Despite its name, San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood does not border the water and has no sandy spots. But its position between Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, and the Embarcadero makes it one of the city’s most popular areas for visitors and locals, all of whom enjoy its Italian eateries, Beat history, quiet park, and nightlife scene.

You're in a special city. Why take an ordinary tour? This is the ONLY convertible MINI Cooper tour in the country!
This tour is totally customizable – you choose the length of the tour, what time you want to be picked up, and what you want to see.
I love San Francisco and have spent 20 years studying and exploring the city. I’ll work with you to plan your tour so you can see the famous sites and the hidden gems other tours can't go to or don't know about. I’ve designed this to be the type of tour I would take if I visited San Francisco, but where you go is up to you. I make suggestions along the way, but how long you spend at any site is up to you. You're never rushed, and never have to wait for other people. It's all about you!
Plus, it's fun! In the convertible MINI Cooper, you see everything up close and personal as we drive along.
I love showing guests San Francisco, and talking about the history and culture of this unique and special city.
