SFO guided tour with Gwen - I was extremely lucky to have Gwen as my guide in San Francisco. She is a knowledgable, humorous and friendly. I really enjoyed my tour of the “City”. You must experience this wonderful city in the company of Gwen.

An Unforgettable Tour of an Unforgettable City - I thoroughly enjoyed Gwen’s commentary throughout our private tour of the “City” as it is known here. Her cultured English accent added credibility to the many historical anecdotes she spoke about this world famous place. I felt lucky that I was in the company of a friendly and knowledgeable guide who shared her love of San Francisco so completely. Rest assure you will love it too.

Personal Tour of San Francisco Enriched by a Superb Guide - Gwen is both engaging and informative; her knowlege of the history, social history, a nd the arts of San Francisco is encyclopedic. Gwen is also the mistress of trivia sprinkled with good humor. The city is gorgeous and I particularly liked seeing the various neighborhoods, which are not usually on the standard tours. This is an intimate, personal tour which Gwen enriches - don't see San Francisco without her!

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.)
