How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Throw on your party pants (this part is optional) and join one of our local San Francisco hosts for a night out in the city to remember (this part is guaranteed).
We all have different ways of enjoying a night out, so just let us know your vibe and your host will do their best to make sure your time together is as perfect a fit as those party pants we mentioned earlier are.
You could bar hop around spots like SoMa, the hottest nocturnal neighborhood in the city or LGBTQ-friendly, Castro, start your night with classy cocktails in North Beach (you city slicker, you) or enjoy a sundowner beer from a panoramic city look-out point.
The point is, you’ll dance to the beat of your own experience and discover a nocturnal SF you’ll love, whether it’s in dive bars, rooftop bars, micro-breweries, or food truck night markets.
Your host will leave you to groove the night away, but not before they’ve sent you in the right direction and given you plenty of recommendations of where to continue your night.

Wonderful day walking around the city with John who knew the city and its history. We loved seeing the city from his perspective all the alleys and historic spots. Best possible way to get to know the city.

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!

My girlfriend and I really loved our nightlife experience with our Local Host Joanne. She was really good and knew all of the local bars and the best cocktails to try. She also helped us and gave use some really helpful tips on how to enjoy the rest of our honeymoon, recommending a couple of really nice local restaurants to try that suited our needs. Really good! 10/10
