Reviews

Very good tour to take. Our driver was wonderful and made the tour very fun! We may have found some of the sites that we saw on our own, but listening to our driver describe what we were seeing was the perfect way to experience these sites.

Bryan T., United States, 01-2012

The tour guide was great. It was a fun ride and very interesting. We were glad we took the tour on the cable car.

Juanita V., United States, 09-2011

The guide was very good, and we had a lot of fun. It was a most enjoyable cable car tour.

Juanita V., United States, 09-2011

Tour was fun, saw parts of San Francisco I do not usually see. Wish we would have had a stop at the Palace of Fine Arts. Tour Guide was very good.

Lesa r., United States, 08-2011

EXCELENT

Marv H., Canada, 08-2011

This was one of the highlights of our visit to San Frandisco. The driver dispensed lots of helpful information about the city.

Bruce & Jolene J., United States, 08-2011

good tour, but be sure you get what you think you ordred.

Michael R., Denmark, 07-2011

This tour was worthwhile, giving a great overview of San Francisco. The guide was very informative, and helped to make decisions about which parts of San Francisco to explore further at your leisure.

Barbara L., Australia, 07-2011

It was an excellent tour and the tour guide made every effort to make it informative and entertaining. Our family group consisted of two senior citizens and one 12 year old, and we all thought it was great.

Dixie M., United States, 07-2011

A very comprehensive tour of San Francisco, guide was very proffesional, knowledgable and helpful, took many photos for all passengers.

Kay P., United Kingdom, 04-2011

Tour was awesome saw and learned many thing about San Francisco that we would have never known Tour guide was amazing

Lori G., United States, 04-2011

Superior Tour. Best in San Fran.

Robert F., United States, 03-2011

a great overview for a first time visitor - excellent guide and good value for this cost.

patti M., United States, 03-2011

My cousin from England and my daughter and granddaughter took your tour. We had the best time. I had been to SF many times, but have never seen all we saw on this tour. We were all so very satisfied!We have recommended this to all of our friends.

Janet K., United States, 02-2011

I liked the fact that the cable car was going places the large tour busses could not. It saved me a lot of walking and took me places I might otherwise missed.

Gisela Z., Canada, 11-2010

This was a very interesting tour that took us to places we would not otherwise have seen in San Francisco.

Cynthia S., United States, 10-2010

This trolley tour goes across the Golden Gate Bridge so that's pretty exciting. The driver was informative and entertaining.

Vicki R., Australia, 10-2010

The tour was good, however more stops to take photo's would have been good. They should also add in Lombard St. The trolly probably can not go down the street, but would have been nice to just see the street from the top or bottom.

Sue P., Canada, 09-2010

Difficulty hearing guide.

Cynthia S., Canada, 09-2010

My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the city and our driver was very educated on the sites and history.

maricela g., United States, 08-2010

very much worth the money, very nice tour guide and very informative. I especially liked the touch of having blankets for us people from Arizona who are not used to the cold and windy conditions.

Agnes W., United States, 08-2010

Great tour for the price. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Hit all the right spots!

Kevin B., United States, 08-2010

Nice tour if you only have an afternoon and are interested in getting an overall tour of the city.

Mina B., United States, 08-2010

DEBRA G., United States, 08-2010

The only problem I had was that where we went to get the tickets wasn't very well labeled. Our tour was the cable car tour. Also the tour guide was excellent! Sorry I can not remember his name! We had trouble with our car when the horn blow and the mic stopped working, he was very good!

Lucy H., Australia, 07-2010

This was the best tour ever, I believe that this is the perfect way to view the city. Thank you!

Kahleela A., United States, 07-2010

Guide was very informative and professional. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Susan K., United States, 07-2010

This tour was great! The guide (Mike) was terrific - funny, witty and gave so much information about S.F. The only thing I would have liked would have been to make a few stops - just to take some pictures. We had one stop (across the GG bridge), but it would have been nice to stop at several places along the way, if only for 5 min. Other than that, it was wonderful and our guide was top-notch!

Shelley T., United States, 07-2010

Enjoyed the history and facts. The tour gave us ideas as to what to visit next.

Peggy C., United States, 06-2010

Although the driver was very nice, he was very difficult to understand

David & Laura B., United States, 06-2010

very fun.

Ivan J., United States, 05-2010

The tour was very nice; however, due to the tour guides thick accent, we were unable to understand anything he was saying.

Auvida G., United States, 03-2010

We live in the Bay Area and have been to San Francisco many times, but this was the first cable car tour we took and we were very pleased with the overall quality of it. We went on the tour on Christmas day. We were there 15 minutes early as advised and boarded right away. We were supposed to leave at 1:30pm but we just sat there and waited. I guess they were trying to see if they could get more people at the last minute. The kids were bored. The car was almost full when we finally left at 1:45. Our driver Eric was very friendly and full of spirit. He took the time to greet everybody onboard before he started the tour, which I think was very nice. The 2 hour tour was very informative and really entertaining. Eric did a good job keeping us entertained the entire trip. We toured around the city and across the Golden Gate Bridge . The weather was nice and the view was awesome. We also made one stop to take pictures. The kids and I had a great time. Since we would be passing through Chinatown at the end of the tour, I made a request to get off at Chinatown to do some sightseeing on foot. Eric was kind enough to drop us off on the way back. Overall this trip was a very nice experience for us. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who comes to see the city of San Francisco.

reuyling t., United States, 12-2009

The experience of the Tour was Awesome

Kenny R., United States, 11-2009

This tour was booked from home in advance of the holiday because we had only a couple of days to do all we wanted to in San Francisco so time was critical. When we arrived for the tour we were told that there wasn't one at the time that we had booked for and shown on the voucher, so we had to wait and thereby waste well over an hour waiting for the next tour, very unsatisfactory.

Diane R., United Kingdom, 10-2009

This was an excellent overview of the city of San Francisco, and it was wonderful to be able to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable, and I would recommend a motorized cable car tour to anyone who wants to see more of the city than just the usual sights (Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square).

Cindy A., United States, 10-2009

We highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was excellent!! Can't say enough good things about him. He was so knowledgeable and made everything interesting.

David S., United States, 10-2009

Great way to see a lot of the city! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept it interesting.

Rachel P., United States, 07-2009

excellent, very informative and best way to get around the city without fighting the traffic.

Guia Judy G., United States, 07-2009

Excellent tour. I am a native San Franciscan, and the driver was knowledgeable and accurate in his commentary. He was also friendly and accommodating. Blankets were a nice touch.

Jean O., United States, 07-2009

Tour was a lot of fun, and we got a nice overall view of the city.

Diane C., United States, 07-2009

Great tour! I really take my hat off to Chris, our guide. He was very informative and funny. My husband and I took this tour in the morning. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting for the first time. Not only do you get to check out the staple, the golden gate bridge, there is a lot of history that is discussed. It was an excellent tour and helped us navigate our way through San Francisco.

Martha G., United States, 02-2009

Most tours seem to either cover the Golden Gate loop or the Downtown loop; this covers both.

Paul M., United States, 10-2008

We had a great time. We are from Southern CA and we wanted to see the main parts of San Francisco. It was great. Our 12-yr old loved it, so did my husband! I liked the fact that we went all over the place and even crossed The Golden Gate Bridge. Our tour guide, Chris, was funny and informative. It was a terrific experience and it was SO worth it! We'll probably do it again if we visit SF. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

Edna D., United States, 09-2008

Terrific tour! Driver gave guests ample time at each stop. Excellent value, DEFINITELY worth the price.

Steve S., United States, 09-2008

Very enjoyable cable car ride! Took us all around San Francisco neighborhoods AND across the Golden Gate Bridge! Fun and professional driver! Beautiful sights make for beautiful pictures! Highly recommend!

Linda S., United States, 09-2008

I've actually done this tour twice because I found it to be such a great overview of the city. The tour guides really seem to enjoy their job which makes it more enjoyable for those on the tour.

Melissa T., United States, 08-2008

Great Tour

Gloria F., United States, 08-2008

Chris, the driver/guide was terrific...informative,funny and a blast to watch drive. He avoided the Marin end of the Golden Gate Bridge and took us up the Alexander street overlook on the headlands. This is the first time I have done that. I have taken visitors on the Greyline bus tour...it was okay, but this tour was by far much more fun and I learned different things than the other bus tours. On the other hand, the weather was as perfect a day as you will ever have in San Francisco..if it had been foggy or cooler??? But then being inside a bus or outside probably wouldn't matter.

Douglas H., United States, 07-2008

The tour guide (Chris) was a blast. He provided commentary,history,humor and drove like a New York cabbie...aggressively but with a calculated risk. He avoided the Marin end of the Golden Gate Bridge on the tour, instead turning onto Alexander Street then up the headlands road where we had a gorgeous few minutes overlooking the bridge and the city. The weather was as perfect as any day I have ever spent in S.F. I will have friends from Spain visiting in a month...we will return for this tour and the China Town Walking Tour with Linda Lee.

Douglas H., United States, 07-2008

Thiswas a great tour that everyone should take on their first day in San Fran. It gives an excellent route that you can go back and do on your own. Our tour guide was extremely personable, even offering to take my husband and I 's picture. It was very cold though even with the blankets offered. The wind was very strong. Need to mention on your website so everyone can dress warm.

Darlene M., United States, 07-2008

Was very good.

Aravind M., United States, 07-2008

Our tour guide was very friendly and informative.

Theresa G., United States, 07-2008

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was quite knowledgeable about the tour sites we visited. I would definitely take the tour again and recommend it to others.

Janet D., United States, 07-2008

The tour gave a nice overview of the city, without having to drive it yourself. Most of what the tour guide said was not loud enough to hear over the speaker system when we were driving. The blankets were much appreciated. It was a nice tour.

Monica N., United States, 07-2008

The San Francisco motorized trolley tour is an excellent way to be introduced to San Francisco...don't miss it.

Alan D., United States, 06-2008

great overview of the city and where things are.

Bill M., United States, 06-2008

Fun, and entertaining tour guide...Great way to see the sights of San Francisco.

Kelley H., United States, 05-2008

good tour but a bumpy ride, drove a little too fast

Jenny S., United States, 05-2008

This tour showed a decent portion of SF and was presented with a fantastic sense of respectable humor by the driver/guide! He was very knowledgeable and was respectful but so much fun! We were 2 adult females with a bus of church school girls with a few of their parents and the guide (Mr. Christopher as the girls called him) made it exciting for them and us! We were a little afraid to drive in SF after realizing it had so many hilly streets (we come from flat land!) but were much more confident to drive ourselves after the trip through the hills and over the Golden Gate Bridge on the neat cable car bus. We learned our way around the Fisherman's Wharf and immediate areas because of this tour. It was great for our first day so we could feel confident in navigating through the city on our own. It was much fun and my cousin, who was with me, has been on many motorcoach and similar tours and said this was by far the best tour ever because of the guide. I agree! He was fun but very safe and informative! Great time! Highly recommended!

Becky D., United States, 05-2008

It was an excellent tour and the driver was fantastic and very knowledgeable when we asked him question. The only problem we had was finding the pick up point as it would have been better to advise that it was a little bit up the street rather than at the junction. The booth staff were great too so an enjoyable tour.

Justine M., United Kingdom, 09-2007

The city tour was the perfect length. Any longer would be too much. We also appreciated the blankets available on the open cable car. The weather was icy cold, and although we were used to cold at home, the wind made it miserable. So the blankets were the extra touch

dorris j., United States, 08-2007

Our tour guide was very polite and accommodating and informative. Truly enjoyed the tour. More than I thought I would. Kids liked it too.

Elsy J., United States, 08-2007

Mark E., United States, 06-2007

I would definitely do it again. Will recommended to others.

Frank R., United States, 05-2007

The motorized cable car tour provided a great introduction to San Francisco; we went on this tour on the day of our arrival. We arrived early to the departure area and were accommodated on an earlier excursion. Our tour guide (Aaron) was excellent, & showed us great sights during the 2-hr. trip.

Jan S., Canada, 05-2007

This trip was excellent i would do it again if i go back.

JUNE H., United Kingdom, 04-2007

wonderful time in the old city.

Brenda S., United States, 03-2007

WE had a great time! We did get a little cold but that was the weather , not the tour company
