“Most fun tour in San Francisco”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2012

We had a fantastic time on the Fire Engine tour over the Golden Gate Bridge. What a memorable way to cross the bridge. Alexandra was very personable and fun and what a great voice. Singing and ringing the bell and tooting the horn all added to the fun. Was great to be waving to all the passers by - you... More

“Windy but fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2012

Had a great 90 minutes on this tour. A bit too windy for our 2 year old but our five year old loved it, as did we. A unique way to cross the bridge and Alexandra was a great guide; enthusiastic and keen to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. More

You will enjoy this tour even if you are a teenager (they are the hardest to please). This is a historical tour that everyone should see. More

“The Best tour of San Francisco”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012

This is a GREAT tour for any age. It is the ONLY tour if you are taking children. In addition to seeing all the sites you would see on any other tour, this is the only one that lets you ride in a vintage 1955 Mack Fire Truck. And you get to dress like a fireman during the tour. More

The person driving and the person describing things were very good. However, the tour was expensive for what you get. The attire they give you to wear seemed VERY OLD! I was hesitant to put it on since it didn't look like it had been cleaned recently. Open air tour that can be very chilly even on a 60+ degree... More

My wife and I did this tour as I spent some time as a fire fighter in Australia and thought this would be a fun way to see the Golden Gate Bridge...we were not disappointed at all!!! The tour was great and informative. We were provided with Fire fighter turnout coats to keep warm and get into the spirit of... More

“We had a ball!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2011

We had a ball on this tour. Our tour guide really set the atmosphere on the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the sights but also a lot of fun. It was incredible riding across the Golden Gate Bridge in an open air fire engine. I'd recommend this tour for all ages! More

Recently we went on The S.F Fire Engine tour, 4 teenagers said that they loved it !! . It was a beautiful day in SanFrancisco and an incredible way to see the city, and Sausalito. The entertainment was excellent and the facts were really interesting even to those who were native San Franciscans. It was well worth it to see... More

While we were in SF we wanted to see and go across the Golden Gate bridge and this was a brilliant way of doing it. Please note that the fire engine is open top so if it's raining heavily the tour will not go ahead and if it rains while you're on the tour then you will get wet. So... More
