Top San Francisco Bus Tours

Anja was a wonderful guide! We originally booked this tour with my dad in mind and he ended up not being able to join the trip altogether, but absolutely zero regrets going on without. Anja was funny, knowledgeable, careful driver and patient. Truly a great experience that I would recommend for all ages. Thank you, Anja!!

We booked a Muir Woods and Sausalito trip with Gray Line. Our tour guide( I believe his name was Richard) was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He was an great driver, some of those hairpin turns were very tight! The Muir woods was amazing! The redwoods are huge! Sausalito was a cute little water front town and we had some delicious tacos at a place called Copita. I would highly recommend this tour!

I had a wonderful time on this tour on September 14th. I was assigned a morning tour at Alcatraz, and I’m glad I started off there because its a “heavy” place mentally but I learned so much about the history of the island and the ongoing issues with the US prison system. Then I had a break to get some lunch before meeting up with the tour guide at Fisherman’s Wharf. The van ride was nice and we had a chance to take photos with the Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods was amazing. I did the full 2 mile loop which they advertise as taking 1.5 hours, and even though I’m not in good shape I am a fast walker and I completed it in a little under an hour (there are some stairs in the middle that allowed me down). The driving tour with stop at Palace of Fine Arts and cruising through China Town and Little Italy was cool.

My girlfriends and I had a great experience. It was misty in the city but once we got into the valley it gorgeous weather. Each vineyard and winery were special in their own way. Our last winery was at Madonna Estate Winery which was beautiful, warm and inviting. The size of our group and the smaller size tasting room felt claustrophobic. Otherwise an amazing experience and the perfect way to kick off the vacation!

Our park tour was nothing short of stunning. Derek (our guide) was so knowledgeable and personable that folks were leaving other tour groups to come over and listen in. We saw more than we could have imagined, including climbers on El Cap with the spotting scope he brought along. Highly Recommend!!!

Unique way to see San Francisco. If you are coming from a country that drives on the other side of the road you're in for a treat. Our GPS was playing up and we missed Lombard Street but they were more than happy for us to go back out for free to drive down it. We did it on a Saturday and the traffic was pretty bad. 3 hours was tight and we couldn't see the painted ladies in our allotted time.

Randy was an awesome tour guide. You immediately felt like you had known him for years. Very knowledgeable of SF and its history. He was great at answering everyone's questions and made sure we saw all of the important parts of SF in the short time we were here. The Toyota Sienna was very clean, comfortable and easy to get in and out at stops for all age groups. Randy did mention larger groups go on a shuttle bus but since we had a smaller group we were able to take a van. If you are wanting to see SF in a day you should take this tour.

Goes fast but just the right time with restless kids. Took my 13&16yr old. Three level boat. Top windy but lots of benches to sit (many non English speaking people tried to reserve a few benches for themselves. We just sat down anyhow and ignored the hand waves). But honestly it doesn’t matter because once the boat starts moving everyone stands and looks around and seats open up. They only sell beer, white claw, pop, and snacks only on the bottom level. The white claws they offered were THE BIG ones. $10. All the levels have bench seats with backs to them. The bottom level and second level is all enclosed seating. The speaking of the history part is all automated by speakers. I found it to be very clear but harder to hear on top deck due to wind. Temp today Sept 1, was 70 ,and my teen boys were chilly up top but I liked it. Most people brought light jackets.The beginning and end was windy but near Alcatraz it got substantially less windy probably due to the terrain. The Boat gets very close to Alcatraz which was cool and made for good pics. At the end I didn’t see anyone taking tips or a tip jar out for tips which was also VERY nice because this town is tip happy. It’s WILD. I would do it again. Great time. We did the 530p tour which made it nice for pics as the sun was coming down
