After reviewing this site, I selected Mr Toads becaused it seemed like a great way to see the city that would be unique on its own. We were fortunate to ride with Reid about a month ago. He said they were sure how long they would be doing this. I will say the family enjoyed it greatly. Reid gave great... More

have read on here that Mr Toads Tours are closed & looking for a new owner. I do hope they find one as we did a brilliant tour with them in March 2012. We were in San Francisco on our 1st visit for just 2 nights prior to taking a cruise, so this was an ideal way to see the... More

We did Mr toads tours last time we were in town, and enjoyed it. So we were bummed this time when we called to make a reservation, and they told us they were closed! They recommended another tour company, but we decided to do our own research, and ended up on "City by the Bay" tours. This tour was longer,... More

We took the City Tour with Eric in mid-March. His knowledge and charm made the tour a fun experience. We saw most of the city's high points from an open-air 1925 roadster equipped with blankets and heaters. I wouldn't do this tour when it's raining but otherwise go for it. More

This is a wonderful company and a delight to locals as well as travelers from afar. It is family owned and operated. We are all retiring from the business effective the end of March. We are sad to go and would love to have it keep going - so if there is some interest give us a call. We love... More

Just called Mr Toad's to make reservations for April and was told they were shutting down as of March 25, 2012. No wonder I couldn't find anything available for April. Guy on the phone said the owners were tired and retired. Would have been nice to post a notice on the web site but according to this same guy, "that's... More

Thank you for taking time to review our company. We recently received word from our owners that they would like to retire. When you called, we were first getting word of what to tell everyone, so we apologize for any ambiguity. We have since made references on our booking page to the "Pause" and will soon be updating the whole... More

This is the second time with Mr. Toads. Last year when we came in June, we took the 3 hour tour which was great, this year we took the 90 minute tour with Reed as the driver. The tour and Reed were five star quality. Many interesting facts that I did not hear before and the best views of San... More

Back again this year and happily took another Mr. Toad's Tour. The gentlemen driving and giving the tours are SO pleasant and posses a wealth of information about San Francisco's rich history. We would never do a bus tour here when there is a tour that is so much more personal (only 7 riders) and comfortable. Use Mr. Toad--you won't... More

My wife and I enjoyed our tour with our guide Bob. He was a native of San Fran and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city. I had already been to San Fran on previous business trips. This was my wife's first visit. But Bob shared some very amazing facts about the city only a true insider would know. He... More

I can't rave about this tour enough. My husband and i took a couple visiting from N.H. on this tour and it was such fun. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and was a pleasure to get to know. The ride (a 1920's bus) was a lot of fun and very comfortable. You MUST take the postcard highlights tour, you... More
