Introduction
Step into the 1960s and tour San Francisco in a tricked-out hippie van on the San Francisco Love Tour. You’ll ride in a small group inside a colorful vintage VW bus decorated with peace signs and groovy art, while your guide (dressed in retro fashion) plays classic tunes from the Summer of Love. The tour covers city highlights – from the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street to the vibrant Haight-Ashbury where hippie culture thrived – all with a playful, nostalgic twist. As you cruise through various neighborhoods, your guide shares both the history and offbeat stories of the city, making it a sightseeing tour that’s equal parts informative and fun, with a heavy dose of old-school San Francisco charm.
