Absolutely fabulous, don’t miss out, book it!

If I could give Cyrus a million stars for this amazing tour, I would! We were considering a conventional bus tour until we saw one of the vans out and about , and knew we just had to do this. We absolutely made the right call. A fabulous two hours, and we saw so much. Cyrus was so knowledgeable, interesting and very amusing and we enjoyed every second of the extraordinary tour. It was interesting , unusual and the best thing we did whilst we were visiting the city. This is a unique and amazing tour don’t miss out, I highly recommend it.

Old Hippie Liked Tour

Great experience. The vans need a speaker system so passengers can hear in the back. Otherwise, it was a phenomenal tour. The driver was great and funny. Quite enjoyable.

Groovy Fun!

A fun and easy way to get a fabulous overview of San Francisco. The van is very comfortable and safe. Our tour guide Cyrus was funny and knowledgeable. He took great pictures for all of us. The group is small enough so you don’t feel overwhelmed, but it was really nice to be with other people since I was traveling by myself. I had a wonderful experience!

Fun time

This tour was a lot of fun, singing to the old songs was great. It's a shame we didn't get out at the painted ladies or the crooked street as where we were staying wasn't nearby so we didn't experience the area as much as if we had time out of the van.

Best way to see San Francisco

Cyrus was our guide for this tour & was absolutely the best guide anyone could ask for! Cyrus was born & raised in San Francisco so his knowledge was wonderful! The VW Micro Bus was a flash back to the 60’s! Highly recommend this tour!

Best Time in San Francisco Ever!

It was such a blast! We sang most of the songs. Laughed a LOT! It was very informative! I didn't want it to end. Tara, our driver was great and made sure we had a great time! Wonderful personality and great energy! We are from the midwest so this was our first visit to San Francisco.
