The sights were great and i did enjoy the tour however, I had a bit of difficulty trying to understand the guide and he wasn't able to answer a fair few questions about the local areas. I ended the tour early as I didn't want to go back to LA so stayed longer in San Fran. I alsi hoped there woukd be more people to meet on the tour but I guess it's just the luck of the draw.
