    The Best VW bud tour of SF
    This is THE way to see San Fransisco. Chad had great stories and awesome music throughout the tour. Plenty of time at each stop to stretch your legs and take in the sights.

    Blast !
    Highly recommend this trip. We had a wonderful time with Chad, who is a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. Obvious Lillie (VW Campervan) adds so much to the fun. If you want to see San Francisco is a day, this is the one to book !

    Take the Vantigo tour - Highly recommended!.!
    On the tour I was on there were two English women, one of whom had done the tour years before and had been so impressed she was back. I understand why, having now done the tour. If I was ever back in SF I would definitely spend the afternoon doing this tour again, The Vantigo tour was a comprehensive and fun afternoon. The time was used effectively with a combination of driving and photo stops at the 'must see' SF highlights. The Combi van could go where the bus buses couldn't, due to restrictions on large tourist capacity vehicles, and Chad had local knowledge to get us to high viewing points to see the city. Chad had great music synced to the area we were visiting or passing, and his commentary and style was pleasant, fun and engaging. Go with Vantigo !! Highly recommend.

    Perfect way to see San Francisco
    We had a wonderful tour of San Francisco and Chad was fantastic. He really knows the city and shared a wealth of information about not only the city of San Francisco but also the region before the city's founding. His van 'Lillie' was in perfect condition and added to the experience of seeing the city. We were able to navigate through many of the small, tight places in the city where larger tour vans wouldn't be able to travel. Finally, special compliments to Chad's ability to not only provide a great narration of the tour but he is also able to expertly drive his 50+ year old manual transmission VW bus through the hills of San Francisco. I can't recommend this tour enough.

    Terrific way to enjoy the beautiful city of San Francisco
    Chad and Lily (Chad’s Volkswagen bus) were a great team providing us with an insiders tour of the beautiful city of San Francisco. As a native Californian myself, I have been to San Francisco many times and was only taking the tour to provide my European guest with an opportunity to see the City. Chad being a local to San Francisco, showed us parts of the City I have never seen before and provided us with so much of the history. You will also have the opportunity to stop and take photos. Chad knows all the perfect spots for the best pictures and is very entertaining while providing stories about the history of all the different sights you are seeing. I highly recommend this 3 hour tour of San Francisco with Chad in a Volkswagen bus not just to tourists who come from other States or countries but to Californians like me. T

    Best tour ever!
    A thoroughly enjoyable experience and a more intimate and personal tour of the sights, best photograph locations and various neighbourhoods of the city that a large open top bus. The star of the tour is the van which everyone photographs while driving around and I would arrange another tour on my next visit. I did take the advice and visit Berners on Haight the following day. Many thanks for making me feel so welcome.

    Fun, great experience- highly recommend!
    Really enjoyed this tour! A fun, safe way to get a great snapshot of the history and main sights you would want to see if you had limited time in San Francisco. Our guide Chad was knowledgeable and great at sharing his love for the city. He also made sure we all got wonderful pictures. Highly recommend- thanks again Chad!

    Great experience!
    We had Chad as our tourguide. He is just the nicest guy!! Already when we arrived he gave us a very heartwarming and nice welcome. Throughout the tour he was always super entertaining and funny. At the same time the tour was very interesting with a lot of new facts and great music. He also showed us a lot of great photospots and took nice photos. Overall just the perfect way to experience San Francisco with a local that clearly knows and truly loves what he’s doing. If you are thinking about doing one of those tours please chose Vantigo tours (with Chad) instead of any other copy cat company!! Overall just amazing.

We met Chad from our cruise ship at Port of San Francisco.

The VW van he picked us up was 50 years of age and so classic. Every place we went we got loving and admiring looks. It was really comfortable inside and Chad was a brilliant host. He offered drinks and snacks to our children when ever they wanted them which was really kind.

The tour was excellent. We really think we couldn't have seen any more of this wonderful city in the time we had.

I couldn't recommend this chap and tour enough. He's a lovely, beautiful human being.

Thanks Chad, until the next time.

We had a great time viewing San Francisco. The tour provides a unique way of seeing the city on a VW. When we passed by people on the streets they pointed and took pictures. Chad made the tour fun for my 9 year old son and kept his interest the entire time. We even had the opportunity to play Vantigo's unique version of Bingo. You will not be sorry if you book the tour.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. We only had a day in San Francisco, and this was a great way to see all the highlights. Chad is an excellent tour guide, fun and engaging, and we learned so much about the city. Our kids (17,20,22yo) loved the tour. The 1971 VW bus, manual transmission going up the San Fran hills, made the tour that much more fun. We saw the whole city and Chad even had some snacks and drinks for us. Very much recommend this tour!!!

Fantastic tour of the city.

Loved the VW van. Chad had great knowledge of the city and seemed to hit the key spots. We were also impressed with his knowledge of the history of the city and surrounding area. Since we went with a private tour, Chad was able to be flexible and hit some specific sights we wanted to see. He seemed to make an extra effort for us to see many of the views despite being a foggy morning. At the end of the tour, he offered to drop us off at a restaurant in China Town where we wanted to eat.

The van was clean and had plenty of room. I was very impressed with Chad’s ability to use a standard transmission in this extremely hilly area.

The tour was well worth the price and we would do it again. It was the highlight of our visit to San Francisco.

In a VW bus - no less! Our group of six will tell you this was a great tour. Eliza, our tour guide and VW bus driver...was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and gave us facts and stories to remember. This was mine and my wife's first trip to San Francisco, (while the others had been there previously), and all of us were pleased with the locations we visited. The time went by very quickly but was well worth it. Thanks Eliza. We highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing 4 hour private tour with Vantigo. Our tour guide Chad was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made the tour tons of fun for our entire group of 7 that ranged in ages from 9 to 75. I couldn’t imagine a better tour of San Francisco than in a classic VW van with a fabulous tour guide. Highly recommend.

This tour was amazing!!! Chad is a history buff and it shows!! He drove us all over San Francisco and was able to give us all kinds of info about the different areas. I would totally do this tour again, but next time I’d do it in the first day. He showed us so many places I didn’t know about. Wish he had a book about all the stops we made and the stories he was able to tell us! I’ll never remember them all. Hope to take my kids down and do the tour with him again!!

Chad was awesome, we had the best morning ever in SF. He provided so much information and it was a pleasure to just take in the city . I could not have asked for a better adventure for my two teenage granddaughters, they talked about it for days afterwards. I highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting SF. Well worth the money!

Everything was perfect! Thanks again to Chad, fantastic guide, professional, kind. We loved the tour and really discovered San Francisco. In addition with our last child of 7 years old, Chad knew how to occupy him, captivate him with games. Gourmet breaks, beer or wine snacking ! It was great.
20/20 continue like that
We recommend to all and also to families !

Our private tour with Chad was really the highlight of our visit to San Francisco. He showed us everything we could have wanted to see and some things we didn't even know about before. This was an absolutely wonderful experience. He was great with my teenagers. I wish I could give him ten stars.
