What you’ll do

While you’re in the city, join a local San Francisco host who can’t wait to explore the city with you, and help you discover a taste of the real San Francisco in between your meetings, before your flight, or during your free evenings!

Just let us know how much time you have, and what you’d like to spend your time doing. If you’ve got an evening to spare, you could join your local San Francisco host and enjoy some drinks in a rooftop bar in the hip Mission District, or go one better and head to Fort Funston where you can watch a sunset from cliffs plunging into the ocean. 

Instead of eating alone, you could discover San Francisco’s incredible cuisine after your day of meetings; let your host introduce you to their city’s food truck culture at Off the Grid at Fort Mason, a cool gathering of food trucks, discover fusion foods in Chinatown (which also happens to be the birthplace of the fortune cookie!) or Latin flavors in the Mission. Beats room service!

If all you have is a few hours in between meetings, your local San Francisco host will create an experience that suits the time you have available, and the area you’re in; be it visiting Pier 39 or getting that all-important glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    We had informative and entertaining 4 hours with Giacomo, who showed us typical sights as well as special places only known by locals. His insight view of a young Italian student was very interesting. Thanks and all the best for you, Giacomo! Wanda and Erwin

    This just might be my favorite guide I have ever booked and I have booked many guides in other countries around the world. Simon was super knowledgable and helped me not only navigate Hong Kong but showed me the best tourist attractions. On top of that showed me all the hidden gems and secret spots. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hong Kong for the first time.
