We contacted Painted Ladies for a private tour with just one day’s advance notice and they were terrific at accommodating our needs. This is the second private tour for us (first was in 2017).
Our tour was fantastic. Our guide, Samantha, was so engaging and bright. She made our trip so much fun. We highly recommend Painted Ladies for anyone interested in a very special and personal tour of San Francisco.
A private tour is pricey but worth the money. She took us to only places we wanted to see and skipped some of the really touristy spots.

I looked into a couple different tour companies, and I am so happy I went with Painted Ladies. We have four kids (ages 9,11,13,and 15,) so we booked a half-day private tour. We all had a great time, and I am so glad we went with Painted Ladies. I mean, driving around in that vehicle? What is not to love about it! We felt like celebrities. People were waving at us all the time. It was fun! Glen was a great tour guide, and we had an amazing morning with him exploring San Francisco. You could tell he loved his job, and he told great stories, and had fun trivia for us too. He offered us great advice for the rest of our trip too. All our kids enjoyed it! My eleven-year-old son said he couldn’t believe the tour was over all ready. The three hours went by so fast for all of us! It was a great tour!

We had a great time. We decided to take 4 people on a 3-hour private tour. Josh was our driver, and he was great! I would recommend this to anyone. He took us all over the city. He knew every street and when traffic blocked us, he easily worked around another way. He was amazing, knew all about the city and its history and made the whole thing fun and easy for us to see the city.

Had only a small window to see the city and this 2-hour tour was a great opportunity to get a feel for the city. We drove through a bunch of different neighborhoods, drove down Lombard St, and made three stops including one at the Presidio. The VW bus was surprisingly comfortable. My husband and I sat in the back seat too. Way roomier than expected. Our tour guide James was very informative, even though he was fairly new. This is my 2nd time on the tour. As the bus only fits 6 guests, it felt more like a personal tour and way better than being on a bus with 40 people.

Cousin Al was just a fabulous tour guide. He listened to what we wanted to do and made sure we got that in and then along the way he added neat little stops. He played music to go along with our likes ( like Jimi Hendrix as we passed Jimis house) He knew a great place to stop for a bathroom break. He was knowledgeable and funny and I couldn't think of anyone better to have tour us around. This tour really was the highlight of our visit. We loved Rosie - our red VW- who got lots of fun waves from people on the street. She had charging spot for our phones which was a bonus.

Alan was a wonderful guide. Due to the pandemic we were the only 2 on the bus, so we got the grand tour! Saw everything and more any tourist would want to see! Alan was very informative on things SF! We were in town only because my mothers bucket list, a train ride. Figured we were this close to SF you should see something, so really the Painted Ladies tour was our only plan here, and so worth it. Great memory for my mother and I. Thank you again Alan for a great day. Would recommend Painted Ladies tour to anyone coming to SF.

Excellent tour of the city! Our guide was knowledgeable and upbeat. This tour made it possible for us to see a few famous sites during our short visit. Our guide even had a timed music soundtrack to go with some of our stops. I appreciated that wonderful attention to detail.

Our small group did a private tour of San Francisco with Armondo - the best tour guide ever. We had an amazing tour of San Francisco and not only saw beautiful sites, had a great time but we learned a lot. Thank you Armondo for making the tour personalized and special. Long live 1985!

We’ve done both the hop on hop off tour and the painted ladies tour. The painted ladies tour is definitely worth the money. This tour was awesome! We got to see spots that the large tour buses can’t get to. We got the best history of the city and enjoyed a sweet picnic. It was a tour catered to us. I highly recommend this tour

I booked this back in December as a Christmas gift to my little family. Booking was easy and their advertising is 100% correct. I did the private tour as we own a business and when we are away we like to do things as a family alone. So thankful we had Chris has our tour guide. He and Buttercup too great care of us. We learned and saw so much. I can’t recommend this company enough.

Hi there. We are a family of three (2 adults , 1 six year old. We are in SF for one day. Our plane gets in 8.30 am , leaves the same day at 7pm. Can we feasibly fit in your city tour and Alcatraz ? Second, what would be the cost for the three of us?

Hi. I was trying to inquire about the cost for my family of 6 adults for this tour for January 19,2019. The site tells me only one person is allowed. Must be a glitch or my mistake. Please tell me if there is availability for a half day city tour and what you recommend. It is for my birthday celebration and I have never been to SF. Thanks!
