Reviews

This was great! We walked throughout San Francisco with a local and felt great and not like a regular tour with a big company. A lot of interesting information on SF history, recommendations and funny jokes.

Highlights of San Francisco
This is the ideal way to start a visit to San Francisco as a first time visitor. It was a very comprehensive and detailed walk (and some ride). Dara was a very enthusiastic and informative guide who covered the history and background to San Francisco very well. Make sure you have good footwear as you will be walking a fair way. Highly recommended.

We did this tour during COVID-19!!
We did this tour during COVID-19 and it was perfect! So happy that Dara was willing to work with our family of five. We walked and drove our car instead of public transport. We felt completely safe. The tour was so informative and fun! I made a huge list of museums to visit when they all open up again. I would have never found all the little stores and learned the rich history on my own. Definitely a memorable tour during a memorable time. Thank you Dara!!

FAQs

What is the rescheduling policy?

We are aware that plans might change. You may easily change your tour up to 24 hours before departure. We provide a 100% refund up to 24 hours before the start of your tour. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.

What if it rains?

Our tours go on rain or shine, so please check the weather forecast before you go. If we have to cancel due to severe weather conditions, we will give you the option to reschedule or get a full refund.

What about gratuities?

Tips are always appreciated, but they are never expected. They’re an excellent way to express your gratitude and tell your guide that they did a fantastic job.
