Traveler reviews
Worst Gray line tour ever
1. Driver did not fasten seat belt when driving 2. Not a passionate and professional tour guide 3. Malfunctioned with the car and force everyone leave and take ferry back to the city on our own
Tarek was outstanding
Our tour guide was the most friendly, knowledgeable gentleman that I've ever had the pleasure of taking a tour with. He made everything interesting, knew the answers to almost every question, and most importantly made everything fun. I would highly recommend this tour company but definitely try to have your tour guided by Tarek.
What's with all the bad reviews? This tour was amazing!
I actually hadn't read any of the reviews before the tour, so I had no idea what to expect. When we got on the bus, it was us, a group from Alberta, and a group from Alabama. Due the small number of people, we ended up getting our tour a bit personalized. Our tour guide Danilo was really nice and had a great sense of humour. He gave us as much time as we wanted. The lengths of the tour and the stops were perfect and I have no complaints whatsoever. Don't listen to the bad reviews! Grayline is amazing!
Great fun!
Thank you so much, we had an amazing day with Jess, Vicky and Robert the driver <3 Would definitely recommend to start off your time in San Francisco with this tour so then you can go back and eat and drink in all places Jess recommends (you will NOT regret it)
This 3,5 - 4 hours tour gave us the...
<p>This 3,5 - 4 hours tour gave us the gist of San Francisco if you don't have the time to do a day tour. Robert was our driver and tour guide, and he was very knowledgable and good in giving information and also the history of the city. We were on a big nice van that can fit approximately 30 people, for the 5 of us. It would be better if they could accommodate us in a smaller van or SUV for easy manouver and mobilisation to avoid traffic. </p> <p>The only bothering issue was during the booking confirmation process. I emailed viator to confirm the booking and to find out other details about the tour, and was pushed to Gray Line as the tour operator. I found out that instead of a private tour, I was put into the general tour and there is nothing that the staff could do even after explaining to them that I have paid for a private city tour. For 3 days of emailing complaints back and forth to Viator, finally the Gray Line GM, Chris, called and managed to rectify everything for me. I was happy that finally the issue was settled few hours before the tour took place. </p> <p>Despite the traffic and limitation of using a big van, Robert managed to get us to see the most of San Francisco. Yes, you need to be quick in getting pictures and make sure that you get your toilet break and snacks throughout the tour as you only have 4 hours to spend. In general, we are happy with the tour at the end of the day.</p>
