Vantigo – The Original San Francisco VW Bus Tour

Original. Genuine. Just book it.
This is the San Francisco VW van tour you need to take. Harvey is a cool, authentic, classic VW van, and took us up and down the beautiful San Francisco hills like the little engine that could. Our guide Chad is a real one. You can tell he genuinely loves the city, is excited about the history, and made the tour so darn fun. We sang, we laughed, we had chocolate, got to see the sights and learn some stuff. We saw the city from an amazing vantage point only a true local could know about. We enjoyed meeting the other ladies on the tour too, it was truly such a great afternoon. Don’t be fooled by those wild paint jobs of the others. If you want substance more than flash, this is a much more worthwhile and original tour to choose. Thanks so much to Chad, you have no idea how much getting to spend that time touring around town with you Harvey meant to my friend. Her San Francisco dream come true. (Shout out to George btw, you sound pretty cool and your painted lady is beautiful!)

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History
nicolehX6335YN, Sep 2026
Great experience
This was such a great tour. Andre, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable (and is quite an interesting individual in the best of ways).It just so happened to be a very small group (just 4 if us including our guide), which I loved. Chinatown and Little Italy have so much history, too much to experience in one trip, but Andre managed to pack A LOT into the 3-hour tour.TIP: Be sure to check the weather when packing and dress in layers if it's typical SF weather (55-65 degrees). I didn't enjoy it as much as I would've because I was chilly, but that's my fault for not dressing appropriately.

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History

Chinatown/North Beach Walking Tour
I would recommend to do this first. Not intended to be a shopping tour, but educational and will help you identify what you really want to visit on your own time. Be patient, not everyone has proper table etiquette, especially at a round table. Some people always feel the need to get to the front of the line or they will miss out., don’t worry, there’s plenty to share. And if you have separate from your spouse during snacks, enjoy the opportunity to have a conversation with someone you’ve never had a conversation with. I enjoyed that. Help the tour guide by speaking up if there are no utensils or beverages at table. At last stop pizza arrived and there were no utensils. The pizza was thin, and hard transfer by hand. Sanitizer was readily available though. Glass of water was requested, but only 1/4, no ice, was poured???? Tour guide did ask about food allergies, but participants should use that opportunity to disclose such things as “I don’t eat pork”. Bring good walking shoes get familiar with group in case someone gets slowed in traffic. That will help the guide out. We were in SanFran 4 days, only thing I’d do differently is put this excursion 1st. Tour Guide have us extra time, about 1/2 hour extra. Tour could easily be 5 or 6 hours if you want to get in to it. I already know where my next meals will be. Thanks Andre’. I definitely recommend this tour on the front end.

Comfy,Clean and Intimate Experience
Awesome tour! We started with a clean new van equipped with charging cables, which was a great touch. Chris was amazing, friendly knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations for places to eat and visit in while we were in San Francisco. The tour was fantastic and gave us the opportunity to see and visit many of the cities wonderful sights. Chris really helped us appreciate the layout, history and heritage of San Francisco. We especially love the small intimate group experience. It allowed us to spend more time seeing the sites we were most interested in and gave us the opportunity to ask questions that may not have been possible with a larger group. I highly recommend Chris and his tour. It was enjoyable, informative, and a memorable experience. I highly recommend!

How can you not book with Vantigo
Vantigo is undoubtedly the best way to see San Francisco! Being a classic car aficionado, I was already interested just a ride in a classic VW bus. Well, I wasn't disappointed.The ride is iconic, the tour guide is friendly and fun, the tour takes you to the major sites, as well as since you didn't know that you needed to go. I just can't see enough good things about this company! I feel like a San Fran insider now, lol. We went a couple of months ago, but we're thinking about going again, and this tour will definitely be at the top of our list!!

10/10 Would Recommend
We did the "Down the Rabbit Hole" tour and met the with astrologer. It was an absolutely perfect evening! It was just our group at the museum, so we had the place to ourselves. Our tour guide was incredible-- by the end it felt like she was our friend, we'd shared so many stories and experiences. The museum itself is incredible-- so much attention to detail, each room is magnificent and has it's own ambiance. It's a little pricey, but I felt it was totally worth it. I highly recommend, and I would absolutely go again and enjoy a different tour.

Great e-bike San Francisco tour
An incredible way to experience the best of the San Francisco Bay Area! Our bike tour gave us the perfect mix of scenic nature, beautiful historic neighborhoods, vibrant parks, and the unforgettable thrill of riding right across the Golden Gate Bridge. Spotting Wildlife: The absolute highlight of our ride was getting to see whales out in the water—such an extraordinary and unexpected bonus! A World-Class Guide: A huge thank you to our guide, Eli, who made the entire tour seamless, informative, and so much fun. If you want a thrilling, front-row seat to San Francisco’s most iconic sights, this tour is an absolute must-do!

You want traditional Chinese food. This is the right place. Kenric really good guide.
This food tour has been one of the greatest ones that we have ever been to. We love going on food tours and we have some experience and this one, top 3.- Guide Kenric - he was great, knowledgeable and polite. As the tour was taking place, he would tell us stories about Chinatown, really good ones. - Food - delicious. Make sure that you either skip breakfast or have a light one. There is a lot of tasty food. - 6 stops: two sweets, and 4 savory (fried rice, dumplings, dim sum, Cantonese duck, Chinese curry, vegetables… - There is not too much walking. Three hours fly by.
