Brandon was an excellent guide...funny, extremely knowledgeable & a lot of fun! The tour itself was sooo beautiful, that words don't do it justice. Will definitely recommend this tour to family & friends if they are traveling to SF! ❤️ Tina & Robert G.
★★★★★Viator review
Fabulous from start to finish!
Tina_G, October 2026
Brandon was the absolute best guide! We were running late to the meeting point & he was gracious enough to wait for us. He was very funny & extremely knowledgeable about San Fancisco history. He made our day trip so much fun! We would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to visit multiple sites all in one excursion, and not just because the sites are amazingly beautiful, but because SF Excursions was fabulous from start to finish! FYI - opt for the Alcatraz Tour add-on...totally worth it! ❤️ New Mexico Guests
