Great way to see SF in a few hours
Randy was an awesome tour guide. You immediately felt like you had known him for years. Very knowledgeable of SF and its history. He was great at answering everyone's questions and made sure we saw all of the important parts of SF in the short time we were here. The Toyota Sienna was very clean, comfortable and easy to get in and out at stops for all age groups. Randy did mention larger groups go on a shuttle bus but since we had a smaller group we were able to take a van. If you are wanting to see SF in a day you should take this tour.

Everything was great until I had to buy two extra tickets and they were not honored as for the time I bought them for, so our party had to split and make it to the island literally two hours later. Made things inconvenient. Shouldn’t let a second purchase happen if your system doesn’t recognize that it’s a second purchase!
