No Better Tour Of Cinematic Glories Can Be Had; PURRFECT Tour !!! - The bond between VIATOR and us has been forged...ever stronger...with each successive experience. THIS tour (San Francisco and its movie connections) was easily a five-star experience. Our host, WYLIE, FAR exceeded every expectation with his encyclopedic knowledge and perfect delivery. Without exaggeration, my personal knowledge of San Francisco's movie history was thought to be superior, but Wylie bested it with every sentence. Anyone desirous of having a memorable, wondrous tour of The City...is encouraged to sign up, and get onboard. If I were to be awarded $1,000 for each and every suggestion as to how this tour could have been better..., I would leave without so much as collecting a cent. From "Ant Man" back to Clark Gable's "San Francisco" of 1936, Wylie covered literally dozens...no-hundreds...of films. Clint Eastwood's performances are forever enshrined at the sights where we stopped... as overhead projection showed the actual scenes filmed there. Same can be said for many, many, many cult classics and "Star Trek" and "Planet of the Apes", "Indiana Jones" and Star War cinematic winners. This outstanding tour left all on board completely enthralled...without any possibility of improvement. Whether you're a local (as in our case) or Australian or Irish (also in attendance) you're assured that no one could have done better...no one. A final 'shout out' to Wylie's brilliant mother...visiting from the Pacific Northwest: you did yourself and all who met you and your son... blessed for the privilege of having done so. Would we ever take this tour again or send friends, neighbors, relatives or strangers who are visiting ? Unabashedly YES !!! Thank you Wylie for giving it your best personal effort; you succeeded beyond all imaginings !...and we were / are the better for it.

A great fun way to see the city! - This is a great way to see the city, get your bearings and see many clips of movies, and then see where they were filmed. I’m not a massive movie buff, but I knew many of the films & now have a list of more I want to see. Our guide Bryan was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to tailor the experience to suit the group. He takes good photos too! We also saw many iconic sights of San Francisco. Plus he was kind enough to make recommendations to help the rest of our trip go well too. We had pretty rough weather, but despite the rain, it was a great experience. Don’t hesitate! Book it!
