Wiley was great. Fun to learn about movie mistakes, extras pay, and other tidbits about the movies. Loved the comparative video technique with actual site in San Francisco.

I was visiting San Francisco for a girls getaway and needed a fun activity for a few hours and definitely Wylie delivered. He was knowledgeable and funny, we visited fun spots where movies were filmed and the experience was fantastic.

Excellent tour - as advertised, the tour is a well-organized drive around most of the city hitting many, many movie sites - well-narrated with video clips of the movie scene shown on large screen on the van (15 people max) - about a three hour tour with convienent rest stops. A great way to tour the city with a very friendly knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended

This was an amazing tour! I kicked off my trip with this tour and seeing how many movies have been made here and watching the clips as we passed by was awesome! Met some great people and the photo stops were a must!
