Take this tour!! - My wife, daughter and I took this tour last week. We took the 10am tour with Josh. Josh was punctual to the point where I had to let him know we were running about 5 minutes late. Over the next three hours we visited some of the most iconic places in San Francisco including Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, The Mission, Little Italy, Chinatown and an amazing view of Golden Gate bridge. Beyond that, Josh was able to speak about San Francisco in a way you wouldn't understand just going online. Why are the trees around San Fran the way they are? Josh will tell you. Why isn't Haight-Ashbury becoming gentrified? Josh can tell you. What's the best IPA made by San Francisco Brewing? Josh knows! I don't because they were out when I went to try it. But there's always next time! Honestly, this was an amazing way to see a lot of San Francisco in a short amount of time. Josh even offered to drop us off at a location of our choice. If you get a chance, take the tour! Can't recommend it enough.

Smooth travels that feel... - Smooth travels that feel safe. No need for small talk with a driver. Listened to what we wanted and all eyes on the scenery.

Fantastic fun and funky tour - We had one day layover in SF before flying to New Zealand. We decided to take this tour as a way to see as much of the city as possible. Our tour guide Josh was fantastic and entertaining as well as enthusiastic about his hometown. We saw so many sights and it was a retro delight to ride in the “hippie” VW bus all day. We learned culture, history and architecture all in a 4 hour span. Wonderful experience highly recommended

Brilliant tour! - An amazing way to see all the key sights in SF! The tour was fun, informative and relaxed, and Chad was a great host/guide/playlist manager. Lots of beautiful views, recommendations and plenty of photo opportunities. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting SF. Left with a real appreciation for the scale and history of the city, and a long list of great recommendations for the rest of my visit!

Fun Way to See the Sights! - Must be mobile enough to get in and out of a vintage VW bus. We had a small group experience—just 6 total. Josh had many special spots that were new to us and we have visited SF several times before. Amazing how much ground we covered in 3 hours. Great tour!
