Along the way, we will stop and take photos while we share tales of earthquakes that shaped the landscape, industrial shifts from the 1849 Gold Rush to the rise of Silicon Valley, 1960s counterculture, and surprising insights that only a local would know. Whether this is your first San Francisco visit or you’ve lived here for years, you’ll see the city from a new perspective. Book today. Then, sit back and enjoy the ride!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the Vantigo tour?

A: Kids are welcome on the Vantigo tours! There's no strict age limit, but they generally recommend that kids be at least 6 years old to fully enjoy the experience. Just keep in mind that the ride can get bumpy in certain areas, so bring something to keep them entertained if they're younger. Also, kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Q: How flexible is the rescheduling policy for this tour?

A: You can reschedule your Vantigo tour up to 24 hours in advance without any penalty. Just shoot them an email or call. If the weather is bad, they might cancel and offer you a full refund or the chance to reschedule. So, it’s good to keep an eye on the forecast!

Q: What should I wear for the Vantigo bus tour? Is it cold on the bus?

A: Dress in layers! The VW bus can get breezy, especially if you’re cruising along the waterfront. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea. Also, comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be hopping out for photo ops and walking around some districts. San Francisco weather can change quickly, so be prepared!

Thinking of gifting the Vantigo tour! Anyone done it?

So, I’m considering getting the Vantigo VW bus tour for my parents for their anniversary. They love history and the city, but I’m a bit worried if it’ll be worth it. Has anyone experienced this? How’s the vibe and the tour guide? Any advice would be super appreciated!

Vantigo tour feedback?

I just booked the Vantigo tour for next weekend! I’m so stoked but also a bit nervous about the weather. I heard it can get foggy in SF. Any tips on what to expect? Should I be worried about getting stuck in traffic?
