Great tour with Dave! We... - Great tour with Dave! We booked it for our first full day in the city and it gave us a good starting point for activities that we want to do. Overview and history of the city and neighborhoods. Dave made it lots of fun!

Amazing experience with an amazing tour guide! - What a fabulous experience!! Christina was not only a wealth of knowledge about San Francisco, but she was an absolute joy to spend time with!! She knew so much about San Fransisco, including the history, various areas and parks etc., and best restaurants in each area! I'd love to come back to San Francisco again, and hire her for the entire day!

Need to Experience - Tara is better than great! She made it feel like you were being given a tour of the city by your close friend who just happens to know all the best trivia and spots. Love her passion for people and the city. I've visited this city 5 times, but experiencing it with this guide is just such a necessity - I've missed out on so many things this whole time!

Not the best product for my money - Not what I expected. Tour seems to be designed only for people fluent in English. The guide speaks too fast. I asked about homelessness in the city just to get insight but she took it personal and was a bit rude towards me. I wouldn't do this tour again

Disappointing. And dangerous. - To be honest, the tour did not meet expectations. It didn’t start well. The driver showed up after the scheduled start time. The other two groups had already left by then. On the tour, there was little storytelling or deep insights. She pointed out major landmarks. But not anything more than an average local would know — or even a visitor who read a map beforehand. “This is the Castro district”. “This is was Jimi Hendrix house.” And she got the names of some things wrong; despite another passengers attempts to correct her. We considered just leaving the tour along the way. Perhaps most concerning was that we all nearly seriously injured in the end. When she parked on the hill to conclude the tour, the guide got out to go around and open the door. Te van was not properly in park and started rolling backwards down the hill with no driver. I jumped up from the second row to slam on the brakes and avert disaster. You have no idea how close we were to crashing or hitting a pedestrian in that busy intersection. I had high expectations given the company’s reviews online. Left very dissatisfied.

Worst experience ever. - They cancelled my tour and still havent given me a refund. I was called the day of my tour by the admin, telling me not to show up because it was cancelled on the time I selected but they still charged me 170.00. They said I would get a refund but still havent received one. I tried calling them and no one has called me back. This was my first time visiting San Fran and I was looking forward to the SF Love tour. But they made my experience awful. Why have that date and time available for people to book and then 2hours before the tour called me just to say they messed up and there is no tour. Would not recommend this love tour. And i want my refund asap. They took my money and cancelled the tour. Why is no one reaching out to me??
