2-Day Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour

Start your tour at Fisherman's Wharf, one of the most vibrant places in the city. Visit the exciting attractions at Pier 39, watch the popular sea lion colony and see many other sights along the waterfront. The open top bus gives you the best views while you drive along the Barbary Coast, the Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Union Square, City Hall, North Beach, the Palace of Fine Arts, Marina District and much more. Snap a picture of Chinatown's 'Dragon Gates' and try their delicious food, or shop at Union Square in many of its luxury stores. Ride up to Nob Hill - one of San Francisco's most distinguished hilltop neighborhoods - where the historic California Street cable car line runs past grand landmark hotels and some of the finest streets in the city.

The highlight of the tour is the ride across San Francisco’s most iconic landmark – the Golden Gate Bridge. While crossing the 1.7-mile span on an open-top bus you will have breathtaking views of the bridge, Alcatraz Island and the stunning skyline. Hop off the South Vista Point right beside the bridge, or continue across to North Vista Point to take your best selfie, or walk across the bridge high above the bay. Enjoy the great views of San Francisco's City Hall, the Opera House and Symphony Hall along the Civic Center. Stop at the Palace of Fine Arts - the stunning neoclassical rotunda set in its own peaceful lagoon, one of the most photographed spots in the city - or hop off in the Marina District and head down Crissy Field waterfront promenade with its sweeping views across the bay.

If you stay on the bus for the full tour, you can see all major sites of San Francisco in 2 hours, but with your flexible 2-day ticket you are free to explore the city at your own pace and hop on and off the bus as often as you like for two days. The tour guides or audio commentary provide fun and informative insights about San Francisco while you enjoy the most amazing views from the open top deck of the Double Decker bus.

Driver was nice but talked loudly while one of the hosts was explaining the wine making process. 2nd winery spoke more about the paintings and how much the owners made than the wine. Transportation was good but overall wasn’t very good value for money.

We did not get a ferry ticket. Ferry is requiring us to pay. How do we get a refund

So much fun! Helped me get an idea of where I wanted to visit, took lots of photos and videos, and going across the Golden Gate Bridge and back was INSANE! Views are incredible. Would recommend 10/10
