More Training Needed
TriciaB
, Jul 2021
We had a tour guide who appeared to just be getting started (there was a second person with her who appeared to be a part of the training process). Shortly into the tour, the first guide asked the trainer to take over, which she did for the remainder of the morning. My low rating is more a reflection of my disappointment in the tour company rather than the guides themselves. They seemed to be doing the best they could with a challenging situation. The guide-in-training obviously needed more time to learn how to drive a bus of this size(constant tapping on the accelerator made for a very jerky ride) and to commit the tour path to memory.
I have nothing but respect for the difficulty of a job like this....managing a bus full of people, San Francisco traffic, and streets, all while keeping up a steady stream of interesting information must be TOUGH! The tour company should make sure that their drivers/guides have all of the training they need before sending them out.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Thanks for your feedback, it is very important to us. Part of our 8-week training program involves having a training manager coaching a new driver/guide. Bonita has twelve years of safe bus driving experience and is learning the "guiding" skills. Rest assured that she will continue to have supervision until she has mastered the full tour guide skill set to our satisfaction. If you would like to talk about this further, call me at (858) 245-5442.

too few stops with too little time
gaiyan z
, Dec 2019
There are only three stops, and each stop is only 20 minutes. The total tour hour is only three hours. The guide could have given more time to each stop or have more stops.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Thanks for your commentary about our City tour. At the moment we make 4 stops -- at the Palace of Fine Arts, the Golden Gate Bridge, Land's End (Sutro Baths/Cliff House) and Golden Gate Park-- on our 4-hour tour. We will look at the possibility of adding an additional stop in the future. Thanks, again.
