Communication with this company by text was very good. Quick, helpful responses on two occasions. Our guide was intelligent and informative. Van was cool. No music. I expected it but didn’t miss it. We went on the day before Memorial Day at 1 pm. Tour went 3 hours but website said four hours. Traffic was gridlock. We had to turn around from the usual route to the Golden Gate Bridge having spent at least half an hour at a near standstill. We made two stops but not being able to park prevented desired opportunities to take photos. I felt it was unreasonable to book the holiday (at least the afternoon tour) knowing the passengers experience would be significantly diminished.nrcvino

Everyone who saw us had a smile on their face for our pretty little VW bus painted with famous faces from the SF era of peace & love. So many people wanted a quick pic with Mary! Johnnie was a great guide and embodied the spirit of chill and friendly with other drivers, people walking by and was very knowledgeable and fun.Shanda_B

My family and I had an awesome time zipping up, down, and all around San Francisco with our guide Kai and his fur baby, Kona. We were able to see so much and learn many unknown facts about the monuments, buildings, neighborhoods, etc. I would highly recommend this tour!

This was the second time for us to do The Love Tour of San Francisco, though this time, as an extended family group of 6, we booked a 4 hour private tour. Ky made sure that we thoroughly enjoyed it, bringing us across to the Golden Gate view point as well as Twin Peaks Summit for photos, as well as providing us with entertaining and informative stories as we drove up and down the smaller streets and areas of the city. Some of the many highlights of the tour were a stop at the Lucas Studios in the Presidio, a drive down Lombard Street, the drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and the house with Harry Potter themed doors. The tour covered some different areas this time around, which was great for the three of us that had done it the first time. We have recommended this tour to some family and friends since our first visit in 2018, and they all came back to us delighted that we had.12sandia

All of us enjoyed the SF Private Love Tour on the VW hippy bus. Our tour guide, Cyrus was excellent. It was fun way to tour the city. You get to see more than you would in the bus busses.
