What is the absolute best and most thorough tour of San Francisco?|103157

Me and my girlfriend are going to visit California/San Francisco mid November. We don_t want to fall into a tourist trap. We need to get the most for our money. Has anyone experienced a really thorough tour of San Francisco for a good price?

Find a Big-Big Hotel with a line of cabs out front. Go the rear of the line. Ask the driver what kind of deal will he give you for say a 3 or 5 hour tour of San Francisco_s _hot-spots_ with a lunch in the middle (and he can come along, but sit across the room, and you_ll pay his bill)

When I drove a cab in St. Louis the rate was $50 to $100 depending on how far and total time (plus how many cab_s were in front of me/or how slow the line was moving)

If the last guy won_t give you a good deal, keep working each cab up to the front one. Naturally, by the time you reach the front the price may be $80 to $140.

But, your getting a great tour from someone who know_s the city like the back of his hand.

Only negative part is if you get a driver who_s been around for 20 or 30 years, he_ll talk your ear_s off (ha-ha). ENJOY THE RIDE !!!!!!!!!
