The 90 minute highlight tour was perfect. The meeting place was very easy to find, and the price was amazing given what we got in return. The car was vintage, environmentally friendly, and adorable. Our guide and attendant (Hi Don and Brian!) were friendly, knowledgeable, and had great tips for our vacation in the city. During the tour, we learned... more

I would definitely recommend this tour (the 3 hour tour) to anyone who wants to see a lot of the city and learn information about the sites. Our tour guide, Patrick, is a S.F. native and was funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Tour was intimate size (only 4 people on our tour) and it was easy to ask questions. Will go... more

We were booked on the 10.30am tour on Sat 21 Nov. Yes Mr Toad does operate out another shop but that does not reflect on their service. We were Patrick's only 2 customers. A lot of companies might have cancelled due to lack of demand or told us to come back for a busier tour. Our private tour was fun... more

I took the 3 hour tour last weekend with my 23 year old daughter and 20 year old son. I'd been to SF twice before but I still learned a lot on this tour. Patrick was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the city. I especially enjoyed the music that he played for us. I highly recommend this... more

We should have recognized this tour could be a problem when we arrived at the designated location- they are operating the business at a stand OUTSIDE a store. Don't expect to sit down or get in out of the elements-even the lady in charge didn't have a seat! We finally were directed to the car with one other couple, chose... more

Thank you for your review of Mr. Toad's Tours. As one of the only small, family-owned, tour operators in San Francisco, we continue to do our best to make every one of our guests' experiences a positive one. Currently, we operate out of a modest sales booth ("Harveysgirl" has posted a picture of it on TripAdvisor), inside the storefront of...

We went with visiting grandparents and brought our kids and the whole crew really enjoyed the tour. it was great to have such a personal, small tour. We're local and most of the info was new to us! We were the last tour of the day, and our guide took an extra 30 minutes, which was nice. more

My son, my daughter in law and I had the most enjoyable tour of San Francisco that we could imagine with our driver/guide John Francisco, a genuinely really nice person. He grew up in San Francisco and shared his vast knowledge and love of the city with all who were lucky to be aboard his tour that day. We were... more

Our tour guide was John Francisco and he was wonderful. We had never been to San Fran before and our guide pointed out many awesome things and we saw parts of the city that we didn't think we'd have time to. We were also given many tips and helpful info on what to see and do after the tour and... more

Our guide and driver Charlie was amazing, he knew so much about San Francisco, its heritage, its use in films & television and the history of all the iconic landmarks. We loved this informative and historic tour of San Francisco and found our guide to be a pleasure to spend time with. The only thing we missed was a stop... more
