Pre paid fuel option: Taxe surcharge
Despite the bad reviews all over the internet, because FOX rent a car was offering the best deal, I decided to give them a try. They mainly offer a cheaper price as they are off site compared to all other car rental companies that are accessible via airtrain at the airport, but they offer a free shuttle from the car rental terminal which we had to wait for about 10min which is not bad. At the rental place, I was given the car I selected when I made my reservation through Expedia. The payment was done upon Expedia reservation, and was inclusive of all taxes. They have offered the prepaid fuel option explaining they have a better $/galon compared to other places around the airport which sounded a good idea. All went well during my trip and I’ve returned the car empty and the pre paid option was showing a $133USD in total, except that they added an extra $82,82 USD in taxes, about 27% surcharge that they forgot to mention when they offered the prepaid option deal. This is a scam, never take this option from them. With that extra charge, it would’ve cost me the same to rent directly from the airport with Avis, Budget, …. Please don’t make the same error, do not rent at FOX rent a car.

Good time spent exploring San Francisco
We had a great time as a family thanks to the tour organized especially for us by Ed. Ed knows the city perfectly in every detail and we would never have discovered certain places on our own. He is very pleasant, professional and listens to our desires.

SF city tour
We were lucky to have Sandrine as our tour guide. She was very friendly , fun and knowledgeable . Sandrine arrived on time at our hotel and drove us around the city . Also not having to deal with or wait for people in a larger group also made the experience personal .Sandrine answered all our questions and gave us suggestions on what to do after . We definitely recommend this tour and Sandrine to friends who are planning a trip to SF.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Francisco.
How much does San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option) cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Francisco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Francisco is not rushed.
Is San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Francisco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Francisco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Francisco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Francisco Private Walking Tour with A Guide (Car Option) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Francisco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Francisco?
+
San Francisco packs Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Napa and the bay into day-trip range, which makes booking order matter more than anywhere else in the US. Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead, wine-country vans fill on weekends, and the best food walks in the Mission and Chinatown cap at a dozen people. Our ranking favours small groups and guides who live in the neighbourhood they walk. On Outty we rank every San Francisco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz, Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Francisco?
+
September and October, the city's real summer, once the fog season breaks. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Francisco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
