Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "
"Michael was extremely helpful and knowledgeable taking me through the city. One of the best parts was walking through China town and diving into its rich history! I will definitely be back!"
"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. "
"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 was amazing. We enjoyed our walking tour through the financial district, china town, and ended the tour at Coit Tower. It was our first trip as a family, and it was a wonderful way to kickstart our long weekend in San Francisco. Michael was very knowledgeable about the city, and we learned a lot. He also gave us great suggestions for restaurants. Our son is still talking about \"Tony's Pizza.\" Thank you, Michael, for an amazing tour!"
"We had a great tour with Michael. He told en showed us a lot of the city. Things I never saw before. Thanks , dank je wel"
"It was a great experience! Highly recommended!!"
"Nous avons découvert une autre facette de San Francisco grâce à cette visite. Nous ne soupçonnions pas l'existence d'un aussi beau et grand parc dans la ville et d'une telle énergie et d'une telle vitalité. En plus, Michael nous a fait découvrir le quartier hippie, son architecture, ses anecdotes sur les grandes figures de la musique. Cerise sur le gâteau, retour à notre hôtel en Waymo, une expérience à vivre ! Le tout en bonne compagnie."
"Michael nous a fait partager son amour de la ville et nous avons fait un bon investissement. Il nous a non seulement fait découvrir le centre et ses immeubles en partant du front de mer mais aussi les quartiers chinois et italien. Il s'est adapté à nos demandes et est très flexible. Il est également sensible aux détails. Nous avons vu des aspects que nous n'aurions pas découverts seuls. En plus, il est amical, attachant et attentionné. Merci Michael. Nous adorons SF !"
"Had an excellent private tour of San Francisco with Michael. He was knowledgeable, professional, and adapted the itinerary perfectly to my interests. Beyond the main landmarks, he provided valuable insights into the city’s history, neighborhoods, culture, and current developments. The pace was ideal, and his local knowledge made the experience much more interesting than a standard sightseeing tour. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a personalized and insightful introduction to San Francisco."
