The younger generation (from England) on our bus arrived drunk and was extremely loud and obnoxious. We could not even hear our tour guide speak. The tour guide did nothing to rectify the situation. After the wine tour, these same people were even drunker and one needed to get a garbage bag from the tour guide to throw up. It was the bus ride from hell. Other people on the bus had to tell this young crowd to quiet down. I would appreciate an allowance being made and charged back to my credit card. The bus driver should have intervened

Great way to see San Francisco! The hop-on hop-off bus made it easy to visit the main attractions, and the views were amazing. The staff were friendly and the whole experience was convenient and enjoyable. Definitely recommended for first-time visitors.
