fun, expressed in getting to know each of the 7 guests to personalize the tour as best as possible, and has a real passion for the city for which he has lived for over 20 years. These tours can vary due to weather, traffic, the guests and the guide themselves. It's not possible to see everything, and Ky made absolutely sure that he did what he could to maximize our time without just rushing through - which he did! Keep Ky - he's an asset to your team! I would recommend @sanfranciscolovetours
Ky was phenomenal. I love the recommendations he made as a local. It definitely helped plan the rest of my trip. Cado’s and Tony’s are the only 2 Italian restaurants you need to visit while in SF. 100/10!
It was fun and interesting. A lot to see in a little van and the guid was awesome. I would do it again next time. ✌️
We really loved the painted bus!!!! And Dave was very authentic, personable and fun!!!!! It was such a wonderful surprise that all of us on the tour are from PA, including Dave 😄
Very good guide was very knowledgeable Comfortable van. Friendly dog also was on the tour. A lot of fun.
It was an awesome way to see San Francisco. Dave kept us entertained with stories about San Francisco
fun time w Dave--very informative as well --great family tour
This tour was exactly as described and exactly what we wanted: a fun and informal tour of beautiful San Francisco. Captain Dave was our guide and he was fun, informative and friendly - it basically felt like a friend was showing us around the city, taking our pictures, posing with us in pictures and telling us funny anecdotes. The van is also great and you can’t help but feel like minor celebs being driven around in it! We would highly recommend this tour.
