We found Vantigo after asking ChatGPT the best way to see the city. It recommended Vantigo. After looking at the yelp reviews and some YouTube videos, I made the reservation. We can't be happier with our experience. Chad, owner of Vantigo and tour guide, was the friendliest and coolest dude to have guide you around the city. Very knowledgeable, extremely easy to talk to, and more than happy to play photographer. We saw Coit tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, the place that I swear was Naboo in Star Wars, some random local know spot with an amazing view of the city, and drove through pretty much all the neighborhoods while Chad pointed out what he recommended we check out. The tour was about 3 hours long and came with bathroom stops at photo locations. If you are looking for a way to see everything without having to plan it yourself or rent a car during your trip, this is what to do. You won't be disappointed.

It was a great experience for my family as we got to see and learn so much more than we would have with a big tour company(think double decker hop on/off). I truly felt like a local for the morning. Hands down the best tour in SF. Highly recommend for a family or anyone looking for a more intimate tour experience. Definitely worth a repeat on our next SF adventure!

My family of four made a weekend trip to San Francisco and we booked Silver Lion on short notice…read more The pre-trip responsiveness and follow-up by Silver Lion were reassuring, since we had not used them before and other tour guides were fully booked. Our guide, Holger, the company's owner, met us on time with a very nice tour van, at our hotel at Fisherman's Wharf and proceeded to show us several highlights of the city over the next five hours. One thing we liked is that he frequently stopped the tour van and encouraged us to explore on foot for as long as we wanted. The tour was definitely not a "drive-by" experience. Holger is a long-term resident of SF and an experienced tourism professional so he really knows how to treat visitors. He did not blab too much, and was frequently humorous in his comments. As veterans of many private tours around the world, some great, some awful, my entire family gave Holger and Silver Lion a big thumbs up. We recommend Silver Lion and Holger without hesitation if you want a first class private tour of San Francisco.

My family and I came up to San Francisco for a long weekend. We got a four hour tour with Dirk…read more What an amazing service. It was worth every penny! On a private tour like this, you can have your own itinerary and they will take you wherever you want to go. This was mostly the case with us, although Dirk had some other suggestions that made the tour even better. It was amazing how much we saw in four hours! The minivan was nice, clean, and comfortable. I would recommend Silver Lion to anyone, and especially to anyone who is visiting San Francisco for the first time.

I reached out to several different vendors and UCT was by far the most competitive. Stephanie was very responsive and quick, it was very easy to book the shuttles. I didn't have to actually use the shuttles myself but some of my colleagues said they were very nice and that the drivers were very friendly. They showed up on time and arrived at the destinations on time too. I even had to make a few last minute changes (start time and destination) and Stephanie was very willing to accommodate. She made my life a lot easier as this was my first time ever booking shuttles for my company. Would definitely use them again if we need shuttles for another event. Highly recommend!

They were very receptive and responsive to text messages, very prompt and on time or a bit early each step of the way, and our driver Matt was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, and their price was very affordable compared to competitors. For reference, we actually did transport for 11 people from SF to Lake Berryessa in Napa, then back again at the end of the day. I won't list the exact price here, but it was very, very competitive. Normally when an option is much more affordable than the competition, it's because of corners cut somewhere else, but that's not the case here. The vehicle was an almost brand new Mercedes Sprinter Van, and they had bigger options available if we had more than 11 people. Matt also provided snacks and beverages for the ride up, and was very friendly and nice to talk to. I will definitely use them again in the future!

Just another wigged out Wednesday:…read more Commuting makes me happy on SO many levels. For the 3rd time in a month I was getting the "low tire pressure signal" on my MINI. Sheesh. Time to take it to the dealer and figure out the dealio. But first I picked up 3 large, misdelivered boxes at Parnassus, stuffed them into my miniscule mobile and made my way across town to Mission Bay. Finding myself 3 blocks from the dealership, I decided I might as well make the stop. I wasn't expecting to find out I'd been driving around with a nail in my tire for the past month. My extra hump-day bonus? I found out I need 4 new tires--cough, cough. Hey, who doesn't want to drop 1300$ for new tires? Why the hell not? Anyway, my 3 large boxes and I got a lift by shuttle SUV over to Mission Bay. Bob, my driver, was sympathetic, personable, and gentlemanly. He indulged me by parking in the red and helping me get the boxes out of his car and into my building lobby. This seemed above and beyond the call of duty. He did it with a smile, a pleasant attitude and while I wished I had more than 3$ with which to tip him, he was very gracious and professional. I would definitley give them a try for other travel needs and recommend you do the same.
