      Jordan Knows NYC

      "Jordan knows his way around NYC. A great tour originated at our lower Manhattan hotel. We saw the stuff we would have never found on our own. Whenever a local can show off their hometown, it always makes for a better experience. Thanks, Jordan!"

      "Michael was a wonderful tour guide! His knowledge of San Fransisco allowed for my wife and I to have a thorough understanding of the city. We would have been lost without his introduction to SF. Lastly, he was very patient, allowing my wife to take as many photos as she wished. "

      Amazing time in San Francisco

      "We had a last-minute trip to San Francisco and wanted to find a guide since my husband was a first timers. Michael was able to accommodate us within 24 hours. We are so appreciative. He was on time and extremely friendly and knowledgeable of this beautiful city. We walked through several areas where he showed us several places we would’ve never found on our own. Michael is a kind, knowledgeable, upbeat guide, and we would definitely recommend him. Thank you for showing us your wonderful city Michael. "

      Beautiful and Interesting Tour

      "I did the Presidio Park to Palace of Fine Arts & the Beach Tour with Agatha and thoroughly enjoyed the variety and beauty of the sights on this tour. The pace of the tour was comfortable and the route was well organized. This was beyond the basic San Francisco tour that took us to areas we would have never come across on our own. Particularly loved the Palace of Fine Arts. Agatha has a lot of great insights and knowledge of San Francisco and was a fantastic guide. She is very kind and personable. "

      Do the tour with Michael !!!!

      "Michael was fantastic!!! He has such a great knowledge of the city that he shared with us in a interesting and informative way. He met us at our hotel took us all over San Francisco from China Town, Little Italy, and Fisherman's Wharf. He made dinner and lunch recommendations to us that were outstanding. The tour he gave us was so good that I would do it again with him as our guide. Michael made my wife and my trip to San Francisco truly outstanding and memorable!"

      Michael had some great restutants picked out for us and the walk thru the Mission district was awesome. From taco’s, beer, mango deserts to cervichi. A true cornucopia of flavors and cultures.
