VW Bus Tour Fun - Chad did an amazing tour of San Francisco! He is so knowledgeable about the area and we were all over the place (including a couple secret viewing spots). He gave us some great recommendations for restaurants too. Thanks Chad-highly recommend!

Best VW bus tour ever! - Chad is a personable, knowledgeable, and humorous tour guide. Chad knows the city inside and out--he grew up here! Initially I thought about going with a bit less expensive VW bus tour competitor, but Chad took us on a 3.5 hour adventure all around SF, and when you compare it to the "other guys" (2 hours), it was well worth the extra money. It consumed the entire afternoon. Plenty of time for pictures and bathroom breaks. I would highly recommend this tour.

Stop looking you found the best tour ! Go with this one , thank me later ! - If you are looking for the best VW bus tour , you have came across the best one with Vantigo, look no more go with this one I can vouch for it being the original one plus it has the best reviews! I had Chad do the tour with us it genuinely felt like I was hanging out with a friend he was so nice and kind to us all but had great knowledge , you can tell he loves what he does too! Chad went above and beyond for everyone in our group even leaving some less mobile people to their hotel. This tour was great I can’t recommend it enough. Go with this one it’s the best option for a million reasons 😁

Amazing tour of San Francisco with an amazing tour guide - Amazing tour with a personal touch. Our personal driver and tour guide was the very best and drove us around the sights and sounds of San Francisco in a retro Volkswagen mini bus. Real cool. He was friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about everything that is San Francisco. If you want to cover San Francisco in one afternoon without the trappings of a touristy experience then this is your best choice. Ask for Josh. You won’t regret it and you will have a wonderful experience.

Great half day tour - This was a great half day tour. Chad was a great tour guide. There was just the two of us on the tour so that made it more personalised. The information about what we were viewing was well researched and very interesting.

Amazing Tour of San Francisco - Absolutely amazing tour of San Francisco. Chad gave us a first class tour. He took us to some fabulous sites. He was very knowledgeable of the city and its rich history. The VW Wagon was fun to ride in, and we got plenty of waves from the locals throughout our ride. He takes you into many neighborhoods and explains the culture of those neighborhoods in detail. We would highly recommend this tour. And you will have a lot of fun. Thanks Chad for the fun!
