Description
Let our friendly and knowledgeable driver-guide pick you up from your downtown or airport area hotel in our air-conditioned motor coach for your comprehensive city tour of San Francisco. Fisherman's Wharf area hotel guests will meet at Fisherman's Wharf.
Start your tour at the world famous Fisherman's Wharf. Then, cruise past the Hyde Street Pier, National Maritime Museum, Ghirardelli Square & Lombard Street. Traveling through the Marina District, pass the Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio of San Francisco as the Golden Gate Bridge comes into view.
Enjoy an approximate 10-minute photostop at Vista Point to capture pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge! Follow the rugged coastline west for gorgeous views of forested parklands & upscale neighborhoods.
Drive past the famous Cliff house and Ocean Beach before entering San Francisco's playground, Golden Gate Park. As you travel through the park, see the recently restored Conservatory of Flowers and the Japanese Tea Garden.
Then, travel through the Sunset District's orderly row houses to see the district's most prominent landmark, the red Sutro Tower. Turning onto a winding boulevard, climb to one of the highest points in the city, Twin Peaks, for a panoramic view of San Francisco (10-minute photostop, weather permitting).
Journey past Victorian homes, vibrant shopping streets, the Civic Center with City Hall, Opera House, Library & Asian Art Museum, Financial District, Chinatown & North Beach before returning to Fisherman's Wharf or your hotel.
Please Note: Due to weather conditions and traffic congestion, your driver-guide may reverse the above itinerary, traveling first to Twin Peaks then Golden Gate Park and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Please Note: Roundtrip transportation from downtown & San Francisco airport area hotels available (pickup at airport hotels is available for the morning departure only).
If your hotel is located within 2 blocks of our departure point, you will meet us directly at the Wharf.
A luxurious, air-conditioned motor coach tour allows you to sit back and relax, while your driver-guide shares with you the history and highlights of this famous city.

It was a complete, interesting, relaxing , and fun way to see San Francisco. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. The pickup from the hotel and return to the hotel made it so nice as the driver continued to tell us things that we hadnt heard on the tour. Your drivers are very skilled, articulate and intelligent people who love showing off San Fran. Most of all I felt safe with them. I will recommend this tour to friends going to San Fran. The bus was clean and cool and I liked the stops to stretch our legs and take pictures.Thank you for all the effort it takes to provide visitors with such a nice experience.

Golden Gate bridge from the lookout. When you walk on the bridge it shakes when buses pass!

Twin Peaks Lookout
The skyline is spectacular from Twin Peaks. Photos can't do it justice. It is apparently often foggy in summer, but in spring it was a glorious day.

San Francisco Painted Ladies
The Painted Ladies Victorian houses looked beautiful with the skyline contrasted behind. The shoe garden nearby was quirky.
