Discover San Francisco’s many highlights by open-top double-decker bus. Sightseeing, museums, shopping, and restaurants line the route as this fully narrated tour allows you to hop on and off the bus throughout the day at more than 15 of the city’s most popular attractions. The entire loop is approximately two hours in duration, excluding the time you may choose to spend at the attractions. A guided walking tour of Chinatown town is also included which begins and ends at Stop #2 at 1:00pm each day.
Stops serve Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Embarcadero and Union Square -- San Francisco’s premier destination for boutique shopping, high fashion, restaurants, and theater. The Civic Center stop serves the beautiful architectural masterpieces of City Hall, the Asian Art Museum, the Central Library, the Symphony Hall and the Opera House.
Don’t miss Alamo Square's picturesque Victorian row houses and the Haight-Ashbury district -- once the epicenter of the 1960s Summer of Love hippy culture.
The stop at Golden Gate Park serves the California Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea Garden, the De Young Museum, and the Botanic Gardens. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, you’ll see the giant towers, sweeping main cables, and the signature International Orange color.
Returning to the City Center via Presidio Park, there are stops serving the Palace of Fine Arts, Lombard Street, and Pier 39.
The route ends at the ship’s pier on Embarcadero Street, just a short distance from Pier 39, home to the Aquarium on the Bay and a favorite gathering spot for a large population of California sea lions.
