Overview

Our SF in a Day tour will take you places that no other San Francisco tour does, traversing the city by cable-car, rail & bus to visit enchanted gardens, secret stairs & glorious rooftop vistas, creating an unforgettable experience. You’ll avoid crowds at the tourist hot-spots, while experiencing the culture of SF & learning its history.

We’ll start your tour near the Embarcadero & take the cable-car up to Nob Hill. From there we go to City Hall (or Cable Car Museum) &, after going inside, we can grab a coffee in Hayes Valley.

After that we head to the Castro, then walk through Dolores Park. We finish the morning part of the tour in the Haight, it's a great place to get some lunch.

After that we take you to see an icon of San Francisco, the Painted Ladies. That's followed by a walk down another SF icon, Lombard Street. We finish the tour with a walk through North Beach & Chinatown. By then you’ll have had a fantastic experience of SF & made some beautiful memories to take home.

We enjoyed visiting all the different areas of San Francisco. We would have had trouble getting around that easily without someone who knew the transit system & what went where. Our guide was very knowledgeable & obviously loved his city. Great tour if you want to get a broad overview of the city.

Mark was a good guide, we were met at the right place, at the right time and was welcomed to the city with genuine enthusiasm. The tour itself was very informative and covered a wide array of subjects, landmarks and trivial facts. All in all, my wife and I thought it was well worth every penny we spent because we got to see and visit places we never would have been able to get to on our own. Thank you!

My most great memory of the tour is how our guide was so knowledgeable of San Francisco history, and how he explained everything with such accuracy and patience to the ones that had many questions

This walking and public transport tour gave us a great insight into the history of the places we visited and allowed us better access to sights than if we took a tour bus. Our tour guide Mark was very knowledgeable and had a story for every street we walked on. He was flexible as to how much time we spent at each place as we were the only bookings for the day. The buses and cable cars were mostly frequent with very little waiting time between sites. Would recommend this tour if you don't mind a bit of walking and want to get an insight into the history of San Francisco.

My friend and I really enjoyed this well curated and comprehensive one day tour of SF's "highlights". I'd highly recommend it especially if you are short on time and want to maximise your SF experience. Our native San Franciscan tour guide Mark, particularly added to our enjoyment of the experience with his broad knowledge and engaging manner. Whilst it was a long tour (approx 8 hrs including lunch break) , time slipped by quickly. We'd highly recommend it.
