The BEST way to get around.

Belinda_G, Mar 2026

I read the reviews and wasn’t impressed. But I did book for my self my daughter and son in law. It was a Saturday, let me tell you we had the BEST time on the bus. We sat up top and enjoyed the sun and views. I didn’t get our drivers name but he was fantastic. He had a great attitude and was so courteous to every one. My daughter and I kept saying the bus was the best of the day! Very affordable.. The best part was going over the Golden Gate Bridge we thought we were just going to stop and take pictures but we rode over it and stopped for pics! All in all, it was a great way to see the city & the major sight seeing places. It’s a 10 out of 10! Don’t sleep on this one.

Dolores recommends

Dolores_W, Mar 2026

Took 4 different busses over 2 days, and driver commentary ranged from just the recorded version, to lovely and quite informative, to very loud and boisterous, without me being able to actually understand what was being said. So...I greatly enjoyed every ride, but only tipped once.

A Mixed Experience

Richard_R, Jan 2026

The meeting place employee was very helpful in guiding us to the right place for departure. Our first driver played very loud music in between his narration which was also added lots of personal comments in a loud voice. In contrast, the second driver played the recorded narration. Overall, the tour gave a succinct highlight of San Francisco and its key landmarks. For my companion, his first trip to San Francisco, the tour gave a good introduction to San Francisco.

Do not "Hop On" with City Sightseeing San Francisco. "Hop Off" before it's too late. It was a Fiasco.

normarobinson2003, Nov 2025

Paid for 2 persons for 2 days. Used it on day one, Nov. 18th. Before we left, the agents wished us "See you tomorrow, same time, same place." On day two, Nov. 19th, the agents and the tour bus were nowhere to be found at same pick up location. Was later told by a nearby ticket vendor that the tour cancelled out and was not running either that day or the following day. I do not need to write here how devastated we were except for these characters?*&(%#@. I filed a refund claim and am waiting for a favorable response.

Loop Around City

Genaro_A, May 2025

We do this in every city for an overview of main attractions, do whole loop. Then again and get off where we want to explore. Note the times, as it seems to end very early… Worth it !!

Better off walking

Lyndsi_E, Nov 2024

Horrible! The other company had 3 buses come before we got one bus…I was hoping that it was just a one time thing but it literally happened for 2 solid days!!

Good tour

anuen, Sep 2024

First driver focused on too much self promotion. Bulldog and Saggy. Second driver (female driver) that took over at Fisherman’s Wharf was excellent! knowledgeable and funny! She was the reason the rating was higher.

Hop on bus

Willy was so funny. He just kept making jokes and it was hilarious. I was for sure engaged in trip and with him.

San Fransisco Revealed

Shamika_T, May 2024

I Love that there was so much history and knowledge about San Fransisco shared. My third time here & my 1st time learning about the history of SO many familiar streets and areas! Can’t wait to tell my friends.
