All our friends that have been to SD told us to just hit the hot spots, and we decided to check a lot of boxes by booking a tour. Just hours after arriving in SF, we hopped on the bus with JP and saw a lot, learned a lot, and had a lot of fun. There is no way we... More

I love coming up to The City. With family visiting, it was a great excuse to take a tour and see things that aren't on the beaten path while getting more information and fun facts. Our tour and guide were awesome and I highly recomment City By The Bay Tours.

We took this tour just as we got into town and what a great decision. We learned of so many places that we rented a bike and traveled back to most. The lady answering to phone was pleasant and vehicle was new. Highly Recommend! AAA+++++

First off, if you take this tour, request Patrick. Nothing against the other tour guides, but Patrick is hilarious and I swear, San Francisco should hire him themselves to promote tourism. (P.S. - best of luck in acting, Patrick!) We were picked up at 400 post street which was right down the street from our hotel. I was a little... More

The tour was awesome. Our guide, Jean Pierre, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun. Take this tour on the first or second day of your vacation. We saw the entire city in just a few hours.

We met the bus at 1:50 P.M. @ Post Street location. Departed from Post St at 2:20 P.M. following briefing by tour guide. Late departure resulted in an incomplete tour. Important stops of interest missed (a) GG Bridge (b) Marin Headlands (c) Fisherman's Wharf (darkness) and several other points of interest due to darkness. Experienced driver was unaware of "no...

I am sorry you felt this was an incomplete tour. This was New Year's Eve and traffic was terrible. Many roads were closed due to security reasons and our guide did a great job navigating around the unexpected closures. Also unbeknown to you, Our driver was hit by another vehicle at Union Square just before pick up time and he... More

Have walked all over San Fransisco touring your sights by myself, but after taking the 3 hour tour with Patrick--I have learned a lot more about your great city. Patrick is a fantastic tour guide! The tour was fun and informative. Patrick shared a lot of little-known facts, well-known facts, and fun facts about San Fransisco and the surrounding areas.... More
