An Oscar performance - Brilliant tour of San Francisco with Barry, who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of movies. The tour was very informative, well illustrated with the clips of the movies shot at each location.
I would 100% recommend this tour even if you are not a movie fan

This was my second time to host a group tour! - Our guide, Bryan (the owner) is a PRO ! He loves what he does and describes everything right on cue with infinite knowledge, humor and great stories.
You watch the video screen with all the movie clips as he drives you past the exact places. It feels like you are cruising around with an old friend that makes everyone comfortable and ready for fun!
After a super fun experience (a while back) hosting a group of Seniors with Bryan as our guide, I knew my own circle of friends would love to do this as well! Bryan worked with me to customize our outing - he came to my home in Livermore to pick us up, and drove us back at the end of the day. We even arranged for some extra time in the City to stop for drinks too!
Of course I would recommend SF Movie Tours to everyone I know, including family members that actually live in the City.
5 stars PLUS !!!

Watching San Francisco movies in San Francisco and driving through where the scenes are. It’s like you’re in the movie. - Bryan was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly and good conversationalist. Knew all about the San Francisco movies we saw on our tour and even threw in extra fun facts. It was such a cool experience and he let us get out at multiple spots to take photos.

Lots of Fun - This tour was fantastic. We saw so many sites where the movies were filmed. Bryan Rice narrated the tour with so much knowledge that it made the tour that much more enjoyable.

I wasn’t sure about this... - I wasn’t sure about this tour but my husband is a keen film buff. I have to say that’s even as a non film buff this tour was brilliant - we got to see so much of San Francisco and Wylie the driver was incredibly informative and really amusing. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone.

This tour was awesome! - This was a fantastic tour! It was fun, entertaining, informative, interesting and our tour guide was fantastic. We were so impressed with the ability of our tour guide being able to tell us so many stories, navigating the clips exactly to the location where we were and still drive with care and safely.

Amazing tour - This tour was really great, from the start our tour guide Bryan was so friendly, funny and informative. We have since visited some of the places we were shown again- we had drinks in Cafe Zoetrope and today stopped off for an Irish Coffee at The Buena Vista. A great tour and would highly recommended

Movie tour in a mini bus - Firstly let me start by saying this was a fun trip and so informative and so very interesting. Definitely worth doing. But, it’s a small mini van/bus. Plenty of room and you can bring a drink on board etc. so it’s friendly, but as I say, there’s a but…our tour guide Wiley, who was fabulous and very knowledgable would frequently say “if you look up ahead, or if you look to the front right side” etc. problem was we gave up our middle row seats for a couple to sit in due to their size , which meant me and my hubby sat on the back row. Apart from outside our windows we couldn’t see anything up the front or to the front sides. When the guide turned the corner it was too late for us to see what the others had already seen. So in that aspect it was so disappointing. And it really started to annoy us as the morning went on.
There were some great stops and chance for some fab photos . But my advice would be this…. If you get the back row , after an hour it’s time to rotate . Then after another hour , rotate again. The tour guide is in control of the stops so he should say at the start of the tour that you will be rotating seats to give everyone a chance at the front row.
Still enjoyed it, but not my favourite tour .
