Fun ride in San Francisco - Chad covered the major attractions and provided information in an informative and entertaining way. I especially enjoyed the music he played that corresponded with the different areas. He gave us a great overview of San Francisco in a short amount of time.

Great small tour - Chad our driver was very knowledgeable about san Francisco and shared this with enthusiasm and charm. Would highly recommend this tour company for anyone to see the sights big tour buses cannot go.

Great Experience - Very fun and informative tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who told me they were going to San Francisco for the first time. Josh was knowledgeable, fun, and overall pleasant to be around. My only criticism is for the overall communication from the business itself. I was recommended this tour because someone who had gone previously had Chad as their guide and made their recommendation based on that experience. I was expecting Chad, even the week before my tour, I got an email from Vantigo telling me I was meeting Chad. I didn’t find out that they did a swap until I showed up and found out that someone else booked a private tour with Chad. As I said, Josh was fantastic and my recommendation for others would be for either guide the fact that I still gave it 5 stars should reflect that. I just feel like the communication should be changed if the guide can change on a whim.

Couldn’t be better! - Okay, so Josh is amazing and brought us to many of the highlights in the city, providing fun facts and information on so many things! The VW Bus made it even more special. One of the best tours I have ever done and a huge part of that was Josh. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the flavours of San Francisco! Do it early so you know where to spend more time 😀

Awesome San Fran tour in vintage VW bus - Chad and Lillie the VW van took us to all the amazing highlights of San Francisco. Chad is a local and has lots of info to tell about the city. He is a very friendly chatty guy who got everyone some time in the front seat. Took cool pictures and acompanied his stories with good music. It was a fun afternoon and we think this was the best way to see San Fran. Book this tour it's awesome! John and Natasja from Holland.

Awesome Tour - excellent experience! - Absolute Recommendation! The tour with “Lilly” the lovingly restored and maintained VW bus through San Francisco was magnificent. Our guide and driver Chad told and explained totally good and entertaining, had the appropriate musical background everywhere and exuded a good mood! If you are in San Francisco think about this tour, you can get to so many corners of the city that you can not reach with the big tour buses! Thank you Chad and Lilly
