Why Choose Us?

Buy Direct: We directly operate the majority of our tours this means we have vehicles and tour guides who are our employees. Being the direct source enables us to provide the highest quality control possible. We conduct customer satisfaction surveys daily and our guides are financially compensated based on your feedback after the tour. On average our tours have over a 90% customer satisfaction rating! The few tours that we subcontract, we only use partners with whom we have established relationships for many years and trust the safety and quality of their service.
San Francisco based: Only locals know the best San Francisco tour possible. Our office is located in Fisherman’s Wharf at 501 Bay Street, San Francisco, CA 94133. Our local phone number is 1-415-357-0700 and our toll free number is 1-866-231-3752. When you call any of these numbers you will be talking with someone that is located in San Francisco, who can tell you if the weather is sunny or foggy or if there is a special event in San Francisco that may be of interest to you. There is no comparison we are always there for you.
Convenient Opening Hours: We are available from 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM every day of the week, 365 days a year (sometimes even 366 days!) and we don't have a phone tree so there are no phone transfer marathons when you call us you speak to our agents directly every time. Our offices have reservation agents available even on New Year's Eve because we know that you are on vacation and have worked hard to enjoy your time here. We want to make it as easy and as convenient as possible to help you arrange a tour even if you call late night the day before you'd like to participate. The additional benefit of our extended hours of operation is that we can assist you to the best of our ability if there is ever a snag in your travel plans.
Strict Quality Control: Our quality control supervises three sources that you interact with during your tour: 1) Our reservations staff is diverse and we count in any given day with people who speak 5-6 different languages; they have all been on our tours to experience them first hand and we always have a manager on duty 7 days a week. 2) Our tour guides are extensively trained on both safety driving techniques and are evaluated and financially compensated based on the customer tour reviews. 3) Our vehicles are frequently inspected by our drivers, mechanics and the California Highway Patrol to ensure they are in top mechanical shape.
Vehicle Safety Inspection: Safety is paramount in our industry and one of the biggest safety components in the tours we provide are our vehicles. Extranomical's fleet includes vans and mini-buses. Our vehicles are inspected constantly; first in the morning when the tour guide begins his/her day; second throughout the day the tour guide is verifying fluid levels, tire pressure and the general operation of the vehicle is monitored throughout the day. The vehicles are also inspected regularly (at least every 10,000) miles by our vehicle maintenance staff and also by independent certified mechanics during their routine maintenance. If that were not all, we also go through a thorough inspection performed by the California Highway Patrol once a year.
Tour Guide Training & Substance Abuse Testing: Our tour guides are extensively trained on both safety driving techniques and on providing an informative and interesting tour. Before being hired, we test our guides on safety driving in realistic situations around San Francisco they are also tested through an oral presentation of the material they will present to make sure that they provide a safe, knowledgeable and interesting tour. They are regularly evaluated by customer satisfaction reviews, secret shoppers and rewarded through customer satisfaction based bonuses.
