Andy is the freaking man!!! - Do yourself a favour and BOOK THIS TOUR. Super value for money. Only 4 of us on the tour (comfortable but can fit 6), and took nearly 3 hours. Andy was informative and hilarious. You couldn't ask for a better guide. The tuk tuk is modern and comfortable. Andy provided blankets and heated seating when it was cold. You'll see some of the top sites of SF as well as find some hidden gems. Please do yourself a favour and BOOK.

Perfect! - I took my 3 kids (10, 12 & 16) on this tour this morning. It was so much fun!Andy was our excellent driver!! Andy had great energy and was funny. He even made the sullen 16 year old laugh! It was a great way to cover a lot of ground in a 2-hour period. We did it early in our trip so everybody saw something that interested them that we could go back to and spend more time later. We had the tuk tuk to ourselves so Andy was able to customize the tour a little bit. Make longer stops when we wanted it and saw a few extra things. I would recommend this and Andy to anyone. Seats are heated and there are blankets abound. It was super comfortable even on a cool morning.

Fun tour with so much to see! - I love the smaller tour - you can access places the large buses can't go. Bailey was a great guide and made it all the more enjoyable. I would recommend this tour for a small group of family/friends or even solo traveler. I wish I had time to go back for the beer crawl!

You won’t regret taking this fun tour! - Fantastic tour with great visibility from the unique tuk tuk. Andy shared a lot of history and info about the sights that we’d never known otherwise. Not that we’d even be able to get to all the places on this tour! He knows the area well and kept us laughing too. Totally worth the price. We had 3 people on our tour and it was great. Definitely recommend.
