Wonderful tour! - Our driver Pat was very knowledgeable of the area and super accommodating. She let us stop and get out wherever we wanted and took lots of pictures of us. This is the best way to see a lot of the city in a short time.

The best tour of San Francisco ever!!! - The best tour of San Francisco ever!!! 5 stars!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ( I would give 10 stars if I could). My family and I did the city tour of San Francisco with Pep in March 2025 and it was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. Her in depth knowledge of the historical buildings throughout San Francisco was incredible. The itinerary was packed with so many picture perfect places to visit that my family and I walked away with a number of beautiful photos of San Francisco that I am considering blowing up and displaying in my home….pictures that look like they were taken by a professional. This is all due to Pep’s willingness to allow you to stop and capture the moment throughout the entire tour. Her detailed explanation of the architectural design and history of buildings in various neighborhoods throughout San Francisco, have made me fall in love with the city of San Francisco. Thank you Pep for making our tour a memorable experience that my family and I will never forget!!! If you are looking for the best tour of San Francisco with the friendliest tour guide in town, book a tour with this tour company. Your tour of San Francisco will be a memory you will be never forget!!! We are forever grateful for the memories we made while visiting San Francisco due to Pep! Thank you so much!!!

City tour review - City tour with Pep was really good. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but we were able to make the most of it. The view of the city from beyond the Golden Gate Bridge was the highlight. Highly recommend the tour and Pep as guide.

San Fran City Tour - We had a great tour with Pep and highly recommend her San Fran city tour. We were able to see everything we wanted and learned so much about the amazing city. She really made our trip special. The weather was not great, so having a car to get around to the differing sites was a plus. We usually do walking tours but SF has too much space to cover. We would highly recommend Pep to show you the city. Thanks Pep!

Perfect Tour for Family of 4 - Pep was a wonderful guide!! She was patient with us running late, then took extra time at the end so we didn't miss any of our must-see places. She had a list to pick from and provided a lot of helpful information on the area and sites. I'd highly recommend the Private City Tour.
