It was OK. The tour lacked depth.

It was really informative in showing places you may pass all the time and know nothing about; it was fun, too--the humor, both very clever and sometimes intentionally corny--wasn't over the top but just added a light and friendly touch. It's a great way to get some fairly easy exercise and also get to see the city. My friend and I really enjoyed it.

THE TOUR GUIDE did not have a lot of info and seemed to have to search for what to say, save your money and walk through the city yourself.

Tour guide was AJ + sidekick (young male actor). She was enthusiastic in her presentation despite a small group (seven of us).

I am from the East Bay and so all of her information was not new to me but my guest (from Boston) enjoyed learning a bit about SF. I did not think the young man she arrived with (and his comments throughout the tour) added anything. Given our tour was on Xmas day the ambience was quiet and not challenged by a lot of other tourists.
Well done for the most part.
