Patrick was our tour guide, he was friendly and very knowledgable as he took us around San Fran and the surrounding areas. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore the city, especially if its a short trip, this tour packed a lot in, but didn't feel rushed. Felt safe and covid guidelines were followed.
