Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of San Francisco and the different areas. The ride was comfortable and our guide was very professional. He is someone I will recommend and hire again next time we visit San Francisco.
Very good guide. Friendly and detailed. Took good care overall. Prompt and very much helpful. Did not miss anything.
Dirceu was a fantastic guide! San Francisco history and sites came to life. Knowledgeable, gracious and flexible. Dirceu tailored the tour for us based on our interests. Would definitely recommend our driver and the tour!
Amazing tour of San Francisco. Dirceu or driver and guide was helpful, professional and friendly. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. I think we saw just about everything. Only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you very much. Can highly recommend.
Ask for a minivan or a car with lots of windows and a moonroof. If you sit in the back, it’s hard to see everything that you’re touring around to see.. Don’t need to do it again.
Dirceu knows the city and its history so well that he drove us to all the neighborhoods without ever backtracking, spoke with relish about the people and places and answered question's accurately. He met us promptly, respected our request to have a lunch break and used the time perfectly. There were 6 of us -- all adults -- and the two rear seats would probably be uncomfortable for those 6ft and over and window views not as spacious as the seats in middle and with driver. This a minor issue for sure. Also, Dirceu pointed out that going early in the day, preferably not on a Sunday, allows for much less traffic and perhaps more opportunities to stop and look around.
The private tour of San Francisco was awesome. Our driver Dirceu was very knowledgeable of the key points and history of the city. We enjoyed the panoramic views from Twin Peaks and that tower in Russian hill. We enjoyed the tour in a Escalade that was comfortable. Dirceu took us to places that I had never had a chance to see before. A great tour if one has not much time and to avoid the crowds like the Hop In bus tour. We felt like VIPs for there was just myself and family on this luxury SUV.
Discount, our guide and driver, was amazing! Fantastic tour and a really nice knowledgeable man. I didn't pick the best day/time to do this tour, but Dirceu made everything go smoothly and he made it a wonderful experience. Car was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend tour. I'm also going to use them for other private car hires in the area, airport etc.

The guide was great and it was a perfect way to learn about the city. We really enjoyed hearing some of the history.
I would highly recommend this tour! Well worth the money! I have been going to San Francisco for years and still learned a lot of what the city has to offer.
Our guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient. The tour was specially arranged for us and was a wonderful experience.
Excellent. Very professional. You get to experience the best of SF, in confort and take photos. So many beautiful places and landmarks. Dirceu was so so great.
Dirceu was absolutely phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about everything in the city and so kind. He is like an old friend. He also lets you stop anywhere you would like for pictures or a little detour. I would recommend this tour and Dirceu 100x over.
This tour was great. Saw all the main attractions in our 3 hour tour. Our driver was knowledgeable of the city. So happy we did the private tour.
Our guide/driver Dirceu is professional, punctual and polite. He is very knowledgeable about the intricates of the city. Within the first hour, the information provided is truly overwhelming. We felt well taken care of during the journey.
The driver was a knowledgeable and professional guide, and his car was very clean and comfortable. He was very flexible and took us to the places we wanted to go as well as places on the itinerary and others that he recommended. Nothing was too much trouble for him as he stopped to allow us to take photos wherever possible. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great opportunity to see so much in minimal time! Our driver packed almost everything into our 3 hours booked.
Highly recommend this tour for a very informative and interesting tour of San Francisco. Our driver, Dirceu, could not have been any better and would highly recommend him!
You see so much more than imagined!! It felt like we saw the whole city! I am so glad we did. Our tour guide was amazing. He had so much history and facts about the city, the people, the architecture, and different film locations as well.
Wonderful tour very informative!!! Dirceu was very professional and an excellent tour guide!!! I highly recommend this tour!!!
If you book this tour, ask for Dirceu! He was professional, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. We saw so much!
A fabulous tour that came with even more adventures than originally listed. Our driver was very conversational and showed us spots we now have plans to come back to and learn more about on foot. Great experience overall, would do again.
Although it rained a lot on this day, it didn't stop us from enjoying the tour. Many thanks to our guide, he told us and showed us the places. We enjoyed it very much. Many thanks and we recommend using this private tour through the streets of San Francisco. Thank you
What a fantastic afternoon! Our guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He accommodated every request and provided wonderful context and history for the places we visited. He was also fun, friendly and a fantastic driver. The van was luxurious and lovely. We could not recommend him more highly.
Incredible tour and awesome sights. Our driver Dircev really knew his San Francisco history accurately.
We were able to see so much of the city. Some we were expecting to see but our guide Dirceu took us to see things we never knew about. It was a very good experience.
Absolutely amazing experience, our guide is super knowledgeable and just overall so nice; he planed the route for us to save time and covered all the main places of interest, the reviews says it all, don’t hesitate to book, absolutely highly recommended! Thank you!
Don’t hesitate on booking. Such an incredibly knowledgeable tour who goes above and beyond any tour we’ve ever been on. Worth every single dollar! Ride was clean, smooth, and tour provided an incredible look into San Fran past and current. Would take the tour again f we had time.
Our driver was very personable and professional. We toured by driving around many of the landmarks, drove down Lombard Street. Around Chinatown, The Embarcadero, Union Square. He knew so much of the history and backstory. The car was very comfortable. He met us on time and made a couple changes in the plan as we requested. A good value and a wonderful experience
Dirceau was very welcoming and knew the city so well. I've been to San Francisco plenty of times and saw and learned so much that I had never before.
Had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide was very professional, knowledgeable and a delight to tour with. Would definitely recommend!
Great stories, great at finding a bathroom when we asked. Loved the Golden Gate Bridge and the Yoda statue
Our driver was amazing, so knowledgeable about San Francisco. He was very kind and our tour exceeded our expectations. Can wait to go back to San Francisco and do another trip with him. Can’t recommend this tour enough! Oh and he knows exactly the best picture spots around town. What a fun afternoon we had.
Great private tour, perfect for families with small kids. Love how it can be be personalized since its a private tour.
Great tour of downtown San Francisco! Direcu was a great driver! He was informative and told us a lot of history about the places we visited. He let us visit without us feeling rushed. Enjoyed this tour a lot. The car is nice and big.
Take this tour! The value is absolutely worth it. We had a group of six, one nine year old and one 73 year old with mobility issues, and they both loved the experience. Our driver was knowledgeable, courteous, and went out of his way to make sure we saw the sights we wanted and that we were able to get out of the vehicle for photos when needed. I will book this again when more visitors come out to SF and ask to see the city.
The trip was very good. Weekends may not be the prime time to do the tour as parking is more difficult. The driver was very knowledgable and very easy to get along with. I STRONGLY recommend you do this tour privately unless you want your tour ruined by these New Jersey types. I speak from more than one experience on that. Driver Dericeu was laid-back and accommodating. I recommend highly the private tour.
Very kind informative patient tour guide. Stopped at different locations allowing plenty of time for pictures and some shopping
Made a great decision on booking this tour with Dirceu! The reviews speak for themselves but you always wonder if your guide will really be as good as the reviews say. The answer is YES. No need to read all of the reviews, Dirceu was welcoming, patient, informative, and an awesome driver in the SF traffic and on those hills. We loved the fact that he was able to take us to places that we would have surely missed on any hop-on hop-off bus tour. Thank you Dirceu!
Wow ,what a wonderful experience with an amazing driver that took the time to explain every important corner of San Francisco ! I cannot recommend this enough if you want to private,detailed experience!! Dirceu you were hands down AMAZING, thank you truly for a magical day !
This was our first trip to San Francisco. Our driver Dirceu was fantastic, he took us all over San Francisco and was very informative. Absolutely the best tour, so glad we chose that tour. So impressed with Dirceu, he was so friendly and so knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see San Francisco and get all the information you need. Loved it.
Excellent tour and perfect for my elderly mother… comfortable, stops when we asked…so knowledgeable.
The tour was fabulous, the most thorough, in-depth experience. A comprehensive tour of not only the highlight attractions, but every neighborhood throughout the city. Dirceu from Umbrella was on time, professional and articulate in his descriptions of sights and sounds of the city, customizing our experience by listening to us, and providing options for pictures to meet our passions and requests.
If you are short on time and want to see a lot of San Francisco this tour is highly recommended. We were driven around in a very comfortable car and made stops to get great pics Our driver Dirceu was very knowledgeable and personable
I am a profesional traveler becouse I have been in about 50 diferent countries but this tour was the best in my life… the Brazilian guy took me more places than I expected and took me a lots of pictures… was worthy to pay this tour just for my self
Great tour! Diceau was very informative and showed us every part of the city! Highly recommend! This tour will not disappoint!
everything, especially the driver DIRCEU. Sorry that's it I generally do not do these surverys but Dirceu was so great..gave us a comprehensive tour.
Dirceu was prompt in picking us up at our hotel, and spent all afternoon taking us to special places and stops we couldn’t have with a bus tour. It was personalized for my family to see exactly what they wanted and allowed ample time to stop the vehicle for photo ops. Dirceu was so knowledgeable and showed us every corner of San Francisco. We’re going to recommend this tour to any friends visiting SF.
