What Our Guests Are Saying About Us
Highly recommend!
We booked 2 tours. One to Muir Woods and the City tour. Both tours were excellent. Our driver guide was a history professor and was very thorough and entertaining. We highly recommend Extranomical for value. They gave us a totally new outlook of a city we thought we knew.

Wonderful time!
We got to see so much of the city that we knew we wouldn't have a chance to see while we were there for only a short time. And they also have a very accommodating customer service.

Fantastic guide
If you have just a few days in San Francisco, this is a great way to visit the most iconic places in the city. I recommend you take this tour the first day, that way you’ll know which places you really want to visit. Kimmy, our guide from Extranomical tours did a fantastic job.

Interesting tour
The guide grew up in San Francisco and took us through many interesting parts of the city. It was a good mix of regular sightseeing and inside information. The group was just right with six people to take individual wishes into account. We recommend!!!!

Amazing experience
We had an amazing afternoon. Really extensive tour and I don't think we missed anything in San Francisco. It was really nice that we were only with a small group and small van so the car could sometimes stop on the road side whenever we passed an interesting landmark that we wanted to learn more about. The small group also allowed for questions and the climatized van with the huge windows was really optimal for sightseeing. Most of all: our SF-local driver guide was amazing!

From the very start, great communication. They put together a great private tour for my group in San Francisco that went off without a hitch. They were on time, friendly and will definitely recommend them and use their services again.
