This was a well organised and interesting tour of some of the city's best known sights. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and took time to point out features of interest along the route. Highlights were the Golden Gate Bridge and the Twin Peaks viewpoint where we just managed to catch the sunset before heading back downtown. We were even collected and dropped back at our hotel which was helpful. We would definitely recommend this tour to other visitors as you get useful tips on where else to go and places to eat during your stay. -
I really enjoyed my tour of the city. Very relaxing and informative. I was picked up at my hotel, driven to the office and then boarded the bus for my tour. Twin Peaks was so beautifull. Had such a wonderful time..... Thank You -
Excellent Tour Guide/Driver. Never felt rushed. Covered a great many sites with several photo stops. Great way to learn a bit about the city before tackling it on your own. -
Excellent tour and guide very informative.
-
Our trip was cobbled together over several weeks of last minute frantic planning. I had never been to SF for anything other than business and knew my husband and I would want to explore. This tour was fantastic and took us to all the great sights in the city. We were able to grab some great pictures and our tour guide was funny and knowledgable. Our only regret is that we didn't get to do another tour! Next time we're back we will be sure to use this company for all future tours. -
Tour guide was very informative. He also kept us on schedule
-
This was an excellent tour. I have no compliants. The Tour Guide was colorful and informative. He provided historical as well as current information, as we traveled the city; this included information that only a true native of the area could provide. The Tour Guide also offered helpful tips designed to enhance our visit.
-
Very good and informative tour. we had a very good tourguide (John) and the next time we are in San Francisco, we will for sure take one of the other tours on the program.
-
The driver was knowledgeable and funny. I learned a lot about the places I visited.

The Deluxe San Francisco City Tour was a great way to see many highlights of the city, especially if you only have a few days in the town. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, keeping us smiling with stories and anecdotes about SF. It was very helpful for us to see the areas of the city that we wanted to see more of too. Highly recommended
-
Our tour guide, Silvio, was an extraordinary man! Gave such a great dialogue along with driving so carefully around the great city of San Francisco! We would never had the opportunity to see so much of the city without having gone on this tour. So glad we did and a special thanks to Silvio for the Twin Peaks stop, the Golden Gate Bridge appearing magically out of the fog, made our day! Most fun we've had in years!
-
Liked the tour a lot. Much better coach than the one with all those people freezing up top. The driver was great, really knew his subject without going over the top. He had a great sense of humour and made the tour lots of fun. I would do it again.
-
The tour was really great, good value, and we enjoyed evey minute of it. The tour bus driver/guide was very informative, very amusing, very helpful - and a great singer! We would definitely recommend other family members and friends who may visit San Francisco to take your tour - you never know, when they return home, like us, they may well have left their heart in San Francisco!

we have a great tour would recommend to anyone it's worth it
-
good way to save time and money, strongly recommend for you to try this
-
Hit the highlites enjoyed the tour driver knowledgeable
-
Great tour and tour guide. Highly recommend the moment you get to San Fransisco. Afterwards, you will know what areas you want to spend more or less time in. Well worth the money.
-
Absolutely great tour. Awesome guide and learned so much about the city I ddn't know. Would reccomend for anyone!
-
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour by bus. The driver was extremely helpful with all questions and without a doubt he knew the city very well. Thanks for a great time
-
great overall tour of the city!! Tour guide was great. We loved it!
-
We have been to San Francisco many times and decided to take the tour for our grandaughter's benefit. We learned so much about San Francisco ourselves. We had not expected to go across the Golden Gate on the tour so that was a plus for us since we did not have a car. We also liked hearing about the cost of renting and buying in the various neighborhoods. We enjoyed the suggestions of restaurants in Chinatown and ate lunch at one of them and loved it. Our hotel pickup was prompt and no problems were experienced. We would greatly recommend it as a first class tour! Phyllis Hulme
-
Pretty good - a bit rushed in places - and maybe too much in others (Lands end)
-
Pleasantly surprised ... thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Tour bus driver highly knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you.
-
My daughter and I enjoyed the tour very much. Mr. Candy Man was a fun and interactive driver. Loved his humor and experience on pointing out places of interest. We had lived on Treasure Island a few years back and I was happy to re-show my daughter places from her childhood without having to drive the hills myself! Now I would switch the time spent on the bridge from 15 minutes to 25 as it is the highlight of the trip, with the 25 minutes at Lands End. Just a thought. Also one could spend way more time in Goldengate Park but that would be another tour. Thanks again Mr. Candy Man for a wonderful re-visit of the City!!
-
Great tour!!! Very informative and saw fantastic sites.
-
First of all: excellent organization! Although we made our reservation just the night before the tour, the shuttle picked us up on time. The bus was brand new and comfortable. The driver was great and very funny! During the tour we stopped for 3 times and got the opportunity to take some great pictures. Also important: the price was fair. A good and comfortable way to see many places in San Francisco! -
Excellent. Vinnie was funny and kept the tour informative but light hearted.
-
The tour was very informative and educational. For visitors who have never been to San Francisco before, it was good to have someone drive us around the city and explain what we were seeing. I would recommend it for those who enjoy seeing and hearing while not having to worry about driving at the same time.
-
The tour was great! The tour guide was excellent!
-
It was a great experience. It was a rainy day so it was perfect to spend it being driven around to see the sights. Our driver did a super job of telling about everything we saw. It was a great day.
-
I strongly recommend this particular tour. We were only in San Fran for one full day and the tour covered many, many points of interest. Lots of opportunities to stop and take those photo memories. Booking procedure is easy to do and the driver and guide we had were both awesome !!
-
Excellent tour. Out driver made it even better with her comments.
-
Our tour guide was great. We would never had seen the things we saw had we not taken this tour! He was very knowledgeable. Thanks for helping us see more of the world!!
-
Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and the sites visited. The tour guide/driver did an excellent job narrating and describing all aspects of the sites visited and of the city. Everyone was really impressed with the tour. I will book another tour with you next time I visit San Francisco. Thanks.
-

We had an amazing tour guide. Loved the tour. Would highly recommend as a "must do" when visiting San Francisco. We've been to San Francisco several times and never took the tour before. We sure missed alot all those times before. Thanks for a great tour. Kim & Patrick Clark, WI -
Great tour!!
-
excellant we enjoyed our stay and tours in San Francisco. Beautiful city with so much to see and do. We came there for the 49ers game against the Bears, I'm a 49ers fan my husband a Bears fan we enjoyed the whole 49ers experierence. (sad though that they are moving the 49ers out of San Francisco) Everywhere we went everyone was so helpful and nice. Looking forward to our next visit. Terry Geneseo IL
-
Greatest tour our family ever took. The bus driver was so informative, so entertaining we wanted to go again.
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamBert, We hear this a lot: that the tour guide really makes the tour. They are very informative about what you are seeing and the history behind it. This tour company does a fantastic job and it explains why this is our #1 selling CITY tour. -
This was excellent and we enjoyed it immensely! The driver did a great job telling us so much about San Francisco. And he took a good four hours for the tour.
-
Would have like to stop at the Painted ladies house
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamThe reason the buses don't stop is that there is no adequate parking for tour buses in that area. Due to neighborhood complaints, The City is even considering measures to calm traffic near the painted ladies. -
The guide was excellent.
-
all was very good!))
-
Excellent 3 hour tour of San Francisco in a very comfortable bus. The tour guide was very accomodating in finding good photo stops, as well as providing neumorous facts about this beautiful city. Take this tour on your first day in San Francisco so that you can later explore various sites at you leisure. Also the tour guide answered questions, and at the end of the tour delivered a few people directly to thier hotel. If this is your first visit to the city, I highly recommend this very extensive tour.
-
The tour was great ! In 4,5 hours you will see all the highlights from San Francisco. I recommand this tour to everyone, visiting San Francisco for the first time. After the tour you can explore the most interesting spots by yourself. I am also very satisfied with the driver, I forgot his name, but he was half Italien/Half Cuban. He was very funny and informed us very well about the ins and outs of San Francisco. Highly recommanded !!! -
I've visited S.F. over 30x, and the tour included places I hadn't seen before. Definitely worth it--our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining, the coach was comfortable and included a rest room, the stops were well-timed and included plenty of photo opportunitess--both my wife and I were glad we took this tour.
-
Wonderful tour; about 3.5 hours long with about 4 stops; plenty of time to take pictures. I saw parts of San Francisco I'd never seen before; tour guide/driver was amusing and informative. Would highly recommend.
-
I found the tour very informative and learned many things about the city that I would not have known had I been on my own. The guide was also amazing. Very friendly and very pleasant from start to finish.
-
It was perfect. We loved it. The guide was informative and very pleasant. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks for helping make our visit special. Scoma's was delish! Linda
-
We booked through the Bay City Guide and they set us up with Tower Tours, everything went well with the reservation and the tour was wonderful, the driver was very good with the narration and the tour itself
-
We enjoyed the bus tour of San Francisco and our tour guide was very good.
-
This was a good decision - to see so much in so short a time in the comfort of the bus and a great guide as well. Almost all of the San Fran sites on the tour and enough time at the key points.
-
Great tour. Our guide was awesome with not only being very kowledgeable about the history of San Francisco, but with the way he maneuvered the bus. haha...he had quite a bit of the passengers', not to mention my own, adrenaline's pumping with how close he got to other objects on the road, as well as close to areas where there were no roads (just cliffs), but no one was actually worried about it. He also extended the tour, as to get everyone's money's worth, and took us over the golden gate bridge to another area with incredible views. Great job!
-
Silvio was great!
-
Great three hour tour which was as comprehensive and enjoyable as one can imagine. Only wish we could have seen Alcatraz. -
The tour was fantastic and a great way to see the city! We really enjoyed our guide and his knowledge of the area, the coach was comfy, and it was wonderfully convenient to be picked up right at our hotel!
-
Great tour and gets 5 stars. Getting us back to hotel was a super gesture.
-
This tour was wonderful. It was a very comprehensive tour, and my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tour guide was so informative and had a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend it!!
-
My girlfriend and I enjoyed the tour a lot. In fact, we have taken a lot of tours and we rate this tour the best we have ever taken. Harold, our driver, was outstanding on this tour and also on the full day Napa-Sonoma wine tour as well. He has a great sense of humor and is a nice person as well. (We're not related.) I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner to your email but we were on another vacation and we just got back yesterday.
-
On time. Excellent Trip. The tour guide is very nice and funny. Well recommended for a single traveller like me who just want to see SF for a day.
-
The ease of enjoying a wonderful overview of the city made it possible for my elderly mother to see all of the wonderful sites from when she lived there in the forties. We all had a grand time.
-
The pickup was punctual and it was a hassle free experience registering for the tour. The tour guide was humorous and knowledgeable in providing insight into the history behind the sites visited, as well as how it is like in the city today. I would highly recommend this for visitors wishing to know more about the beautiful city of SFO.
-
It was an amazing tour. There were six of us and we all had an incredible time. Our driver was awesome, very informative and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. As a matter of fact, we plan to return and take the Muir Woods tour one day. Thank you...Geri Havens
-

-
I would give it 10 stars. A really great experience!!!
-
I really enjoyed the tour. You get to see a lot of the city. The tour guide was informative and entertaining. It is nice that they make stops for you to get out and walk around and use the bathroom. It is also an excellent feature that they offer pick up and drop off for tour goers. An excellent value.
-
Good tour. Very informative, good value!
-
It was a really nice tour we had, a good guide. The only thing we had hoped for was that we got closer to lombard street. Sorry we couldent get a FOTO with, we had a beutiful picture from twinpeaks. Kim and vivi
-
Excellent orientation tour - first day in San Francisco ,We were able to chose to visit particular areas that appealed because of the first rate overview. The driver was most helpful and ensured a fun tour. The fact that it was a terrific day weatherwise also helped. Merrilyn Beeny
-
The only unfortunate fact about my experience is that my digital camera died but luckily I bought a disposable ahead of time (yes, they are still sold world-wide) so my captured memories are in there. So as I patiently wait to develop those memories, the ones in my head are fortunately very present. Our tour guide was amazing, full of information and whit! Though every location was a sight to see, he made our experience fun and exciting in the bus with interesting facts about SF as well as some personal ones. If you can somehow look up who was working that day, please thank him on my behalf for making my first San Francisco trip a memorable one!
-
OMG! What a fabulous tour! I learned so much and I can't wait to take the next tour on my next visit. There is so much to see and your tour guide was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour company! Thank you for a great trip!
-
We enjoyed the tour a great deal. Our driver was entertaining and informative. The weather was almost perfect The day was great! -
excellent tour! Jon was an awesome tour guide, he really knows his info on the city and is funny!! I will recommend this tour to family who is traveling next month! San Fran is a beautiful city a great way to see all the sights!
-
George was more than an outstanding guide. He was a teacher, an entertainer, and pleasant companion for an amazing half-day. I'd take advantage of other tours if I'm ever in the area again. Thanks.
-
My husband and I were visiting san Francisco for the first time and we had a great time taking this tour we learned so much about the city ! We can't wait to go back !
-
I loved the tour. The driver was the best, he really new what he was talking about. I learned lots a new thing. Thank you.I well be referring my friend and family.
-
I expected more.
-
Very enjoyable tour; helps first time visitors to get an overview of all the most interesting and scenic sights within a 3 hour period; great value, especially if booked online. I appreciated being picked up from the train station
-
I had Peter as a guide. He was terrific. Did I believe ALL his facts,no, but he surely kept us entertained. We covered a lot of ground and he was very accommodating to those on the bus.
-
He did a good job but the problem is when he is both driving and talking and he cannot see the tourists to answer questions, etc. This is NOT his fault, it is the way you have the tour set up
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamHi Barbara, Many of the tours we offer use driver/guides who are more than happy to answer questions - if they can't get to them while driving they're than happy to answer questions at the stops. Thanks for using GuideYou.com -
I must start by saying "everything happens for a reason". I originally paid for a tour (for myself and my niece) through another company. We were only going to be in SFO for a short time, Thurs through Sunday. We I called the other company to arrange a tour date and time, they weren't able to accomodate us. Once I cancelled with them, I called GuideYou and immediately booked the date and time I wanted online. The tour guide/driver was fabulous!!! He was very knowledgeable, personable and hilarious. He went above and beyond his duties. My 15 year old niece kept saying "the tour was the best part of our vacation. The only thing I regard is not remembering the guides' name to include it in this review. Thank you GuideYou for a awesome tour, We will never forget our first trip to SFO. Beverly and Sydney :-)
-
The Bus driver was fantastic, very informative, funny and offered plenty of travel tips around San Francisco. Would highly recommend to anyone.
-
It was a very good tour and the tour guide knew his stuff!
-
It was a good experience. Jon was the guide and driver who was good too. As Iam from Asia, some of the information he said that was related to local was not understood by me. If others enjoyed 101% then i'd say i enjoyed 90% :) -
If you really want to see ALL of San Francisco, this is the tour for you. I was happy that I went with it verses the shorter one because I was able to walk around Fisherman Wharf on my own. I was not able to get to all the other places that this tour explored, such as up to Twin Peaks and other surrounding neighborhoods. My only suggestion is, if possible, get yourself to the orginating location and back to your hotel. They did offer complimentary pick up and drop off, which was nice, but it took forever and added another two hours on to an already long bus tour.
-
We enjoyed the tour and saw things we would not have been able to see.
-
My wife and i really enjoyed the tour, the driver was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. He really made the tour !!
-
The tour guide was awesome! We had fun!
-
Very good tour with nice stops along the way. The driver did a great job of narrating the tour and a few comical comments along the way. Also, the driver was very professional and friendly to all. Would do it again.
-
We really enjoyed the tour and the tour guide was excellent. We saw so much of San Francisco and had plenty of opportunity to take pictures. I would have liked to spend less time at City Hall and more time at the Golden Gate Bridge since we felt rushed there. A complaint we had was that the guideyou.com website indicated that our hotel was included on the list of hotels that we can be picked up at. But we found out once we were in the city that the website was not correct. We had to take a cab to another hotel about a mile and a half away in order to be picked up.
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamAnthony, every once in a while we run into this problem where an operator changes his list of hotels and even though we are a major vendor for them they forget to inform us. We see that you only had to go a few blocks by the records with the operator and we are willing to reimburse you the cab fare if you want to contact us. -
Highly recomanded. The tour is beatifull and our Driver George was great!
-
The bus was a large one and was very comfy. Our guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable. I'm a photographer and would like to have had a few more stops, just 5 minutes, for photo opps, and I wish they'd have taken us to either the top or the bottom of the Crookedest Street, for photo opps, and maybe by some other (Coit Tower) places, but I guess they had their reasons for not doing so. Disappointing also that we didn't get to go up on the Twin Peaks site. It was a good tour.
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamSorry you didn't get to Twin Peaks but when it's foggy there isn't anything to see. -
Fantastic trip, the tour guide really knew his stuff!!!!
-
Great tour, especially for those who are short on time in San Francisco. We saw pretty much everything we needed to see and it was great to get off the bus and spend time at the Golden Gate Bridge and other points of interest. The tour guide was excllent and knew his stuff.
-
It was great We really enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge and the ARCHITECTURE and Haight Ashbury
-
Great tour of the city. A lot of information are given and our tour guide was the best. His jokes and the information he gave us made the whole experience worthed. In addition the tour covers almost all you need to see in San Francisco. Great experience!
-
The tour we had was wonderful. We got a fantastic overview of the whole city in just three (3) hours. Our guide, George, was fantastic - great personality and very informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco whether it is their first time or a return visit.
-
Loved the tour! Very knowledgeable tour guides!!! -
Tour was great. Our driver was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend it.
-
Super bus, great guide - would do again
-
Got to see all the major sites and learn some history along the way. The guide was knowledgeable but got a little political toward the end, but hey, we are all entitled to an opinion. Would recommend! -
Our tour guide, Wolfgang, is the BEST! He is extraordinarily prepared with information and side lines regarding San Francisco, its people, places and history, and delivers a thorough explanation while snaking the large comfortable bus through narrow streets and hillsides. The tour is relaxed and unrushed, and is worth every cent.
-
John was our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and amusing. He went out of his way to accommodate his little flock and kept us all entertained and informed. The tour itself covers a lot of ground and a lot of information about your lovely city.
-
Very informative. Saw all the sights of SF. I thought it was wonderful.
-
Good tour! We learned a lot about the city.
-
We only had a couple days in San Francisco and the Deluxe San Francisco City Tour was a great way to see all the major sights and sounds that San Fran has to offer - in an economical way. Our tour guide had a lot of entertaining and informative information to offer, as well as great tips as to how to beat the trolley lines! We can't wait to come back and try some of the other tours your company has to offer!
-
It was a great experience and and a tour guy he was the high light of the tour. My guests from oversease and I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the experience and delightful services.
-
The tour was great overall, enabling us to see the majority of the big sights in San Fran and our driver was very knowledgeable. Very interesting and worth the price however we did not see Lombard St. It was advertised on the brochure but at the end there apparently wasn't enough time and he took a vote as to which way people wanted to return. Apart from that, well worth it.
Response from the GuideYou.com TeamHi Samantha, Thanks for your feedback and glad you had a good time. The tour may vary slightly from driver to driver. Lombard street is best viewed on foot or by car since the large buses can't drive down the crooked street. -
My husband and I had a great time toufic the great city of San Franscico. Te tour guide had so much knowledge of the history of the city and all the sights we stope at.
-
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the sites of San Francisco. I plan to take another tour the next time I visit.
-
Our driver and tour guide "Larry" was very knowledgeable and provided his own personal perspective of the city adding realism and colour to a very interesting city, it was a great tour.
-
This tour was very enjoyable and our driver took us to several interesting downtown areas which were brought alive by his very knowledgable and wry commentary. My wife and I did this same tour a few years ago and were very impressed when, this time, we exited Golden Gate Park via the road alongside the beach. The history and development of San Francisco as detailed by our driver was fascinating and fulfilling and this second shot at this same tour was far superior to our earlier experience. The only adverse comment I have is that our driver strongly advocated his own lunch/dining preferences as being the ones we should take, but we are all different and we chose to take lunch at his non-preferred lunch spot and found it to be excellent and entirely to our taste. Despite this comment, the driver had the best of intentions and when taking into account the quality of the tour and his excellent performance, it was really no big deal! This tour of San Francisco is highly recommended!
-
The tour guide did an excellent job in showing and talking about the sites listed in the tour.
-
Our driver Larry was Great, he Seems to know everything about san francisco. Normally i do Not Like These Tours, but wih Larry ist was Fun.
-
It was great with John 5 Starts
