Description

Discover San Francisco from the street, the bay, and beneath the evening sky with one flexible sightseeing package.

Use your 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus ticket to explore the city’s most famous neighborhoods and landmarks at your own pace. Take a seat on the open-air upper deck for panoramic views as you travel through San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Hop off whenever you want to explore areas such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square, and Haight-Ashbury, then rejoin the tour when you are ready. Multilingual audio commentary brings the city’s history, culture, architecture, and most recognizable sights to life along the way.

Continue your experience with a 1-hour cruise on San Francisco Bay. Sail along the waterfront, pass beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, and circle Alcatraz Island while enjoying unobstructed views of the skyline, Sausalito, and the surrounding bay.

Your ticket also includes a panoramic Sunset Tour. Relax aboard an open-top bus as the city transitions into evening and see San Francisco’s landmarks illuminated in the fading light.

With three sightseeing experiences and 48 hours of hop-on hop-off access, this package offers a convenient way to experience more of San Francisco without following a fixed itinerary.
