Although it was fun to walk around and hear about the history of the city, the tour wasn't all that humorous. I've had non-comedic tours with as much humor and fun.
I'd say that any tour has as much likelihood of being funny as this one was. |

We had a great time.
Ages range 18 (mo) to 18 to 60
Walked Nob Hill, Union Square, Chinatown and North Beach. Even locals learned some new info. Guide was very patient and very funny. We all had a blast. |

My adult daughter and I were very entertained - and learned a lot, too! Tom was a great tour guide. We had so much fun with the small group we were with that we continued on our own down to the wharf afterwards and had a late lunch together. Would definitely do it again! |

Blake and I enjoyed our tour. It was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco! We now know more about San Francisco than we do about our home city. We were especially happy that the tour wound it's way down hill! We will recommend this to our friends who are also planning a trip to San Francisco! AJ was a wonderful tour guide!
Thank you so much

Learned things about San Francisco that were fun and fascinating. My friends and I are already trying to figure out which tour to do next.
Great gift idea! |

Our tour guide was timely and enthusiastic, but we didn't find much humor in the tour, despite the fact that it was billed as a comedy tour. The information provided was helpful and informational. Some of the attempted jokes were not appropriate for school-aged children. Recommend including this note on your Web site. An easy walk, avoiding the steep hills. |

AJ was a great host for our tour. As locals to the Bay area, we know San Francisco pretty well, but we still learned some interesting tidbits, and saw some back-street scenes that we might otherwise miss.
This is a good way for tourists to take in three different areas of the city and learn some good stuff as they do so. |

Not our kind of humor

I heard about this walking tour from Fodor's guidebook. The description said the tour guides were stand-up comedians, and they would have us breathless from laughter. Our guide, Tom, got a couple laughs from us. That was about it. Very nice guy and very informative/knowledgeable about the history of SF. I guess it just wasn't our kind of humor. |

Tom did a good job. He concentrated on the culture more than history which was more interesting than just boring history. Culture also allowed for more jokes. Also liked the large breath of the tour from art history to beatniks. |

Anson was the guide. My main criticism is that I wish his voice was louder. Our group consisted of 6 people, but I can't imagine having a larger group and fighting to get close enough to the guide to hear him. I suggest that the guides wear a small mic. Given city noise like traffic and construction it would be helpful. There were times that I could not hear what was being said. Who knows how many tidbits I missed. It would have been nice if at the beginning, he had us all introduce each other. I expected more of a comedian as well. Anson was reasonably funny. Though he had many facts at his fingertips, I was expecting more. Example: the labyrinth at Grace Cathedral, I would have thought he knew more about it. The distance covered was just right, not too long. Maybe my expectations were too high? I don't know. I wouldn't let this experience prevent me from trying a foot tour again, at least one more time. |
