City Tours
Discover the Best of the Bay Area
A San Francisco city tour by private car lets you see the city at your own pace, with a professional chauffeur handling the hills, the traffic and the parking. Elite Blacklane offers hourly service in sedans, SUVs and Sprinter vans, so the route, the stops and the time at each one are yours to decide.
Why take a private San Francisco tour
San Francisco is compact, but its sights are scattered across steep hills, and parking near most of them is hard to find. On a private San Francisco tour the car drops you close by and is there when you come back. You are not tied to a bus timetable, and you can skip what does not interest you. That freedom is the reason to choose a San Francisco city tour by private car.
A San Francisco city tour by private car: sample route
You set the route. Here is one order that works:
- Union Square and the downtown streets
- Fisherman's Wharf and the waterfront
- The Golden Gate Bridge, with a stop at a viewpoint
- Golden Gate Park and the ocean beyond it
- Oracle Park and the bayfront on the way back
Tell your chauffeur where you want longer, and where a photo from the window is enough.
Golden Gate Bridge tour
A Golden Gate Bridge tour is more than a drive across. The views change from each side, and the light changes through the day, so it helps to have a car that can stop at one viewpoint, cross, and stop again. Fog is common, and with your own vehicle you can go when it lifts.
Muir Woods and Sausalito day trip
North of the bridge, a Muir Woods and Sausalito day trip pairs old redwoods with a waterfront town in a single outing. Check the park's own visitor rules before you go, then book enough hours for the drive, the walk among the trees and an unhurried lunch by the water in Sausalito.
Bay Area sightseeing tours with a chauffeur
A Bay Area sightseeing tour with chauffeur service can reach well past the city. Berkeley and Oakland are across the bay, Palo Alto and the Silicon Valley campuses are a drive south, and the Napa and Sonoma wineries are to the north. For wine country, see our Napa Valley wine tour. For how hourly bookings work, see chauffeur service.
Book your private tour
A couple or a group of three fits a luxury sedan or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Families and groups of up to 6 fit in a Cadillac Escalade SUV, and a Mercedes Sprinter van takes up to 12. Compare them on the fleet page.
