Absolutely loved our first driver Patrick! Had such good energy and had us laughing at every stop. Our second driver wasn’t the best, he was pretty negative about the historical information the recording was telling us and he was drive pretty insane, honking at a lot of cars but overall experience was 10/10. Def worth the money. I’d suggest bringing beanies and thick clothes if you’re riding at the top. Also make sure you grab some food!

I took the 2-day option. The bus went through most of the popular spots and the guide was really good too. I also took the free walking tour of the north beach and chinatown. I personally thank Bianca, our lovely guide, for all the valuable information and fun walking tour experience. I had a few days so this was a great choice for me.

We enjoyed The Market Ferry Building, The Palace of Fine Arts. And Drive across Golden Gate Bridge. Glad we didn’t drive ourselves.

We really enjoyed this tour. You get the headset so no more annoying commentary from a guide, it’s pre recorded and facts only. Bus comes frequently so there were no overlong waits, and the route has all the traditional stops you might want. Only complaint is the guy who sold us the tickets tried to pretend he didn’t know about the buying online discount when he was standing right next to a bus with it plastered on the side. He did give us that rate though, and that’s the most negative thing I have. Don’t regret spending the money at all, it was a good way to see a lot of the city and the buses were clean and the drivers all drove well.

This was the most fun we have had in San Francisco. This trip is well worth the time and the price of the ticket.

We had Doug as a guide and he was phenomenal. Didn’t think I was going to be able to learn so much about Chinatown and still be entertained. Highly recommend.

Great way to see the city to get an overview of where all the landmarks are. We were given brilliant customer service from Lucas on Union Square when booking our tickets.

The bus takes you around most of tue city stopping at key estimations where you can explore even further. The audio tour was very nice stating interesting facts about each place we were driving but or visiting. The drivers were incredibly friendly.

The walking tour with Doug was incredible did the full 2 hours and totally worth it. He made it enjoyable, time passed quickly and learned a lot about the city.

Erica was extremely helpful. Just wish announcements would be made over a microphone instead of plugging in individually.
