This was my second tour with Q, the last being about a year ago with my mom and sister. After meeting Q last year for a last minute, customized sunset/night tour, killing time before returning home on a very late flight, I knew that I would be back! This Spring Break I brought my husband, daughter, and her friend, all of whom were first time visitors. Q and I planned our tour by fevered email exchanges over the weeks leading up to it. Not to be outdone by her first well orchestrated experience she delivered in spectacular fashion! The weather was awful. Chilly, grey, raining/pouring off and on all day...but even the wacky weather could not dampen Q's energy! Thankfully we'd opted to hire Q's private driver, Steve, who is a gem also by the way, and was always close by as we'd hop out of the luxury SUV to walk through each district. When the weather was having one of its fits and rain and wind became too much to manage with our umbrellas (which Q expertly advised we keep on hand at all times!) Steve was magically there to offer shelter from the temporary storm. I'm learning that the weather in SF tends to be temporary in general! So don't let rain scare you away! The up side of the bad weather was that we did not have to contend with too many crowds!
Q is a well read native of SF, a deep well of knowledge, enthusiastically and passionately sharing all sorts of stories painting a rich picture of how this magical place evolved to what it is today, and even though it was MY second tour, very little felt repeated. The teenagers in our group were not only interested in learning about the city's rich history but also engaged! I imagine I could take Q's tours EVERY time I return to what is quickly becoming my favorite city and learn a lot of something new!!
Before and after our tour I knew I could message Q for advice on the rest of our trip. There for 5 days we only spent the first on Q's tour, which I recommend because there is no way to see it ALL but what the tour offers is sampling of many burrows giving a real hands on experience allowing us to come back later to the areas we wanted to further explore. As if the tour itself is not overflowing with value, she also helped us procure reservations at a couple of amazing restaurants for our stay, gave an assist in planning a day to Sausalito and Muir Wood forest offering some very important insider tips and an economical, easy solution to gaining transportation for the day.
I could go on for days here....but the short version is that if you are in SF for the first time, or the 10th, do yourself a favor and book a Q Trip!! Its a great way to set off the visit and extract as much as possible from this city that is never lacking in new things to do and explore!

So Q was recommended to us by a colleague who’d thoroughly enjoyed a tour the previous year.
Our road trip started in San Francisco and with only 3 days to enjoy the host of delights ahead we decided to book 2 of the 3 tours available.
The whole process of booking, communication and meeting was very clear from the onset and day one it was only me and my other half on the tour as the other guests had cancelled.
We had the best time, visited loads of cool hotspots we would have otherwise not known about and Q was just super accommodating, super knowledgeable and loads of fun.
The following day we met again, just the 3 of us and as it was just us Q kindly agreed to combine the other 2 trips into 1 so we would get to see everything within reason.
We were knackered afterwards but totally worth it!
I truly can’t recommend AQ trips enough, not only did we get to eat the best eats, see the best sights, learn all there is to know but we made a great friend too.
I blogged daily about my road trip and I had the best local knowledge to share far and wide based on Qs insider info.
I’ve recommended Q to so many friends going forward who are lucky enough to be heading to SF and also to meet Q.

Q was absolutely amazing! The passion for San Francisco shows in each story and Q really cared about us. The van was extra comfy with a full sun roof to give us a great view of up above. In addition, Q gave a custom itinerary and addressed extra history not usually part of the toue. Take a private tour with Q. You will never regret it.

Our first trip to SF. We contacted Q prior to arrival and she helped us set up a tour itinerary. She picked up at our hotel and the tour started! She is so knowledgeable about this city! We stopped for multiple food tastings, which were unreal! We got to see everything on our list! Q took multiple family pictures for us and she emailed the entire package the following day. What a great time!

Q is wonderful. We took the 4 hour walking tour, started at Union Square, went all kind of places. It was just wonderful. Q is outstanding in every way. It was a great time for my wife and I to spend time together, learn about San Francisco, the history, the events, the happening. We had great weather, too.

Enthusiasm, nice spots, both touristy and out of the typical tourist SF tour, a big smile and nice chats : that's what you can expect with A Q Trip ! A nice way to discover SF with a local woman who knows about her city!
