Tatiana (?) was terrific. We had a great day touring great sights in San Fransisco, which we had not seen on other tours! She gave us time at each stop to investigate and take photos. She was extremely knowledgable about the area taught us a lot about the city and it's incredible history.
I recommend this tour! 0 0

This was one of the best tours I have been. The tour guide had so much knowledge about the history and the architecture of San Francisco and he made my tour so memorable by giving so much information about each and every tourist attraction in SF. I would highly recommend this 1 day tour, especially for those who don't want to miss the major tourist attractions and want to see all the beautiful places in 1 day.
I recommend this tour! 0 0
