Great 5⭐️ service. Door to door service. No rush or dependent on a larger group. We went at our own pace. Definitely worth the premium price over a larger group tour. Would book again.

If you want to walk around the city with good people and a great guide, then this is it! Josh knows his stuff with a camera and makes sure you learn it. The people in the group were a ton of fun, with a variety of skills. Josh knew a lot of the history of the area and was not shy in sharing. The quality of the photos I took has surprised me and made me anxious to head out on another walk with Josh. You should come too!

I found myself with a free afternoon during a last-minute business trip and decided to try and book a tour last minute, and am very happy I chose this one!The trek itself was exactly what I was looking for. It was engaging, fun, and packed with crazy facts about the city's history that you’d never find on a standard sightseeing bus. Chris was an amazing tour guide! He even sent over a curated list of recommendations for the rest of my stay, from the best local coffee spots to hidden viewpoints I actually had time to visit between meetings. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a great San Francisco experience. If you're short on time but want a high-quality, local perspective, book this now!
