Private San Francisco City Sightseeing Tour by Convertible Jeep

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.

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.

• North Tower visitor overlook 
• Marin Headlands overlook 
• Historic Fort Point (located under the South End of the Bridge)
• Fort Baker (located near the North End of the Bridge)  

With lots of stops, places to visit, and limited time there will not be time to walk out onto the bridge sidewalks. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Our Jeeps seat 6 people total plus the driver/guide.

Jeeps are small vehicles – for everyone’s comfort, we suggest 4 adult riders per Jeep plus 2 children/teens in the smaller 3rd-row seating.

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.

We do have Child Seats and Booster Seats available by prior request. 

No children seated in laps.

The 3rd row is great for older children (age 10 up) and teens. There is more wind in the last row of seats so it is not a great seating spot for young children.
