What To Expect

San Francisco

Ride in comfort before you float the bay as you tour the city’s top attractions, on this San Francisco City tour. Our city insider guide goes way beyond a “hop-on, hop-off” experience to deliver a fully-narrated San Francisco sightseeing adventure.

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre

Stop #1 – Palace of Fine Arts After a morning pickup at one of two convenient San Francisco locations, your city tour will begin on San Francisco’s waterfront in the popular Fisherman’s Wharf before rolling through the Marina District on your way to your first stop. At the lovely and hinstagrammable Palace of Fine Arts, you will have the chance to stop and photograph the historic building, grounds, and stunningly beautiful lagoon.

Golden Gate Bridge

Stop #2 – Golden Gate Bridge Continue to the most iconic stop at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center

Spend 10-15 minutes at a perfect vista point taking photos and creating memories.

Lands End

Stop #3 – Land’s End Overlook The next stop on your San Francisco City Highlights tour will be the historic Land’s End where you can stretch your legs while overlooking Sutro Baths and the Pacific Ocean coastline.

Sutro Baths

During the stop at Lands End check out the Sutro Baths which was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California. Built in 1896, it is located near the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and Sutro Heights Park. The facility burned down in June 1966 and is now in ruins within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.

Golden Gate Park

Later, you will be blown away by the beauty of Golden Gate Park as you ride past Dutch windmills, Queen Wilhelmina’s tulip garden, the bison paddock, and old redwood and eucalyptus groves.

Golden Gate Park Windmills & Tulips

The Dutch Windmill is the northern of two functioning windmills, on the western edge of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It was completed in 1903, and placed on the San Francisco Designated Landmark list on December 6, 1981.

Bison Paddock

Longtime pasture with a grazing herd of American bison, cared for by the San Francisco zoo.

Haight-Ashbury

Next, we’ll take you through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, where you can see some of San Francisco’s famous Victorian homes, known for their iconic architecture.

Twin Peaks

Stop #4 – Twin Peaks Fog-permitting, the next stop on this tour gives you a birds-eye-view of the whole Bay Area from atop Twin Peaks. Here, you’ll get an amazing panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, Mount Diablo, the whole Bay and more from the viewpoint sitting 1,000 feet above sea level. To say it’s breathtaking would be an understatement!

Our driver and tour guide is informative and friendly. The tour took 4 hours with 4 stops (the stop is short for 10-15 minutes only)

Thanks for your review. Our San Francisco city tour is described as an overview, making stops at four or five key locations that visitors really enjoy. This seems to work out best for our guests who typically do an Alcatraz Prison tour in the afternoon. Please contact our guest services team if you have any further questions or comments.

Booked this though our travel agent. Pickup and dropoff point short walk from our hotel. Coach with multiple stops around the city for a couple of hours. Unfortunately we didnt see much of Golden Gate Bridge due to fog, but no-one can help the weather. Stopped at many places for information and photos. Friendly helpful guide. Well worth it

Tour guide Michelle was very knowledgeable but has no personality. She was reluctant to take questions and used no humor or personal anecdotes.
