A great way to see SF! - “Cousin Cyrus”, our guide was amazing. He was also crazy, but in a good way. He was also so entertaining. This tour was a fun, alterative way to get a feel of the city. Being that it’s a VW bus, it can traverse roads and places the big tour busses can’t…. like Lombard St. The van’s theme and driver of course add to the entertainment. FYI, we stopped only a couple times, the guide isn’t going to stop at every point of interest. I idea of the tour is to give us a brief overview of the city. Then later on, where the interest is, we can spend more time at the specific sites we want to see. FTI, the tour mostly covered the city as far east as Chinatown. and as far south as Clement St. Exceptions included a drive through Haight Ashbury and Western Addition. So keep in mind, it did not cover all parts of the city.

Just Keep Truckin On (the Love Bus) - We loved our quirky love bus experience and would highly recommend it. Christina, our guide, was fab and made us laugh a lot whilst driving us around San Francisco. The experience felt very personal which is great as my husband and I are tourists who hate being tourists! We met some interesting people on the bus (there were 7 of us in total) and ended up having dinner with 3 of them which was an interesting little snapshot into other peoples' lives. We would definitely recommend you hop on the love bus (man).

Great tour with Dave! We... - Great tour with Dave! We booked it for our first full day in the city and it gave us a good starting point for activities that we want to do. Overview and history of the city and neighborhoods. Dave made it lots of fun!

Gets all the basics... - Gets all the basics knocked out! You are close and personal to all the SF “things to see” in a fun and efficient atmosphere.

Nice tour of SF in a cool van - Fun tour & great riding in a 70’s love van the whole way. Our guide Cyrus is very knowledgeable about SF. He did speak a little too fast, & it was sometimes hard to absorb everything that he was saying, especially for my travel partner who’s Ukrainian. The tour was a good intro to SF.

Not the best product for my money - Not what I expected. Tour seems to be designed only for people fluent in English. The guide speaks too fast. I asked about homelessness in the city just to get insight but she took it personal and was a bit rude towards me. I wouldn't do this tour again

No one came to pick them up! - I booked this for my wife and her sister. They were to be picked up at 11am. They were at the pickup point early. No one came to get them. They waited till noon. Had to leave as they had Alcatraz tour booked in the afternoon. Very disappointed as they were much looking forward to this. Other people were waiting also. How can they run a business like this? Terrible

Love Tour - did not show up - Be aware. We waited over an hour after the pickup time. They didn’t turn up and we had another tour scheduled so had to leave. No message to say why they did not show up Very unprofessional
