Traveler reviews
Great experience!
This tour was excellent! Jack was a fantastic tour guide! We learned so much about San Fransisco and the different areas. It was a great and fun way to see the city. Would recommend and do again!
Greatest part of our visit to the city!
Jack was amazing! Fighting July 4th traffic, improvised and had a great time with some great info! Always upbeat and full of laughs!
Best tour I have ever...
Best tour I have ever taken. Fun. Educational. Our guide was not only a great person but a great and thoughtful man. We appreciate all he did.
Fun tour of the city
Tour guide was terrific - very personable and eager to ensure everyone had a great time. The tour offered a great opportunity to see a lot of neighborhoods in the city with some fun historical context as well. The vintage bus was fun and our family of four (including 2 grown kids) had a great time. The price is a little steep in my opinion, but I don't regret booking the tour. Overall, I'd recommend it as a fun way to tour various areas of the city.
Painted Ladies and Dominic were awesome!
Great tour w/ Painted Ladies tour co! Excellent communication and Dominic was just a great local guide. The classic VW bus was amazing and really added to the fun. Great mix of history and current day information throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
