Many flows we encountered while using this service: Guides that just tell bad jokes about shops and lack of any historical or important info about the city; one of the buses broke while the tour and they just let us there to see by ourselves how we can get back; late for their stops. Bad service overall. The major issue... More

We gave them a try on day one, and the driver was in such a hurry to quit that day, he eliminated the stop we wanted to use. "We should have asked!" NO, we don't know the city and they should have taken the full route or advised us of the change. They close down kind of early for tourists... More

I have done bus tours in many cities all around the world, they are an excellent way of getting your bearings and learning certain things. They are not good for getting good photos, that I have always known this. I reckon they get most of their business because they park up in front of Macy's - and because you don't... More

I was in San Francisco for a couple of days, in Union Square shopping when I saw the tour buses. I got onto the one called "deluxe" and it was $29 for 2 days. I had no idea what a great time I was going to have. The ticket seller explained all my options to me, as far as seeing... More

My friends & I has such a wonderful time on our San Francisco Tour. The young ladies name is Jennifer & she was very helpful and was very informative on questions we asked her. The driver's name was Kurk & he explained a lot of the historical sites that we went by. I can say it was one of my... More

My husband and I accidentally got on this tour, we meant to take a tour with a different company and since the buses look the same, we accidentally got on this bus. It was terrible. They say they come by every half an hour, they don't. We waited at two different stops for over half an hour and the bus... More

I was travelling around San Francisco alone and thought that a hop on- hop off tour would be a great way to see the sights. Over the 48 hour period I travelled on 4 different busses and found all 4 drivers to be really entertaining as well as being knowledgable about the sights. One of the employees pointed out a... More

1. The first driver we got kept "joking" about the Golden Gate Bridge toll fare! He mentioned no less than 5 times throughout the hour that a volunteer was "needed" to pay the $6. For this, they would get a "picture with the toll booth guy" and a "receipt that says 'Golden Gate Bridge!'" I'm pretty sure he was joking...right?... More

I purchased the two day hop on, hop off option. These buses leave union square every thirty minutes. I was staying in union square- how better to see the city. Yes, the bus drove through the city but the driver didn't offer too much commentary. The driver mainly pointed out "historic" restaurants like the "Cheesecake Factory." "That's right ladies and...
