Amazing night tour with the incredibly adventurous and humorous Judith. She showed us both brand new parts of the city as well as old parts that seemed new after dark. And the 1971 VW "Hippie" Van that took us from site to site was a total blast!

Fun in the little VW Love van

This was one of the funnest tours we have ever done. The little VW LOVE van was a blast. We had so much fun driving around seeing all the best sights in San Francisco with our lovely guide Jacklyn learning about the hippie culture and listening to the fantastic 60’s music. Would highly recommend if you want a laid back fun tour.

Tyler, our guide, was great! His personality and knowledge of the city made the tour seem like it flew by. Traveling in the bus with the music was an experience we will never forget. Thanks Tyler!!

We really enjoyed our evening Love Tour with Doug during our stay in SF. We covered streets and areas that a large bus would have been unable to drive along and Doug kept us entertained with stories and music from our era. Would definitely recommend this fun tour in our VW. The only thing I would suggest that a microphone for the driver would help those in the rear seats to hear all being said as the VW engine can be quite noisy going uphill.

Wow! What a fun night tour! Our guide “Doug” was fantastic. We were able to see and go so many places that a regular tour bus could not. Fabulous views and so entertaining! Peace out. Go Van Go!

Kind of a bummer. This was the tour I was looking forward to the most and it was the most disappointing. The description stated photo ops at the golden gate bridge, but we went nowhere near there. There was really no point in having the hippie bus because it just felt like an ordinary tour. The description is VERY misleading.

The evening was cool but the trip around SF was fantastic. We've been to SF many times but usually for work. This evening was very informative and enjoyable. We had the town to ourselves. From the GG Bridge to the Bay Bridge. The skyline was beautiful. We definitely would recommend this tour. Thank you

This was a great tour with a really friendly and informative guide. Good to see all of San Francisco and work out which parts we definitely wanted to return to. Driving through San Francisco in a VW camper is an experience not to be missed.
