Traveler reviews
Traveling siblings
I am oldest of 6 siblings ages 70 to 65 who were here to visit the city. Some apprehensive of tight spaces and steep hills. THIS WAS THE BEST THING WE DID in San Francisco! Good space in the Van. Very attentive to everyone needs especially with the hills. Super Guide with loads of outstanding information and plenty of good jokes. He met us on our level. Some of us had been to San Francisco before but got lots more out of the city after doing this outstanding tour. Thanks!
Perfect Tour
Josh was an excellent tour guide! We learned so much about San Francisco and the sights! He took us to a long list of places and a gave us great overview of the area. It was so fun to tour in a VW bus. If you're short on time in San Francisco this is great tour to see the top sights. If you're spending several days, this is a great start to planning the rest of your time. Highly recommend!
BIG thumbs UP for Painted Ladies Tours!
Jack was our tour guide for the 3-hour private tour and he went above and BEYOND in providing my friend and me a top notch guided tour of “all things” San Francisco. Just WOW! He provided historical context to each of our sites visited while also engaging in great conversations in the van (Pearl). She’s a beauty! He inquired about our “must see’s”, showed us each one (and many, many more), while also providing us some time to get out and explore some of them on our own. And his music playlist added great ambiance to our travels! Would highly recommend Painted Ladies to anyone seeking a personalized or group tour. Ask for Jack!
