Vantigo is on the road offering everything from City, Beer and Wine tours, to wedding charters and company outings. We strive to fill the niche for people who want to do touristy things without feeling like a tourist. We curate the perfect California experience for guests, whether that means exploring San Francisco's storied neighborhoods, drinking craft beer at up and coming breweries or sampling pinot in the Sonoma sunshine.

    • Q:

      Do you drink on both the city tour and the brewery tour?

      A:

      Hi Kristy! Thanks for the question. We do not provide alcohol on our regular city tours, however if you choose to do a Private Tour, we can stock the bus up with beer, wine and sodas!

      Chad was a great tour guide. Most all of the hot spots were seen or at least discussed. He was very informative and enthusiastic. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco.

      We had the best time with Chad taking us all over SF in his van, Lily! What a great trip -even being natives, we learned a few new things as we were expertly guided through the streets and neighborhoods of SF. We loved all the different music and anecdotes! You must do this tour!!

      I need an option for more stars! This was, by far, our favorite activity of our visit! Chad is so personable, and Lily (our VW bus) is a champ! Chad took us to sights we would never have seen otherwise. He had great stories about the different areas, and gave us great recommendations for places to explore. The tour is worth every dime, I 100% recommend this tour.

      Made a last minute decision to book a tour with Vantigo while in San Francisco. Best decision and one of the highlights of my trip. I'd already walked all over the city, rode Muni in all forms, enjoying the city for the first time. But I wanted to have a local guide to get me up close to the main spots (GG Bridge) and out of way spots (Tank Hill) before I left town. Well Vantigo was great. Chad was informative but also fun!! I'd been having vertigo and was afraid of sitting in the back of a VW van on those streets and hills. The friendly fellow travelers said I could sit up front!! What a treat. A wonderful tour indeed. However, I now want to change careers, move to California and be a tour guide for Vantigo!! I first need to learn to drive a stick... thank you from

      If you want a unique way to see one of the greatest cities, this is your tour. I've been to SF many times, and this tour is one of my very favorite things to do in the city. I tell everyone about it because it is that great of an experience. In three hours, you'll hit the highlights of San Francisco as you learn about the history and culture of the city. It's a great tour to do early in your trip so you have an idea of the places you want to revisit (and there will be many)! If you're on the fence, get off of the fence, and get in the bus! You won't regret it.

      Chad was fantastic at bringing us to see San Francisco and the many private spots that only a native, experienced guide would know. It was a relaxing and informative morning and we left feeling we had covered all the unique corners of this great city.

      This is the only way to tour San Francisco! I have lived in the Bay Area for three years and had friends in town that wanted to check out SF. This exceeded my already high expectations. Chad was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about the rich history of the city and he's a pretty great photographer! Book this tour!

      Chad and Erik (driving Harvey and Lillie) were a WONDERFUL part of our wedding day! They arrived early to pick up the bridal party, positioned the vans at the wedding venue for photos, and were all around a joy to have at our celebration. Thank you to the whole Vantigo team!

      Vantigo tours are a great way to see SF in a few hours and get a sense of the city along with fun facts and history. Chad made the ride comfortable for our group, who ranged in age from 20s to 80s. He made several stops for us to get out and take photos. At no point did we feel rushed or stressed. Chad has been running these tours for 11 years and really started the small van tours business in SF. I highly recommend Vantigo.

      The most amazing tour of San Francisco! Made multiple beautiful stops for perfect pictures and sightseeing. Chad was very knowledgeable about the city when talking about each new place and recommended a lot of great places to eat or do something fun. He was very friendly and kept offering to take our picture or provide us with waters and snacks. Pickup was simple and easy. We had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend doing this tour!
