Hello, I've been driving and guiding in the tour and transportation business for over 30 years. My driving record is spotless, for decades. I supply sanitizer, utilize strategic air flow, and follow the latest medical and scientific recommendations. Are you looking for the best and most experienced driver guide? You will be pleasantly surprised to receive more than you expect. My tours are customized to each party. I am happy to take photos for you. I drove large tour buses here and all over California for 15 years. I have been conducting custom/private tours and transport here in my luxury Sport Utility Vehicles since 2000. My SUV has a running board step, and I also bring a sturdy step stool. My vehicle has plenty of space for luggage and wheelchairs. My vehicle is spotless. I am committed to your safety, comfort, and overall experience. My personable customer service, knowledge, driving skills, and experience are unsurpassed. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, and from all walks of life. I have traveled to 17 countries, and driven in most of them. I enjoy multiday road trips, planning and touring. San Francisco is a safe city. We now have CCTV cameras, license plate readers, and speed cameras. The big city issue of homelessness is being effectively addressed by our new mayor. San Francisco is the number one city in the world for quality and diverse restaurants. If you will be driving on a road trip after San Francisco, I will share many "do not miss" places throughout California. I can also share with you some of the best short (or longer) hikes in California, that are some of the most scenic in the world. Thank you for exploring my standard tours, and custom itineraries are also available. I've been a Commercial California Drivers License tour bus driver/guide for 15 years, and limousine driver for 25 years. These positions require extensive safety training, and annual drug screen testing. Member of the San Francisco Tour Guide Guild for many years. Thank you for considering my services! Sincerely, Roger W.

Learn about our colorful history, and I will take the best pictures of you for a memorable tour. I know our history and the best driving routes, where there is always something to see and discuss.

a most knowledgeable and present guide. An extremely proficient driver, who made us feel completely safe and relaxed. We loved seeing the monuments of San Francisco and thank Rodger for his great guidance.

We really enjoyed our half-day tour of San Francisco. Roger was a great guide with a very comfortable vehicle and extensive knowledge of the city’s history. He showed us many things we hadn’t experienced on previous visits and delivered us to the airport perfectly on time.

Roger was an excellent guide and showed us more of San Francisco than we could possibly have seen on a tour bus or even on our own. He was full of information about the city’s history and other interesting stories. The tour was marketed as 4.5 hours, but ours lasted 5 and if we had not had a schedule to keep, I think Roger was eager to show us even one or two more things. Extremely comprehensive, comfortable, and in our opinion, the only way to tour.
