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!

I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time in San Francisco half as much without John as my guide to the neighbourhoods of North Beach, Chinatown, and the waterfront! Having lived in the area for so many years, he was well-versed in the history and lore of the area. I felt like I learned so much!
