Join a guided tour of San Francisco onboard a restored vintage Volkswagen bus in a small group setting. Listen as the bus’s engine purrs gently, and feel the wind in your hair as you wind your way up and down the city’s famous hilly streets.

Get to know your fellow passengers and share in the excitement of exploring the city’s hidden gems in an intimate group. Let your guide take you off the beaten path and reveal the unique side of San Francisco, with access to parts of the city that larger buses can’t reach.

Smell the crisp scent of the bay breeze as you take in the iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. See the pastel colors of the iconic Painted Ladies stand out against the sky, and the intricate murals adorning the streets of the city burst with vibrant hues.

Other stops include the Palace of Fine Arts and the Famous Painted Ladies Houses from Full House! Plus drive down Lombard Street, see the Mrs Doubtfire House AND the Princess Diaries House!!
