San Francisco: Grand City Tour by Bus
About this experience
Take a four-hour guided tour of San Francisco. At each stop, you can get off the bus to see the city's landmarks and along the way listen to narration that highlights San Francisco in a new way.
This citywide journey includes photo opportunities at the Golden Gate Bridge, Land's End, and the Palace of Fine Arts. A key stop is Twin Peaks, where you'll get a 360º view of the city from 1,000 feet up. Upgrade your tour with a bay cruise or a visit to the Aquarium of the Bay for a full land-and-sea experience.
In Golden Gate Park, see seasonal flower displays, look for bison, and view windmills over the Pacific. Learn about San Francisco's history, from Native American origins to the gold rush, as you explore the Barbary Coast. See the Victorian Homes in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
The tour ends along San Francisco's waterfront, with views of Alcatraz Island and the San Francisco Bay.
