Travelled to San Francisco last month with a couple of friends and we booked us on the city sightseeing trip & Alcatraz. The company was professional and very helpful. The tour guide we had was a great laugh and really sold the trip. The views were amazing and the ride was smooth.

We have visited the city before but have never used these buses before. They are very frequent and the drivers on the buses are excellent. It is a really good way to get around and see the city and you can just jump on and off as you want.

my wife and i are middle income earners from alberta Canada. I felt the price was great the people were super friendly and helpful. We booked the 48 hour pass that included all tours. We used the tour and got our money's worth. Because they go to all the major attractions we also used it to save on cabs. Of... More

We hopped on the bus and bought the tickets because they were at a good price. She gave us $35 for all loops. We did the downtown loop until Chinatown, but after waiting 30 minutes for the bus to pick up up afterwards, some other tour company gave us a ride back to the pier. We though they were interesting!... More

Was well presented, informative and took full advantage of it! Big hello to Jon T(the big bloke who runs the golden gate tour) and Calvaleigh!

With limited time, we found this service gave us a chance to see the major areas of interest. There were 4 separate lines, and we managed a trip across the Golden Gate, plus tours of the popular areas like Haight Ashbury, Alamo Square (the Victorian houses), etc. It was cold and foggy part of the time, but we stayed on...

The tour guides were very fun and had a lot of great tips. Tour guides Dom and Thaddeus were a ton of fun with lots of jokes. Betsey was really entertaining and you could tell she loved her job! Lisa gave great tips on how to avoid long lines on the cable car and how to get discounted tickets through... More

We booked into the Golden Gate and Sausalito trip which was fantastic. The main intention was to see and drive over the Golden Gate which we did and then the bus drops into the picturesque town of Sausalito which again was fantastic. The hop on hop off service is great and allows you to explore the area even greater. Our... More

I recently purchased the downtown loop ticket as part of a date, and was very unimpressed with the experience. Like other customers, we had a very tough time recognizing their busses. While waiting at one of the stops described on the website as the "corner of Fultin/Larkin," a clunky double decker with squeaky brakes stopped a full half block shy... More

We had a really nice time on this city tour. Our driver Ken was great driving in the city-it was a smooth ride. Our tour guide Chris was really funny and he was very knowledgeable about San Francisco. He also gave a lot of insight about things to do in the different neighborhoods of the city that are cheap or... More
