“We had a blast on our private tour with Chad and his partner Lily, the little red VW bus. Chad was very knowledgeable about the city and we learned so much about the history of the landmarks and neighborhoods. Lily was able to get us into places and make stops that a bigger bus would not be able to make. We had several stops and had all the time we needed to look around and take pics. He had snacks, drinks, all the right music, jokes, and clean bathroom stops. Lily was clean, well maintained, and her classic good looks turned heads all over town. The flower painted VW buses…”

“The most memorable part of Classic sidecar tour was our tour guide Jerome. Easy to talk to, informative, educational , lots of fun, he was absolutely wonderful to spend the day with! He was on time, and then never made us feel like we were in a hurry. Such a fun, relaxing, wonderful day! The sidecar experience was great, an experience we had never done before. The 3 wineries were beautiful, #1 was beautiful and informative. #2 was more beautiful with rolling vineyard's. #3 was more of a relaxing feel. All of the people at the different wineries made the day unforgettable. Jerome has a lunch spot that was special!…”
Pedal a four-seat surrey through Golden Gate Park for an hour. Helmet, map, lock included. Gardens, museums, and the beach.
“One might think that this surrey ride would be a pleasant way to tour Golden Gate Park but, sadly, that is not the case. There is only one gear and that means traveling uphill by pedaling is a difficult chore. If you are in excellent physical condition, with very strong legs and a lot of experience on a one-speed bicycle, you might find the experience enjoyable. If not, you will be better off walking.”
