Our SF in a Day tour will take you places that no other San Francisco tour does, traversing the city by cable-car, rail & bus to visit enchanted gardens, secret stairs & glorious rooftop vistas, creating an unforgettable experience. You’ll avoid crowds at the tourist hot-spots, while experiencing the culture of SF & learning its history. We’ll start your tour near the Embarcadero & take the cable-car up to Nob Hill. From there we go to City Hall (or Cable Car Museum) &, after going inside, we can grab a coffee in Hayes Valley. After that we head to the Castro, then walk through Dolores Park. We finish the morning part of the tour in the Haight, it's a great place to get some lunch. After that we take you to see an icon of San Francisco, the Painted Ladies. That's followed by a walk down another SF icon, Lombard Street. We finish the tour with a walk through North Beach & Chinatown. By then you’ll have had a fantastic experience of SF & made some beautiful memories to take home.

I had an incredible experience on this San Francisco tour with Jamie as our guide. Jamie did a fantastic job—he was friendly, open, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating stories and insightful information about each part of the city, even showing us old photos to give us a glimpse into San Francisco’s history. I left the tour with a deeper respect and interest in the city. What stood out was how thoughtfully the tour was planned, with convenient stops and breaks to use the restroom if needed. The transitions between locations were seamless, allowing us to explore both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Jamie pointed out stunning viewpoints and unique homes that most people might easily overlook. I appreciated the relaxed pace, with plenty of time for photos, and he even took photos of us and sent them later. Jamie truly went the extra mile—not only did he spend additional time with us, but he also gave excellent recommendations for dinner afterward. This was easily one of the best trips I’ve had this year, and I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to booking another one with Jamie in the future!

My fiancée and myself were the only two on the tour. Made it more personal. The tour guide Jamie was personable and knowledgeable. Riding in a WAYMO driverless vehicle.

We signed up for a full day of SF sightseeing and that is exactly what we received. Cable car, bus, underground, and lots of walking. If you can’t keep up don’t sign up! It was worth the effort. Thank you Jamie for a long and informative day.
