The whole experience is something not to be missed. The staff was helpful and informative. The GPS led route was amazing and the informative recorded dialogue came in at just the right time. Terrific family thing to do when visiting SF!

Zipping around town was super fun! We loved seeing all the sights but missed a couple turns because the volume kept changing even though we had the knob all the way up. We missed some fun facts as well. All in all we had a great time!
