San Fran with friends - I have been to San Francisco twice before. We got to go to so many places that I would have never seen on my own. Brian is very knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend this to anyone going to San Francisco for the first time or the tenth time!

The best tour ever - We did this tour with Brian yesterday and it was absolutely amazing!!! We have been to San Francisco around 7 years ago and wanted to come back as we felt like we had not seen everything. The tour with Brian definitely showed us everything there is in this fabulous city. From start to finish Brian was very knowledgeable, lovely and a fantastic host. We got to see areas that we didn't even know about and the hours flew by. My friend and myself highly enjoyed it and said it was the best tour that we have ever done. If you are going to San Francisco then book it!!! You won't be disappointed.

ULTIMATE FOR A SMALL GROUP TOUR - Skip, was the THE BEST tour guide we have ever had. The vehicle was comfortable, modern, clean and designed so I could get in easy with my cane. I was pleased to have two location with a restroom break. Skip's driving skills and knowledge of the city made our tour outstanding. I highly recommend the Luxury Van Tour, we were able tour locations that the large bus tours could not.
