The 10 Best Private Tours in San Francisco, California (CA)

August 30, 2021 Rebbecca Marino

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

Went on the golden tour flight for an anniversary, it was truly an amazing experience. The pilot, Carlos, was very welcoming and accommodating from beginning to end. The airplane was small but still comfortable, and the pilot pointed out landmarks as we flew over them. The take off and landing were very smooth, and during the flight the engine noise was minimal--the opposite of what I expected with a small plane! . Great customer service.

You're in a special city. Why take an ordinary tour? This is the ONLY convertible MINI Cooper tour in the country! This tour is totally customizable – you choose the length of the tour, what time you want to be picked up, and what you want to see. I love San Francisco and have spent 20 years studying and exploring the city. I’ll work with you to plan your tour so you can see the famous sites and the hidden gems other tours can't go to or don't know about. I’ve designed this to be the type of tour I would take if I visited San Francisco, but where you go is up to you. I make suggestions along the way, but how long you spend at any site is up to you. You're never rushed, and never have to wait for other people. It's all about you! Plus, it's fun! In the convertible MINI Cooper, you see everything up close and personal as we drive along. I love showing guests San Francisco, and talking about the history and culture of this unique and special city.

Inclusions: What sites are included are customized depending on length of tour and what you would like to see., A unique experience, because it's the only convertible MINI Cooper tour in the country.

Exclusions: No food or drink is included. You can bring beverages, and snack food such as energy bars or nuts. Nothing drippy, sloppy, or messy. Please enjoy them outside the MINI., If you want to cross the Golden Gate Bridge, there will be an extra charge for the tolls., Gratuities

Reed opened up our eyes and mind to the history and sites of San Fransico, unlike any other visit to the city. Our tour was perfectly personalized, and we were made to feel like a family member getting the insider tour of the city. I recommend a minimum of 3hrs.
