McKinnon2, Sep 2026
Well organised, friendly, good value double up tour.
We had a great day that was guided by Laura. She was very personable and pointed out so many places of interest. She added in lots of anecdotes. We were in a small open air van and we really enjoyed that aspect of the tour. Hop on hop off tours are too onerous for me as I have some mobility issues. We did stop and get out at the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of fine arts. Lovely short stops! The pick up arrangements were clear and we were let out at the ferry landing for the Alcatraz ferry. Not everyone did that part of the tour but we were glad we did. Once at Alcatraz you get an audio set and it’s great. An added bonus for me was that a little trolley was available for anyone with mobility issues to take me up to the top to start the cell tour. It’s a steep climb.

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!

Took a guided electric bike ride throughout the city with Jack. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend a guided tour as the city can be confusing, the traffic heavy, and the hills very very steep.

San Francisco Private City Tour

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.

Michael (tour guide) was the Filet Mignon - Unlimited Bikes the Ground Beef
Spent 5 days in San Fracisco and BY FAR the best part of our trip was our E-Bike tour with Michael! We had some issues with the bikes - some minor and some major. So, I would definitely recommend that you inspect your bike and the settings and make sure you do some practice runs up the street. Had to change my bike out 3 times before the tour started. We later found out that my daughter's bike would not go up steep inclines - just shut down. This was confirmed by our tour guide and he told us the light green bikes, which my daughter had, are not very powerful and have issues. So, DO NOT GET THE LIGHT GREEN BIKES! My daughter had to walk her bike up 3 or 4 steep hills and that was the worst. So, the bike rental company should really have to refund part of our payment. Regardless, Michael was amazing and took us all over and gave us all sorts of cool facts about the city. He even raced back and retrieved my daughter's fanny-pack that she left behind at a previous stop. I can't rave enough about Michael. Truly, his service and care and total attention to us to make sure we had a good time by far compensated for the crappy bike the bike rental shop gave my daughter.

Our time with Fred was perfect! We only had a couple of requests for stops, so Fred mapped out our 4 hours together to ensure that we saw as much of his beloved city as possible. We visited many of the more famous landmarks, but also saw several sites that simply took our breath away. The history and the stories that he shared added so much to our day also!
