1 Day Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour
Start your tour at Fisherman's Wharf, one of the most vibrant places in the city.

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, Golden Gate Park 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. Take a stroll around Alamo Square to see the world-famous Painted Ladies Victorian houses, also known as "Postcard Row". In Haight Ashbury you will be taken back in time to the “Summer of Love”, surrounded by colorful murals and fine art dedicated to San Francisco’s hippie culture.
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 at 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. Escape to Golden Gate Park to explore one of the largest urban parks in the world. Stop at its popular museums and attractions, the California Academy of Sciences, the Conservatory of Flowers, and the de Young Museum, or enjoy the long hiking trails, bike paths, lakes, waterfalls, and much more.

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
