It has been a very full day, we have done the tour in the morning and then we have gone to eat pizza with another tour partner and then we have ended up doing the tour with José with the bike up to Sausalito. We ended up dead but happy. Many thanks to Jose, it has been perfect. THANK YOU Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour estuvo bien, pero creo que se podría mejorar. El guía nos explicó muchas cosas, pero en muchas ocasiones se iba de un tema a otro sin terminar el primero. Para mí el icono de San Francisco es su puente del Golden Gate y no hubo una sola referencia a él o su historia. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was good, but I think it could be improved. The guide explained many things to us, but on many occasions he went from one topic to another without finishing the first one. For me the icon of San Francisco is its Golden Gate Bridge and there was not a single reference to it or its history. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía, mexicano, sabía mucho de la zona pero se detuvo mucho en detalles y en anécdotas de su vida personal ...y cuando tienes poco tiempo para conocer mucho, no ayuda . Podríamos haber recorrido más calles... y podría haber acotado la info a lo más destacado.

The guide, a Mexican, knew a lot about the area but he went into a lot of detail and anecdotes from his personal life...and when you have little time to learn a lot, it doesn't help. We could have traveled more streets... and could have limited the info to the highlights.

Los guías son profesionales que se esfuerzan por ofrecer una experiencia interactiva a los participantes. Para ello, a veces charlan con ellos o les hacen algún comentario de índole personal. Sentimos si este/a, en concreto, se excedió en este aspecto. Translate this opinion into English.

Guides are professionals who strive to provide an interactive experience for participants. To do this, they sometimes chat with them or make some comment of a personal nature. We are sorry if this one, in particular, went too far in this regard. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me ha gustado la cercanía del guía parece que tiene mucho conocimiento y buenas capacidades comunicativas ,opino que sería positivo centrarse más en la descripción histórica y cultural de la ciudad obviando las opiniones personales . Ha sido intenso pero nos hubiera gustado un recorrido más variado , repartiendo el tiempo por otras zonas céntricas . Translate this opinion into English.

I liked the closeness of the guide, it seems that he has a lot of knowledge and good communication skills, I think it would be positive to focus more on the historical and cultural description of the city, ignoring personal opinions. It has been intense but we would have liked a more varied route, spreading the time through other central areas. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cuando hicimos el tour ya llevábamos tres dias en la ciudad, y aún así siempre se aprenden cosas nuevas y se descubren rincones interesantes. Quizás habría que insistir en que el recorrido cubre una muy pequeña parte de la ciudad "visitable", dejando muchas cosas fuera (totalmente comprensible, solo lo menciono por si piensan que es una panorámica completa) y que no es "circular" por lo que tienes que volver por tus propios medios. Translate this opinion into English.

When we did the tour we had already been in the city for three days, and even so, new things are always learned and interesting corners are discovered. Perhaps it should be insisted that the route covers a very small part of the "visitable" city, leaving many things out (totally understandable, I only mention it in case you think it is a complete panorama) and that it is not "circular" so you have to get back on your own.

Our guide was born in Yugoslavia, sadly I don’t remember his name so he can get the credits for this review. His storytelling abilities are simply fantastic, he told us so many interesting facts and stories about the city, and he is very charismatic too. I had to leave the tour early but will definitely come back and do it again until the end. We started at union square, went to Chinatown and then the financial district.

Muy buen tour. El guía muy entusiasta ! talvez se extendió mas de la duración del tour. Esto se debe tener en cuenta ya que algunas personas tenían otras actividades ya programadas entonces tuvieron que postergarlas o cancelarlas. Su español no es muy bueno pero se hacía entender ! Translate this opinion into English.

Very good tour. The very enthusiastic guide! maybe it extended more than the duration of the tour. This should be taken into account as some people had other activities already scheduled so they had to postpone or cancel them. His Spanish is not very good but he made himself understood!

I have been thinking in this experience. I have to say it was de best tour we ever had. But it didnt started as good. We are spanish native speakers, and we wanted to practice our english, but our english guide was different with us. He started to ask all of the members of the tour where they were from, and showed a lot of interest, but, with us he fast short of words and fast. It felt weird. He suggested we take the spanish tour, and we did. I am glad we changed tours. José was excelent!!!

The activity was wonderful! It was clear to see that our guide had a lot of passion and love for the city. It was amazing, every story that was told I was immediately captivated. Our guide was very willing to answer any questions that were asked and even the questions that were unrelated to the tour.

José, el guía, estuvo espectacular. Hizo la actividad muy amena e interesante. Además, nos ayudó con todas las preguntas que le hicimos al final sobre la ciudad. La única pega fue que éramos un grupo muy numeroso y costaba movernos y poder escucharle bien.

José, the guide, was spectacular. He made the activity very enjoyable and interesting. In addition, he helped us with all the questions we asked him at the end about the city. The only drawback was that we were a very large group and it was difficult to move around and be able to hear him well.

Los guías se esfuerzan por hacerse oír por todos los participantes y no tienen inconveniente en repetir explicaciones a petición. Aun así, tomamos nota de los comentarios y esperamos que nos ayuden a seguir mejorando, también en esta faceta del servicio. Translate this opinion into English.

Nuestro guía nos explicó muchas cosas de la ciudad, como se organizaron los barrios y sus problemas pasados y más recientes. Luego además del tour nos dio indicaciones de transporte, lugares donde ir despues, numerosas recomendaciones de bares y restaurantes que en alguno fuimos y estuvo de lo más acertado.

Bien. El tour fue interesante pero el guía lo hizo demasiado largo, tardando media hora en empezar y parándose todo el rato a hablar de recomendaciones. Eso se suele hacer al final para quien las quiera. Demasiada opinión personal sobre algunos temas. Translate this opinion into English.

Good. The tour was interesting but the guide made it too long, taking half an hour to start and stopping all the time to talk about recommendations. That is usually done at the end for whoever wants them. Too much personal opinion on some topics. Opinion translated. Show original.
