Overview

Make the most of your San Francisco trip with our Hop-on Hop-off San Francisco bus tour! Providing you with the flexibility to hop on and off at any of our bus stops across the city, you’ll have the chance to explore the city at your own pace.

The tour begins at Fisherman’s Wharf, one of the most vibrant areas of the city. Visit the famous Pier 39 shopping centre – a shopping centre built on a pier! With a wide selection of shops, restaurants, a video arcade, virtual 3D rides, and much more, there is plenty to see and explore at this hotspot!

Don’t forget to hop off at Chinatown where you can snap a picture of the Dragon gates and enjoy some delicious food! Or continue the tour as we go through North Beach, a lively neighbourhood immersed in Italian heritage. With plenty of Italian restaurants nearby, enjoy a nice meal before exploring the next destination!

The main highlight of this tour is the Golden Gate Bridge – once dubbed as ‘the bridge that cannot be built’ many refer to the Golden Gate Bridge as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. As one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, its tremendous towers and extensive span make this bridge unique. Ensure to take photos of this memorable landmark!

If you don’t want to hop-off at all during the tour and would rather admire the landmarks from our open-top buses, it is best to purchase a standard 2-hour ticket. This can be used once and will allow you to see all the main sights from our bus. If you are looking to hop-off and explore further, choose between the 1-or 2-day tickets (with the option to purchase the night tour).

Night Tour

Enjoy SF at night with our incredible San Francisco night tour. Available to purchase with the 1-day or 2-day ticket, make the most of your day by gaining a unique experience of the city! With stunning views of the city’s skyline, appreciate the vibrancy of the city as it comes alive after dark.

See Chinatown in a new light as we drive through the lit-up lanterns and keep an eye out for the dominating skyscrapers at the Financial District. The highlight of the night tour is the mesmerising Bay Bridge. Take in the astonishing sights of the famous ‘Bay Lights’ as we cross the bridge. With a stop at Treasure Island for you to take photos of the stunning skyline (if the weather allows), you’ll create a memory to last a lifetime!
