Hello! I'm glad you're here. My name is Caesar, and proud of being recognized as one of the highest performing tour guides by ToursByLocals.

I have a deep passion for and a unique perspective on this wonderful city, which I have called home for many years. I graduated from SF State University and have been an independent tour guide for over 10 years.

I’m passionate about traveling and connecting with people from diverse cultures. I’m a friendly and cheerful person, and I treat my clients as if they were my friends.

I CAN SHOW YOU PLACES YOU WON’T SEE ON A REGULAR TOUR BUS. My tours are perfect for visitors who want a detailed overview of the area before exploring on their own, as well as for those who are only here for a short time and want to make the most of it.

Areas to be visited can be tailored to your specific interests. Let me know how you'd like to get around San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Muir Woods (Redwood Trees), Point Reyes, Napa-Sonoma Wine Country and Coastal Hwy 1 (Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey and Carmel-17 mile drive). I'll create an itinerary that matches your preferences and time frame.

I also offer step-on guide services for large tour groups.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Cheers!

The biggest problem giving a San Francisco tour is that there is too much to see. This is a good problem.

Let me dazzle you with an amazing 4 hour tour. You will see some of the most beautiful sites the city and this area has to offer, the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, Lombard Street, Fishermans Wharf, Chinatown and much more.

As your tour guide, I can adjust the schedule, duration and activities to meet your needs. Please let me know what you would like to see so we don't miss anything.

Bon voyage . . .

Essential San Francisco Half Day Private City Tour

San Francisco's waterfront, the place where the scenic vistas of the Bay combine with the vibrancy of the people, their laughter, fun, happiness, serenity and bliss.

We will start at the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. Then, the sweet smell of roasting cocoa beans will accompany us to the Maritime National Historic Park. We'll discover the ships and sailing boats and their maritime legends. Maybe we'll even find a message in a bottle on the shore.

We'll continue our tour along Fisherman's Wharf, home of the best seafood one can indulge in. One of the culinary delights of the place is the mouth-watering clam chowder in the bread bowl (yum!). We can stop for coffee and do some souvenir shopping if you want to.

The tour will take us along the Embarcadero, to Pier 39, where we will visit the famously large sea dogs, the happy seals bathing in the sun.

Alcatraz, Angel Island, the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge will all loom in the background as we enjoy our unforgettable memories in San Francisco.
