Description

Don't miss out on the original VW Bus tour, one of the most popular small-group tours in San Francisco. Head to the meeting point and get picked up by your professional guide in a fully restored 1971 VW bus. Be transported back in time to the city's heyday when protest movements and hippie counterculture took hold.  Enjoy exploring San Francisco's famed neighborhoods, complete with views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Twin Peaks, Coit Tower, and several other storied landmarks. Make stops at 5 spectacular viewpoints to snap photos. Along the way, listen as your guide shares tales of earthquakes that shaped the landscape, industrial shifts from the 1849 Gold Rush to the rise of Silicon Valley, 1960s counterculture, and surprising insights that only a local would know. Get dropped off at the end of the tour at the same meeting location and take advantage of the local tips your guide gives you for lunch or happy hour spots.
