San Fran City Tour - We had a great tour with Pep and highly recommend her San Fran city tour. We were able to see everything we wanted and learned so much about the amazing city. She really made our trip special. The weather was not great, so having a car to get around to the differing sites was a plus. We usually do walking tours but SF has too much space to cover. We would highly recommend Pep to show you the city. Thanks Pep!

Perfect Tour for Family of 4 - Pep was a wonderful guide!! She was patient with us running late, then took extra time at the end so we didn't miss any of our must-see places. She had a list to pick from and provided a lot of helpful information on the area and sites. I'd highly recommend the Private City Tour.

Highly recommend.

Private San Francisco Tour - We came to San Francisco to visit family and decided to go for a tour with Alegro. Our group consisted of 6 people, including children. We had such a lovely time. We live in Florida, so it was definitely a bit chilly for us, but we had a great hike and my children were amazed by the size of the sequoias. Pep is very knowledgeable and gave us a very comprehensive history lesson about the city. My children were too young to be bothered with this, so Pep was kind enough to take us to a playground where the kids could be free while we (the adults) continued to learn from her. I think this was very thoughtful of her and I appreciate that special touch. I also have to appreciate the fact that she gave us all completely water bottles. Great job Pep! Keep it up. Overall the tour was really great. I could write so much more! We will definitely be in touch when we come back to California! Thank you Alegro Tours!

A DiSASTER - Utter disaster and a disgrace. Do not use. Disastrous organisation Guide changed 3 times the night before and the guy who showed up was delightful but just a taxi driver with poor English and knew ZERO about SF. We immediately complained and then had to meet the original woman who was rather reticent about information and we’d read most of what we were told on Wikipedia. No cultural or historical knowledge. She offered a refund which I wanted half of as we did see Golden Gate but that did not make up for the waste of time and frankly I was worried she wasn’t well. Trip Advisor should not be offering this.
