We enjoyed this day and it was run on time considering there were 100s tourist trying to get tickets for the same day. We did not have time for hop on hop off

The Big Bus tour of San Francisco was great with very informative information and the tour of Alcatraz was superb. Unfortunately our schedule did not allow us to spend extended time on "The Rock".The only downside of our sightseeing experience was the mechanical condition of the bus. The brakes on this particular bus were metal on metal and screeched every time that we came to a stop. Heads would turn and people would stare. We had concerns on the stopping ability, especially on some of the San Francisco streets. In addition the squealing brakes made it difficult to hear the audio recording and took away from the experience.

Great way to see the city and good to get the Alcatraz tickets since they often sell out. One negative is that we couldn’t select the time to go to Alcatraz. Boats leave every 30 minutes and you’re gone for a good 2 hours. Our time was 11:30, so there was no time before to take advantage of the bus. We had to do a rushed bus tour from 2:30-5:30, so we saw the sites but didn’t have time to hop off and explore. Considering the cost of $150 per person you should provide a couple of options, early morning or late afternoon.

Thank you for your review of Big Bus San Francisco. I am sorry to hear you had a rushed bus tour. Our bus tickets are valid for 24 hours from point of redemption. The bus portion of the tour does not need to be on the same day as your Alcatraz tour.
