Awesome San Francisco Experience!!!
2025-05-05
My daughter and I took a trip to San Francisco and weren't sure what to do outside of the conference I was there for. I looked up things to do and what caught our eyes immediately was the Painted Ladies tour. My daughter watched Full House and was dying to see the park and the houses. We booked the tour and had absolutely the best time. From the VW Bus to the sites and of course, Dominic, our tour guide, this was hands down, the best part of our trip. Dominic was great and so informative. He took us all over and pointed out things like where Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead lived. We got out at the Full House Painted Ladies and took pictures at the park and by the houses. We got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and get some great pictures there too. We got to travel Lombard Street like we were on a rollercoaster (scary, but fun). I hope that whoever may read this, if you're thinking about what to do in San Francisco, you really consider this tour. What a great way to see the city and Dominic really made it special.
