I have only given the transportation a 1 as there was no transport, the office was in walking distance from our hotel. This whole experience 10/10 the car has a built in satnav and takes you around the city which was so helpful. We seen so much of the city and got to experience driving around in America!

Excellent way to see San Francisco under your own control. Red route was more relaxing and fantastic views. Blue city route a bit harder and requires much more concentration but overall really enjoyed the experience. Staff really helpful and made the experience easy for us. Would really recommend as a great way to see the sights 😊
