Vintage VW Bus City Tour with Public & Private Options Available

What you'll do:

Climb aboard a fully restored vintage Volkswagen bus and take a journey through the heart of San Francisco with the Painted Ladies Tour Company. Listen as the bus’s engine purrs gently, and feel the wind in your hair as you wind your way up and down the city’s famous hilly streets. The small group size creates a friendly and intimate atmosphere where you can get to know your fellow passengers and share in the excitement of exploring the city’s hidden gems.

Smell the crisp scent of the bay breeze as you take in the iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The pastel colors of the iconic Painted Ladies stand out against the sky, and the intricate murals adorning the streets of the city burst with vibrant hues. Come join us on this unforgettable journey, and let your senses be fully immersed in the magic of San Francisco.

About this experience partner:

Painted Ladies Tour Company is a company that started out as a dream. My wife and I wanted to share the city we both love so much with others in a way that deepen connection with our customers through a unique and intimate experience. Every tour we provide, we share, we laugh, we think, we get silly and serious and create long lasting memories together. Nothing makes us happier than when our customers say we have made their day so special or that they are so happy they chose us. Or that we have gone above and beyond and they have been blown away with the experience we provide. That is why we do what we do. We love our customers and want them to feel energized and amazed after a tour with us and to share this enthusiasm with their friends and family and colleagues. Without our customers, there is no Painted Ladies Tour Company and this why we always put our customers first. Our team consists of people who recognize our vision and share this same enthusiasm and values. Spreading joy, one tour at a time.
