Fantastic tour of SF Film Locations - We loved the San Francisco Movie Tour! Bryan was our guide, and he put together an amazing itinerary of SF sites where movies have been filmed, from older classics like Vertigo to more modern films like the Matrix, Star Trek and several Marvel superhero films. So many famous movies were filmed here. We were able to hop out for photos at several of the stops and got to watch clips from the films just as our van was passing the very spot where filming took place. Highly recommended!

Great way to see the city! - ★★★★★ Highly Recommend!
My husband and I did the San Francisco Movie Tour today and absolutely loved every minute of it. It was such an enjoyable and unique way to see the city, especially while learning all the behind-the-scenes movie and TV trivia along the way.
Our guide, Bryan, was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about San Francisco and its film history. He went above and beyond throughout the tour, and whenever we had a little extra time, he would point out smaller hidden trivia spots and interesting locations that made the experience even more special.
We also happened to only have two other people on the bus with us today, which made the whole experience feel much more personal and relaxed. Bryan really took the time with everyone, making sure we could enjoy each stop properly without feeling rushed. He was always offering to take photos for people too, which was such a thoughtful touch and really appreciated.
The whole experience was fun, relaxed, informative, and entertaining from start to finish. We came away feeling like we’d seen so much more of the city than we would have on a standard tour.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco, and if you get Bryan as your guide, you’re in for a brilliant day!

One of the best - Bryan was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was helpful with capturing some great photos so I can enjoy the memories for years to come. I was surprised that Bryan also took requests to stop at some of our favorite spots so we could get more of what we love and less of what we weren’t interested in. 5 stars, would definitely recommend!

Great 3hr tour - Wylie was a great guide. The van had a TV screen with continuous movie clips and then we saw all the sets. A great way to spend 3 hours.
