Got the 48hour pass for $50, and did the 4 tours. Parts overlap, but nor a problem. Had Lisa take us over the golden gate bridge and through to sausalito. She was absolutely excellent. This was the best of the 4 tours imho. Good way to get your bearings and get a quick introduction to virtually all the major sights.... More

Steve's tour of Golden Gate and Sausalito was an excellent introduction to San Francisco. We only had 2 days in town and wanted to make the most of our limited time in Northern California. We thoroughly enjoyed our 90 minutes with Steve who provided an entertaining tour. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is considering taking a bus... More

In every city that we have visited in the USA we have taken at least a two day pass on a hop on hop off bus. There are eight to choose from in San Francisco and this is the only one to go to Sausalito. Our first driver was Steve who was really fantastic and while entertaining, while also informative...

After this wonderful winetasting day we had no cash to tip Lance and I am deeply sad about that because he deserved not just a monetary tip but a real, heartfelt tip. Amazing guide, with a clever, refreshing humour, capable, like the very good teachers at college, of teaching you a lesson of history in a fun way, so you... More

We took the trip from SF over the Golden Gate to Sonoma Valley for a half day wine tour. Lance was our guide and he was great - kept us laughing and loads of interesting commentary along the drive - he clearly knows his stuff. On one of the stops he made an effort to get chatting to each group... More

Great way to see the city. Even though it was cold on the open top it was still fantastic to sit up there and see so much of San Francisco. We didn't get off the first time round, just made a note of where we wanted to get off the next day. Did the evening trip as well. We couldn't... More

We have used City Sightseeing tours many times in many other cities around the world but I think this is the worst one we have come across. The buses don't really go that frequently despite the clear demand for it e.g. the green loop to the Golden Gate Park. Unlike some of the other cities these have tour guides on... More

Booked their 48 hour package tour. The night tour is not a night tour but an evening tour. They took us into some different areas than the day tours. It began at 7:00, finished at 8:00, too early for the lights of the city to be on display,especially the Bay Bridge. We were dressed warm enough but they needed to... More

There seem to be a lot of companies organising trips and your travel agent will book them for you so you may not be sure who the organiser is. We found that our Deluxe City Tour was booked through this firm on Leavenworth Street. All in all, the drivers and guides are excellent and the drivers very entertaining so well... More

We took the tour with our driver, Betsy from Boston, out to the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito. Betsy was great. She was really knowledgeable about San Francisco and had a lot of extra anecdotes toshare in addition to the standard tour. She also had a great sense of humour and went the extra mile for good photos. The tour... More
