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!

The SF Bay Area has been my home since I was 3 years old. Some of my earliest memories are eating crab and fresh sourdough bread with my family. While a lot has changed since then, San Francisco is still full of wonderful classic-moments and hidden treasures that I look forward to sharing with you! On this half-day driving tour, you'll experience the top "hits" of the City by the Bay. This "express" half-day tour is ideal if you'd like to see and learn about a curated selection of the most iconic sites in in a short amount of time. 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. I'll share my favorite "locals" spots along side the famous bucket list highlights. 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.
We booked a 4 hour tour with Heather as we had a stopover in San Francisco for one night. This has been the perfect way to have a short overview of the city. Heather has been the perfect guide. Very friendly she has a perfect knowledge of he city and showed us all the important must sees in our 4 hours tour. For our son the driving with the Tesla X has been exciting. All in all a perfect tour in a very nice city.
She did a fabulous job for my corporate event! I had her to a skyline tour from the top of the Salesforce Tower and she CRUSHED IT. The guests thought it was super cool
Heather was amazing! Not only was she super knowledgably about the city of SF, she also helped me plan a wedding proposal while keeping it a secret the entire day. The whole trip was smooth and easy. She took us to some of the best spots around town and some cool places we have never even heard of. Heather was very professional and awesome to have a guide. She went above and beyond in every way. I highly recommend her!

Very knowledgeable! A great way to experience SF if you have limited time. Car was fun too!
Wonderful experience with our tour guide! We are very grateful that Heather was able to accommodate us and our preferences. We had a very uplifting tour of San Francisco and have seen the important points of interest we didn't know we wanted to see! We drove through the Golden Gate Bridge and took pictures of it from several locations. Heather has a wealth of knowledge that she shared with us, and she answered all of our questions as well. It has been a very memorable tour. We will go with Heather again.
