Every San Francisco Jeep Tour is 100% private — just you, your group, and your guide.
You’ll never share the vehicle with strangers, which means total flexibility throughout the day. Want more photo stops? Less narration and more exploring? A specific neighborhood added in? It’s your call.
Our goal is simple: create a relaxed, seamless experience that fits your pace and interests — so you make the most of your time exploring San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Yes, all of our tours have multiple opportunities to get out of the Jeep, take lots of pictures, or walk around the attractions and sites.
These are all custom private tours and the pace and stops are adjected to what you want.
Other than Muir Woods we do not enter the attractions or museums.
All of our Tours (other than food tours) include crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.
The bridge views from our convertible Jeeps make for a great experience and plenty of amazing photos.
Depending on traffic and parking lot closures we will stop at one of these amazing view spots. All are great for photos.
With lots of stops, places to visit, and limited time there will not be time to walk out onto the bridge sidewalks.
Please book as far in advance as possible. Reservations are required. We are occasionally able to accommodate walk up reservations when space and tour guides are available. Best plan is to always call in advance confirm availability.
We suggest you either book online or call 415-474-3130 or toll-free 1-877-474-3130.
Our tours sell out during the busy Summer travel season in San Francisco.

Please remember to bring or request the required car seat(s) for any young children. We are not set up for rear-facing car seats for infants.

Our regular tour start times are typically 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. Because our tours are private, we may be able to offer a custom start time as early as 7:00 AM or as late as 7:00 PM.

Custom start times are not guaranteed, but if we have a guide and Jeep available, we’re happy to help. San Francisco traffic, large city events, sports games, bridge conditions, and Muir Woods opening and closing times can all affect the best tour schedule. If needed, we may suggest a nearby start time that gives your group the smoothest, most relaxed sightseeing experience.

Guests from around the world ask us about the U.S. custom of gratuities.

No, guide gratuities are not included in the tour price. We keep our tours affordable by not adding a fixed gratuity, allowing guests to tip at their discretion.
How can I tip if I don’t have cash?
We understand that many guests don’t carry cash, so we offer a quick and secure digital tipping option called TipDirect.
You can tip your guide via:

All gratuities go straight to them, and your support is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for supporting our amazing team of guides, and we hope you had an unforgettable San Francisco adventure!
Note: Gratuities are included as part of the pre-paid cost for our private group tours and corporate team building events.
For those chilly foggy days, all of our vehicles have warm blankets aboard! We have ponchos for light rain or drizzle.
If rain is in the forecast (only during the winter and early spring seasons), we install a lightweight rain top to keep some of the rain off. Alternatively, we may install the hardtop if heavier rain is in the forecast.
Soft tops and hard tops are used very infrequently and are only available during the rainy season (winter and early spring) The tops are not an on-demand item.
Our top priority is passenger safety, so in the event of a huge rainstorm, we will cancel the tour and provide you with a full refund or reschedule.
City Day and Evening Tours can be canceled up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
No-shows and late arrivals (more than 30 minutes late) are not refunded or rescheduled.
Muir Woods & Sausalito Tours can be canceled up to 24 hours in advance for a partial refund. The cost of the Muir Woods National Park admission tickets (currently $15.00 per adult) are not refundable and cannot be transferred to another date.
Muir Woods is a National Park. Exchanges, refunds, discounts or cancellations are not offered.
Alcatraz Combo Packages
All Alcatraz Combo sales are final. Absolutely no changes, refunds, or cancellations are allowed. Combo tickets must be booked at least 96 hours in advance. This combo requires participation in both the Jeep City Tour and the Alcatraz portion.

These are free pictures that we take when we can, and there is no guarantee that there will be pictures of your group.
We appreciate you booking a tour with us. Thanks again.
Suggested: An extra layer of warm, wind resistant clothing.
With the chilly wind, wet fog and damp environment along the waterfront and in the national park shorts and a t-shirts are NOT a good fashion idea.
Please leave bulky backpacks at home. All personal items must be stored in your lap. We do not have storage aboard for backpacks or luggage.
We take solo travelers on our private tours regularly. Our minimum $ to operate our tours is a reservation for 2 seats. If you want to book a reservation please select 2 seats for any of our tours. It helps to add a note that you are a solo traveler.
We get asked if a solo traveler can join another private tour group. We are not set up to combine private groups.
Unfortunately not. Also, please keep in mind our vehicles have a side step to get in and out of them.
No on the City Tours, however, the vehicles do have a high step, so tour participants must be able to step in and out of the vehicles.
The Muir Woods tours do require walking. The entrance and entry trail in Muir Woods National Parks are boardwalks.
Well, obviously, our Jeeps are way more cool than those behemoths! But if that’s not a compelling enough reason, consider this: Hop On Hop Off buses are not allowed in most of the city. That means you will see only major tourist sites rather than the hidden gems that only a Jeep Tour can get to.
Plus you and your group are the only ones aboard the Jeep. Tour at the pace you want.
Yes, we do!
Lombard Street is a must-see, and our private San Francisco Jeep Tours take you right to the heart of it. Known as the “Crookedest Street in the World,” this scenic, twisty stretch on Russian Hill is famous for its tight hairpin turns and vibrant flowerbeds. With your expert guide behind the wheel, you’ll cruise down the iconic curves without the stress of driving or parking. It’s the perfect chance to snap amazing photos and experience one of San Francisco’s most legendary streets—up close and in style.
Choosing Between a 2-Hour vs. 3-Hour Private San Francisco Jeep Tour
What is the main difference between the 2-hour and 3-hour tour?
The 2-hour tour provides a fantastic overview of San Francisco’s top landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and other must-see sights. The 3-hour tour extends your adventure, allowing extra time for additional stops, in-depth exploration, and scenic detours to hidden gems.
What additional sights are included in the 3-hour tour?
The 3-hour tour offers all the highlights of the 2-hour tour plus more time to explore iconic spots such as:
Which tour is best for me?
Does the tour still include the Golden Gate Bridge?
Yes! Both the 2-hour and 3-hour tours include a drive across or a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge, perfect for stunning photos.
Can I customize my tour?
Absolutely! Both tour lengths allow some customization, but the 3-hour tour offers more flexibility to tailor stops based on your interests.

Why Choose a Private Group Jeep Tour Over a Bus Tour?
A Private Group Jeep Tour offers a personalized, small-group experience, while a bus tour is a large-group, fixed-itinerary tour. With a Jeep tour, you enjoy flexibility, exclusive access, and a more immersive adventure through San Francisco.
What are the benefits of booking a Private Group Jeep Tour?
✅ Customizable Itinerary – Unlike bus tours with a set schedule, you can tailor your Jeep tour to visit the places that interest you most.
✅ Intimate Experience – Your private Jeep seats up to 6 guests, making the tour personal and interactive instead of crowded and impersonal.
✅ Access to More Places – Jeeps can go where big buses can’t! Explore hidden gems, scenic overlooks, and charming neighborhoods buses must skip.
✅ More Photo Stops – Stop whenever you want for the perfect shot! Bus tours have limited designated stops.
✅ Fun & Engaging Guide – Your dedicated tour guide makes the experience engaging with local stories, recommendations, and insider tips.
✅ No Waiting, No Crowds – No long lines, no waiting for other passengers—just your group and your adventure.
Can I still see the major landmarks on a Jeep tour?
Absolutely! Your private Jeep tour covers all the must-see sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, and more, plus unique stops most bus tours miss.
Is a Private Group Jeep Tour worth the extra cost?
Yes! While bus tours may be cheaper, a Jeep tour gives you a VIP experience with flexibility, comfort, and a personal touch—making it the best way to explore San Francisco.

Muir Woods Private Tour Options:
Muir Woods National Monument is in Marin County, California, just a few miles north of San Francisco. The 558-acre monument preserves one of the last remaining ancient redwood forests in the Bay Area. Some of the redwoods are nearly 1,000 years old and reach heights of more than 250 feet.
Named for conservationist John Muir, it was the 10th national monument to be designated under the Antiquities Act of 1906, the first to be in proximity to a major city, and the first to consist of formerly privately-owned lands.
Today, Muir Woods National Monument is home to more than 380 different plants and animals, including 27 species of mammals, 50 species of birds, 12 species of reptiles, and 5 species of amphibians.
Redwood Creek, the principal stream in the monument, runs clean and clear beneath the towering trees. Its waters are home to Coho salmon and steelhead trout—keystone species in many Pacific ecosystems.
Muir Woods National Monument is managed by the National Park Service as a distinct park unit within Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Established by Congress in 1972, Golden Gate National Recreation Area is one of the largest national parks in an urban area, spanning three counties: Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo. With more than 19 million annual visitors, the park is both an international destination and a local treasure for the 7 million people who call the Bay Area home. The park includes world-renowned destinations like Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods National Monument, and the Presidio, as well as sites of regional and national importance, including the Marin Headlands, Stinson Beach, Fort Mason, Ocean Beach, Fort Funston, Sweeney Ridge, and Mori Point.

Yes. This tour is designed for just two guests, so the entire Jeep is yours for the tour.
You’ll have your own local driver-guide, your own route, and no other guests added to your booking. No waiting for a big group to load up. No rotating seats. No mystery strangers joining halfway through.
That’s the whole idea.
Nope.
The tour works for any two people traveling together — couples, friends, siblings, parent-and-adult-child trips, birthday getaways, anniversary trips, or two travel buddies who simply want a private sightseeing experience.
The focus is on having your own Jeep and your own San Francisco adventure, not turning the day into a romance package.
Quite a lot.
San Francisco is compact, and a private Jeep is a very efficient way to cover the city’s hills, waterfront, neighborhoods, and viewpoints.
A 2-hour tour can typically include highlights such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, Lombard Street, Chinatown, North Beach, and Pacific Heights, depending on traffic and conditions.
With 2.5 or 3 hours, you have more flexibility to add places such as the Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, Twin Peaks, or the Mission District.
Yes — we drive across the Golden Gate Bridge.
It’s one of the signature parts of the tour.
Depending on traffic, weather, and access conditions, your guide may also stop at a nearby viewpoint such as the Marin Headlands, Fort Baker, or Fort Point.
And yes, these are excellent places for the “we really went to San Francisco” photo.
Usually, yes.
When traffic, road access, and conditions allow, we drive down the famous crooked section of Lombard Street.
Eight hairpin turns, brick pavement, flowers, steep hills, and tourists taking pictures of you while you zigzag downhill.
It’s one of those classic San Francisco experiences that is especially fun from inside a Jeep.
Absolutely.
One of the biggest advantages of a private San Francisco Jeep tour is that the route can be adjusted around what the two of you actually want to see.
Want more viewpoints? More neighborhoods? Architecture? Murals? Golden Gate Bridge photos? Less narration and more cruising?
Tell your guide.
The exact route still depends on your tour length, traffic, weather, road closures, and San Francisco being San Francisco — but the experience is much more flexible than a fixed-route bus tour.
Photo stops are a big part of the experience, especially at major viewpoints such as the Golden Gate Bridge and other scenic stops along the route.
Your guide is also happy to take photos with your phone so both of you can actually be in the picture.
No more coming home with 47 photos of one traveler and three blurry selfies of both of you.
They’re very different experiences.
A hop-on hop-off bus can be useful if you mainly want transportation between major attractions.
A private Jeep tour for two guests gives you your own vehicle, your own guide, a flexible route, smaller streets, scenic detours, photo stops, and no waiting around for a bus schedule or a group of strangers.
If you value privacy, flexibility, and seeing more of the city in a short amount of time, the Jeep has a pretty big advantage.
Yes — it’s an especially good fit for first-time visitors.
In just a few hours, you can see many of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks, understand how the neighborhoods fit together, and get local recommendations for places you may want to explore later.
It’s basically a very efficient introduction to the city — minus the giant bus.
It shouldn’t.
Because the tour is private and there are only two guests, there’s no time lost waiting for a large group to load, unload, shop, regroup, or find the person who wandered off.
A 2-hour tour is great for the major highlights.
If you want a slower pace, additional neighborhoods, or more time at viewpoints, the 2.5- or 3-hour option gives you more breathing room.
Tours depart from Fisherman’s Wharf at Hyde Street and Jefferson Street, in the passenger loading area on the Hyde Street side near the Argonaut Hotel.
It’s an easy starting point close to Fisherman’s Wharf, Aquatic Park, cable cars, Ghirardelli Square, and PIER 39.
Limited hotel pickup and drop-off may also be available for an additional fee from selected hotels in:
Pickup availability depends on your hotel location and the day’s tour schedule.

Sometimes.
Regular daytime start times for the Tour for 2 guests are typically 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 AM or 12:30, 1:00 and 1:30 PM, but custom daytime departures may be available depending on guide and Jeep availability.
If you need a slightly earlier or later start, ask before booking and we’ll see what works.
Because this is a private tour for two, we have more flexibility than a scheduled group tour — but availability still depends on the day’s reservations.
