7 reviews for San Francisco Movie Tours
I recently had visitors in town, and they wanted to take a tour. The regular tours are so boring, and I happened to come across the Movie Tour. Being the movie buff I am, I suggested it and they thought it was a great idea.
The tour shows you all parts of the city (even more than the regular psuedo cable car tour). There is even a DVD player on board and the tour guide shows you the clips of the movie scenes filmed in SF, while you are driving by or near the place they were filmed. It was awesome!
I think we saw scenes from approximately 70+ movies. And we were able to hop out and take pics at great spots such as: city hall, golden gate bridge, the painted ladies, etc.
Highly recommend this tour for locals and tourists!
(Just be prepared to sit for a good portion of 3-3.5 hours)
Today is my birthday. My husband asked me what I wanted to do today, and I said, "Let's take that movie tour we've been wanting to go on!" It was easy--order & print tickets online, wait at the pickup stop and off you go.
We recently went on a movie tour when we were in Hawaii, but nothing compares to this movie tour in our home town. The husband and I (well, more him..) are big movie buffs, and LOVE watching anything that's filmed in the city (Streets of San Francisco, The Presidio, Princess Diaries).
While waiting for the tour, I dropped my camera and it stopped working. I was SO DISAPPOINTED in myself. But thankfully, my trusty camera phone was still working, so I made due with that.
Beth, our tour guide, and Brian, our driver, was fantastic. She had plenty of movie trivia about San Francisco--so much that the husband and I want to watch (and re-watch) the movies that were shown on this tour. And in all my life in living in San Francisco, I have never been by Fort Point, underneath the GG Bridge. We stopped by there as part of the movie tour and it was breath taking.
The only minuses were not being able to sit with my husband (although they had no control over that...it was a full house on that bus).
This was my first visit to San Francisco and like visiting any large city you can get a little disorientated upon first acquaintance. So I did a little research and decided to make an advanced booking with the San Francisco Movie Tours company - the idea is that you are driven around in a bus and taken to a number of filming location whilst your tour guide narrates and plays the corresponding movies scenes on an LCD TV screen set at the front of the coach.
You'll visit such places as City Hall, the Golden Gate Bridge and follow many of the routes made famous by the film 'Bullet'. We even managed a quick visit to the George Lucas studios, which was a nice little extra. I've always wanted to see where so many great movie scenes were shot (Dirty Harry, Bullet, Vertigo, Mr Doubtfire, etc) and I thought it would be a good way to see San Francisco on my first day in the city. However, it wasn't just good, it was absolutely thrilling and I would highly recommend this intriguing tour to anyone visiting this wonderful city. Whether you're a big movie fan or not, you'll love it!
Not three hours since I took this tour, I feel compelled to write a review. Our tour guide was Beth and our driver was Brian - they did an amazing job of navigating the city and keeping 20+ people engaged for 3.5 hours. The tour was excellent and a great way to see the city! I will be taking this tour again when my mom comes to visit next year. A SOLID 5 star rating and well worth the money!
Excellent way to see San Francisco. They have fabulous trivia and wonderful clips, I just hope they update their movies soon to add some of the more current ones.
It was fun for all! They make stops at Washington Square park for pictures, and under the golden gate bridge at Fort Mason as well as outside the Mrs. Doubtfire house.
Definately suggest it for locals and tourists alike!
Being an avid movie fan who cannot be beat when it comes to obscure trivia, I was extremely impressed with the format and presentation -- while driving around in a large van, an improv actor shows clips from movies at various locations while pointing out the actual locations and also providing inside, little-known info about the movie and/or location. For 3 1/2 hours, I was enthralled and excited to see places like where Jimmy Stewart jumped after Kim Novak in Vertigo, or where Jeff Bridges stood on a building edge in Fearless, or the house from Mrs. Doubtfire. In all, they showed several hundred clips from over 60 movies. We stopped several times to wander around so the 3 1/2 hours went by very quickly.
A great tour of SF movie locations and SF in general. Take it from a local, who rarely goes on tours, this is a worthwhile and loving tour of great SF locales used in movies. A fantastic part of the tour is placing the tour van in the exact location as cars from movie clips shown to simulate the movies. The friendly and informative tour guide easily keeps the tour entertaining. Highly recommended to any movie buff or anyone interested in a lovely tour of the city.
