The experience

You arrive in San Francisco with a free afternoon or a morning to spare, and you don't want to navigate the city on your own or squeeze into a crowded bus with thirty other people. A private car tour solves that: a driver and guide pick you up where you're staying, and you spend the next four hours seeing the neighborhoods and landmarks that actually interest you. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, and the route is yours to shape: Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park, Chinatown, the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoints, the painted ladies of Alamo Square, whatever fits the time and your mood.

The car holds up to six people, so a family or a small group travels together without splitting up or waiting for strangers. You avoid the parking hassles and the map searches that eat into a short day, and you skip the rigid itinerary that stops at places you didn't come to see. The guide handles navigation and knows where to go. You just decide what to look at.
