Pick your own pace

Whether you like your nights high-energy or low-key, our night tours of San Francisco are 100% personalized to suit your style. Maybe your idea of the best things to do in San Francisco at night is moving between dive bars, craft breweries, and century-old speakeasies, or perhaps you’re content to grab some street food and catch live music in the super-cool Mission district. Your perfect night out could mean clubbing until sunrise, dining at a romantic restaurant, or simply strolling down streets lined with late-night shops – either way, we’ll make this a night for the books.

Spend a night like a local

Anyone with Google and a guidebook can see the famous sights, but the true spirit of a city can only be felt when locals clock out and start socializing. On night tours of San Francisco with us, you’ll get swept up in a tide of happy revelers moving between hotspots in the San Francisco nightlife scene. You could hop around late-night hubs like SoMa, sip a cocktail at a classy lounge in North Beach, or grab a meal from a panoramic lookout point. On our night tours of San Francisco, you won’t need to get caught in a tourist trap – we’ll show you where the locals spend their time.

Eat, drink and be merry

With the world-famous wine regions of Napa and Sonoma just a short drive away, it’s no surprise many of the best bars in San Fransisco are wine bars. If Cabernet isn’t your drink of choice, the city has countless craft breweries and cozy cocktail bars perfect for whiling away a few hours on our San Francisco night tours. But you wouldn’t want to drink on an empty stomach, which makes night tours the perfect opportunity to try some SF specialties. The city has a canon of classic dishes dreamt up over a century ago, and your local guide will show you where to find the best of them.

Kathy gave me a fantastic overview of San Francisco. Checked what I was interested in and my preferences. 4 hours flew by, wish I'd booked longer but still covered a lot. China Town, had fantastic food, onto North Beach. Kathy has excellent knowledge of the historic of this amazing City, plus extensive knowledge of hidden gems. Loved every minute

Maria, from City Unscripted, was a fantastic guide and showed us all around the Mission area of San Francisco. She was very warm, friendly and outgoing and passionate about showing us the sights. We only had a short amount of time on our stop over but she helped us cram lots in and shared all her local knowledge. Thanks for an amazing tour Maria!
