A wonderful way to experience San Francisco – thanks to Pep!
We did a half-day private city tour of San Francisco with Pep Cearnal (the owner), and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit.I have generally found city tours to be a little routine, but this one was anything but that. Pep has a wonderful combination of deep knowledge of San Francisco and a very engaging, conversational style. She took the time to explain the history, background and interesting little stories behind the places we visited, rather than simply driving us from one sightseeing spot to another.We covered many of San Francisco’s principal sights and neighbourhoods, including Pacific Heights and some of its beautiful homes, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Union Square and the Palace of Fine Arts. Pep also showed us some fascinating locations connected with well-known personalities and Hollywood movies, including the famous Mrs. Doubtfire house and a home associated with Steve Jobs and his family. Her knowledge of the city, its neighbourhoods, architecture, people and history made the tour far more interesting than we had expected.What stood out even more, however, was Pep herself. She is extremely customer-friendly, warm, accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Nothing felt rushed or mechanical. She was flexible, attentive to what interested us and made the whole experience feel more like exploring San Francisco with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a conventional guided tour.Pep also has a very engaging personality, and conversation with her flowed effortlessly throughout the tour. By the end of the few hours we spent together, we felt we had not only seen San Francisco but had also understood and experienced the city a little better.We returned home to India with very fond memories of San Francisco, and Pep played a big part in creating them. We would happily recommend her and Alegro Private Tours to anyone looking for a personalised and enjoyable way to see the city.

Great trip and guide
We had a great time seeing the beauty of the California coast. Fred, our guide, was ready and waiting for us when we got to our hotel lobby. He apologized for being a bit early and even offered to stop right away for us to get morning coffee. We declined, but our first break was at a wonderful bakery in Pacifica. Along the drive, he offered history and insights on the the towns we passed through as well as the agriculture and flora. The views of Half Moon Bay, Carmel-by- the-Sea, and Big Sur were stunning. Would highly recommend this great trip, and Fred.

If your looking for the PERFECT GUIDE, ask for Marciano!!!
Marciano was beyond five stars — truly a 10/10! From the beginning, he felt less like our tour guide and more like part of the family. He laughed with us, joined our conversations, took amazing photos, shared great stories and movie trivia, and took us to beautiful places we didn't even know we needed to see.Most importantly, he was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating, especially while traveling with our elderly parents. He made our entire Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur experience easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. His knowledge, generosity, and genuine kindness are unmatched. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marciano!

Awesome tour of Silicon Valley from SF.
Fred was our tour guide for the day from Dingo Tours for this Silicon Valley half day trip from SF. Fred was awesome, full of knowledge about Silicon Valley companies and their history and a very happy and accomodating person. He was also a Brazilian soccer fan, which added to the fun aspect, as we were traveling from Sydney Australia to watch the WC matches.Fred gave us a quick outline of the day. First stop was the Meta office, Menlo Park. Interestingly, it was the same office which Sun Microsystems had previously occupied. Being an ex-Sun employee, I was very nostalgic. Fred gave us a quick drive around the campus and then parked to take a picture of us in front of the Meta logo! Funny part was, behind the Meta logo was the old Sun logo, which was such a nice coincidence!The next stop was Stanford University. It was a zip code of its own. Fred gave us some tips on what to see in the short time. We went to see the church, the gift shop and the tower which house a lot of Hoover memorabilia. The view from the top was brilliant, you could capture the width of the entire Stanford campus. The ground floor was a museum. The entry to top floor was ticketed at USD8 per person. Was a good experience.Then next 2 stops were Google office, Mountain View and Apple office, Cupertino. The Google office was just an office with the ground floor having a Google store. After some quick pictures with Google sign boards, we went to Apple which was our final destination. That was a rare experience, getting into Apple Store and visitor’s centre. Shows how Apple can market themselves to blow the socks off its competitors. The Apple visitors centre had a model of the entire campus including office which was built in the shape of a space station. They have interactive iPads which gives a complete immersive experience of each building when you look at the actual model and tap the same building on the iPad. It also had a store and cafe with clean toilets. And if you and T up to the second floor, you would see the actual office building. Great experience for professional nerds who always wanted to be part of Apple, even if from the outside.Overall the tour was a good experience and would def recommend this tour, specially with Fred who was amazing throughout!

We had breakfast at the café near the bridge. It was a great place for the view. We did park a little bit away from the café since it was hard to find parking. You just have to walk uphill a little bit, the café was a bit crowded that day so you do have to have time. There is a long way to get a table and his first come first serve,

My family went on the private tour service with Pep. Pep was amazing! We had 2 kids and needed baby car seat. She had no issue with this and car was super clean too. She explained very well on the history, knew great view points as well where lesser traffic and people. Overall tour was amazing because it was private tour and things could be adjusted based on our needs and time! Definitely recommend Pep! 👍
