It is close to Ghirardelli square so if you are in the area it is a good picture opportunity.

Cable cars are really beautiful from the outside, but it's too crowded inside, so you can just can't enjoy the trip at a fantastic place like SF. 6 bucks a bit much for that...

Loved the actual riding of the cable cars, didn't like the over hour wait in line.

We loved the tour all over the city. Well worth the money. Our driver knew his way around town. He didn't waste any time. We were able to stop to take photos at two different sites. Best thing we did our whole vacation.
