HELLO FRIENDS and WELCOME to my home town! :) As a San Francisco Bay Area native, I'm passionate about sharing the very best of my home with guests. We are blessed to have some of the most beautiful scenery and dynamic culture in the world. I've been a Certified Guide and Tour Director for +12 YEARS. I can honestly say my education, enthusiasm and unique vehicle set me apart from other guides in the area. My guests especially enjoy visiting the areas most memorable locations from the back seat of a beautiful, fully loaded TESLA MODEL X SUV. The Teslas are such a fun and stylish cars to spend the day in. I'm also happy to demo many of the exciting (and constantly evolving) new tech features that make these vehicles so unique! Trained as a teacher, I believe we enjoy learning most through good stories! Eventually I left the classroom and now combine my love of teaching and travel to serve visitors coming to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Muir Woods and Wine Country. When I'm not home, I also lead guests in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and Europe for a 5-star global tour operator (so I know good service! ;) In my free time, I enjoy cooking classes, taking day-trips, and hiking with my 2 rescue dogs. A true San Franciscan at heart, the two things that get me out of bed in the morning are fresh-roasted coffee and warm sourdough bread. If you want to know where to eat well in the area, I'm happy to share recommendations with all my guests, as well as share tips and tricks for your independent exploration time!

On this full-day (up to 6hr) driving tour, you'll experience a rich day of San Francisco highlights. This "panoramic" full day tour is ideal if you are a first-time guest (or repeat business traveler) who would like to see much more than just downtown and the Wharf. We'll see and learn about a curated selection of the most memorable neighborhoods, at a more leisurely pace, with more immersive stops. The "City by the Bay" is one of the most eclectic and diverse cities in the US. Each neighborhood has a distinct flavor and personality, which we'll explore together. As someone who grew up here, I'm excited to share my favorite bucket list highlights, local insights AND secret spots. Come see, smell, taste, and snap photos of the Best of our City! You'll be traveling in style in a new fully-loaded all-electric Tesla Model X SUV. This stunning luxury vehicle offers state of the art features, best in class safety ratings and statement-making falcon doors
Heather is an absolutely exceptional tour guide! Her in-depth knowledge of San Francisco's history, geography, architecture, and people was impressive. In addition, and at least as important, her warmth and bubbly personality made the tour one we will never forget. My husband and I have traveled on every continent with many private tour guides, and our time with Heather is at the top of the list! Joanie & Chet
Very informative. Great relaxing way to see everything on your San Francisco list. Heather is very knowledgeable of the city's landmarks and history. She did a great job with lunch reservations too.
She thoughtfully planned our day, and made the most out of a SF tour during a pandemic. She was so intelligent, patient, kind, and the Tesla was a hit with the kids! She took the time to answer questions about the car and the city and switched up the order of things based upon requests from our family. I highly recommend Heather and would absolutely have her guide us again!
Heather did an amazing job. Despite 1/2 of our time spent in heavy rain and traffic, Heather managed to cover all of the San Francisco attractions that were important to us while keeping us dry and entertained. Her knowledge of the Bay Area from current neighborhoods and what they offer to its history and how San Francisco evolved were all well researched and presented. Her 2018 White Tesla X was a bonus, perfect for touring , great visibility from both the front and rear seats. Thank you Heather
One of the best ways to see the city. Heather is one of the best tour guides I have ever seen
Since we'll be spending the day together, I can also recommend (and reserve upon request) some of my favorite "local's joint" stops for lunch, gourmet coffee, ice cream or other memorable treats. SF is a foodie Mecca- just let me know what tickles your fancy! Depending on your preferences and timing, we'll spend the day seeing San Francisco's famous: Golden Gate Bridge Cable Cars Fisherman's Wharf Pier 39 Chinatown North Beach Lombard Street The Embarcadero The Presidio Lands End Sutro Baths Golden Gate Park Haight Ashbury Twin Peaks The Castro The Mission District Painted Ladies of Alamo Square Civic Center Union Square Nob Hill Downtown **Note:** This tour can be customized to your preference, please ask me for a quote, and I will send you a customized tour.
