Filip was awesome I really felt to learn to know the feeling of San Francisco.
This tour is a must. I learnt so much about San Francisco and are looking more of this type of tour
I had 4 walking tours with different companies. All the tours I had were good, but this one was the best! Filip, the guide, is really passionate about the city and is very good in conveying it.
Thank God for guys like Filip who love this City and love to share their experience & knowledge. I highly recommend this Tour before making other plans because he gives you lots of good tips to take full advantage of what SF has to offer.
