San Francisco Private Tour - Create Your Own
San Francisco, USA





Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.

Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your itinerary will be worked out between yourself and our knowledgeable experts in San Francisco. They're some of the best people to talk to about this extraordinary city — trust us! Your tour doesn't need to be a walking tour, we have access to vehicles and buses if needs be, so the world is your oyster (or at least San Francisco is, in this case!). Whatever you are looking to do that is within our Responsible Travel charter, we can organise it for you.
We offer a wide range of options for your Custom San Francisco tour. We can accommodate any size group, and pricing varies based on your group size, length of tour, additional inclusions, and mode of transportation.
If you’re attending or planning a convention, team-building event, company wellness initiative, corporate retreat, alumni and donor travel, or non-profit fundraising event, we can offer suggestions and arrange all the details for your group. We can arrange transportation, hotel rooms, meals, sightseeing tours and, most importantly, knowledgeable local guides. You can tell us what you want and we will put everything together into an exclusive, customised tour for you and your group, with as much or as little as you want.
All you need to do to get your bespoke private tour organised is to choose your desired tour date. Use the booking function on this page for this request, and choose the number of passengers in your group. In the additional request box, include any information you think will be helpful in organising your tour. No payment is required to make your initial Custom San Francisco tour inquiry.
As soon as we receive your inquiry, either at info@sanfranciscourbanadventures.com or at +1 (281) 216-5837, we will contact you by email, or, for those who leave a US phone number, we will give you a call and begin the process to organise your perfect stay in the City by the Bay.
Then, to secure your desired date and time of the tour, we'll ask for a non-refundable deposit. Once your itinerary and quote is all confirmed, we will deduct the deposit from the final quote. We can arrange all final payments and terms during the planning stages of your private San Francisco tour.
Our local guides are knowledgeable and friendly, providing you with the best local service in town. We recently received TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence Award, which shows our unmatched level of customer service. Our guides are eager and willing to help you in all of your San Francisco tour needs, so feel free to put them to the test!
