Are Face Masks Required? What measures have you taken regarding Covid -19?
Safe Tour by San Francisco Jeep Tours
We have been working with our staff to train everyone and follow the prescribed best practices and procedures. Our goal is to ensure that we are providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests.
To that end we have daily health checks and temperature screening for all staff members.
Cleaning, Sanitizing & Touchless Transactions
Numerous extra steps are being taken to keep our guests safe during this time. Private group tours are perfect for social distancing. Open air Jeeps with only your private group reduce some of the risks.
All touch surfaces are sanitized between tours.
We will also have hand sanitizer and wipes available on site and on board the Jeep.
Face Masks
Face Masks or Face Coverings are no longer required for vaccinated guests and tour guides. For everyones safety we stongly suggest face coverings for unvaccinated guests while in the vehicle.

- Be worn properly throughout the entire experience
- Fully cover an individual’s nose and mouth and allow the guest to remain hands-free
- Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
- Be secured with ties or ear loops
- Be made of breathable material, either disposable or reusable
- Please note a shirt over the mouth and nose does not qualify as a face covering.

They guide because it is a fun job and they get to meet people from all corners of the world. Similar to service businesses all over the United States, gratuities are a small part of the compensation the staff receives.
If you choose to give your guide a gratuity, it would be much appreciated.
Note: Gratuities are included as part of the pre-paid cost for our private group tours and corporate team building events.

Why should I travel with SF Jeep Tours vs a Hop on Hop off Tour Bus?
Well, obviously, our Jeeps are way more cool than those behemoths! But if that’s not a compelling enough reason, consider this: Hop On Hop Off buses are not allowed in most of the city. That means you will see only major tourist sites rather than the hidden gems that only a Jeep Tour can get to.
Plus you and your group are the only ones aboard the Jeep. Tour at the pace you want.

Yes – We offer amazing Private VIP tours, Multiple Jeep Group Tours and Craft Beer Crawls (in 2021) for company functions and families.
