Be happy; meet Dave on a SF love tour! - This was the most fantastic tour ever! You have to do this tour! You visit the spots of San Francisco you would not see on another trip.
Dave is the best guy ever. He has thousands of stories about SF and with that he takes you on a mystery ride.
Allan, thank you for the best day of my visit in SF by giving us Dave as our tourguide. Even twice that day.
We will never forget this experience!

Groovy times in San Fran! - Wow. This tour so exceeded our expectations. Cyrus obviously loves his city and has such a passion and interest in sharing his wealth of knowledge. He gave us information regarding art to architecture, culture to food, tides to multiculturalism. So thorough, so professional and entirely entertaining. I wish we had the ENTIRE day with him. This tour has made all 4 of us plan our return trips to San Fran and has instilled in us a new love of San Francisco. Call us Cyrus, if you and your wife are coming to Canada!

Book the trip but do it a the start of your stay. - This was a great way to sample the city. I wish I had done it on day one, as there were so many things I wanted to do after the trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city of course. I can't wait to come back.

Fantastic - We had a few hours to kill, had never been to San Francisco and this tour worked for us. It was exactly what we were looking for and more. Cyrus gave us non stop commentary, history, recommendations and entertainment. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting for the first time to get a great overview of the city. Even repeat visitors or residents may learn something new.
