AJ was our tour guide and boy did she have alot of trivia. Tour takes you to places where they filmed movies and tv shows and shows scenes in the areas that you are driving at in the bus. Quite fun, lots of breaks, things to see. Not a large group so you can ask questions and get your pics... More

Went on this tour and although it was three hours long, it felt like ONE because the woman who led it, AJ, and the driver, Ray, did such a stupendous job at holding our interest. Our guide had encyclopedic knowledge of movies, actors, the making of movies, directors, history, and it was a blast hearing all the inside information that... More

Even though didn't know every film covered was still interesting. Went to most places the hop on and off buses cover and more but was much more personal. And could get out 2 take pics at The painted ladies, Mrs Doubtfuls house, City Hall and the Golden Gate Bridge. Guides are actors who are in between their next blockbuster. ours... More

This tour was comfortable in a small bus that could negotiate most of the city streets. Our guide kept us entertained with his knowledge of both the locations and the film industry. Our family loves movies but even if you are not that big of a movie fan it is a great way to see the city. Much more personal... More

This was a well done tour. My wife and I enjoyed it and felt it was the best tour we have taken in San Francisco. Due to the size of the bus, we were able to get to locations that the other tour buses are not allowed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the movie locations and facts relating... More

This was a Trip Advisor recommendation and we were glad we did it. A three hour guided tour of many of the most well known settings for movies that were filmed in San Francisco. Our tour guide, working on his acting career, was very informative and shared much little known information about the movies, actors, directors, settings, etc. Very friendly... More

I loved this tour. I went with my Mom who is not a movie person at all and she loved it as well. That means even without the film clips, it stands alone as a great tour of San Francisco. I loved the Painted Ladies stop and the Golden Gate stop. I wish we could have gotten a little closer... More
