Overview of your San Francisco tour

See a different San Francisco throughout the night. This tour is ideal for city lights enthusiasts and steam photographers! Enjoy the must-see famous places, from Palace of Fine Arts to Bay Bridge span, but your private tour can go much further and give you a more authentic experience of all that makes San Francisco such a glorious place to visit. For example, I can guide you through an exclusive private tour of Nob Hill, top of Twin Peaks, Golden Gate Bridge, view of downtown skyline from Treasure Island, Embarcadero waterfront, City Hall, The Legion of Honor, Castro and Valencia Streets, North Beach/Broadway, Coit Tower, St. Ignatius Church, Japantown and much more. . .

Caesar is an excellent guide and a very good safe driver. During our one week stay in SF we did two tours of the city and 3 road trips with Caesar. This tour was our "goodbye San Francisco" tour. We started before sunset, covered all places that we did not get a chance to see yet, then took stunning pictures of cypress trees against sunset lit sky above Lincoln Park steps...visited Legion of Honors with its stunning lights and fountain and then proceeded to Coit tower, City Hall, Bay Bridge. San Francisco is beautiful at night and there is no fog! Caesar was his usual self: punctual, polite, accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Caesar. He was so friendly and well prepared with an itinerary to make sure that we got to all the right spots for some night photography. He managed to provide so much more than was expected so not only did we come away with some great images but some wonderful memories as well. He was full of knowledge about the history of San Francisco and its many diverse sections, as well as providing us with current information. His wonderful personality made us feel like we were family.

This was our second tour with Caesar and he made it a wonderful experience. Caesar contacted me a week before our visit to discuss areas of San Francisco we would like to see for this special night tour of the city. Caesar then organized the tour to fit our interests. Caesar then took us on a fantastic trip around the city where we got to see many of the beautiful sights of San Francisco at night. The tour included many great areas of the city which were decorated for Christmas time. Great tour!

We were in town for business with meetings all day. We wanted to see the city and thought that this would be a great way to do it. Boy, was it ever! This is MUCH better use of time thank sitting in a boring business dinner. The city at night is AMAZINGLY and we were able to appreciate its beauty in a whole different way. Our guide Caesar was excellent and attentive and quickly adapted to our style, a skill that sets good guides apart. We would DEFINITELY use him again and we couldn't be happier w/ tour.
