Awesome 3 Hour Tour - Great way to pack in lots of SF’s sites, learn about city history, and get entertained by a tour guide with great sense of humor. Oh, and the ride was really cool, too!

San Francisco tour in VW bus - Josh was fantastic! We were looking at a tour to encompass all the best attractions. This included some insider info on food as well as places to avoid while on our tour. This helped us when we decided to venture out on our own little tour. Perfect way to see the city and relax! Not a bad seat in the 1971 VW with its big unobstructed windows.

Choose this tour for a fun overview of San Francisco! - Our guide Josh maneuvered our immaculately restored vintage VW bus (with just six passengers) into snug vantage points to see landmarks and take in the view. The tour had the perfect blend of riding around, and then jumping out to get a closer look (and fab photos). Josh’s commentary was informative and enjoyable. The tour was more than three hours long and time flew by. Book it!

Phenomenal tour - This was a great tour to learn about San Fran and have a lot of fun. Chad did a phenomenal job showing us around the city and explaining all the points of interest in grand detail. He had a lot of energy and riding around in his 1971 vintage VW Bus was so much fun. If you are looking for a personalized experience and having fun along the way, I highly recommend this tour with Chad.

HIGHLY Recommend! - This is a great way to see historic sites as well as charming neighborhoods. The VW Bus was such a delight to ride in, and our driver and guide Josh was excellent. He knew so much about many things, and he set the tone for the six passengers to have fun and visit. We had chances to get out of the bus at scenic spots, and we still covered a lot of ground in our nearly 4-hour ride.

Great overview of the city. - Like other reviews, I would recommend this on your first day in the city. This tour provides an overview of the many things the city has to offer. Then you can focus on the areas you want to spend more time at. Our driver was knowledgeable and entertaining.

Amazing tour seeing all the SF sites - This was an amazing tour! Chad was so friendly and a real SF local. We saw every site in SF from multiple view points. We had the best time and could not recommend Vantigo enough!
