2You get what you pay - City SIghtseeing Bus in San Franscisco - Oct, 2026
Audio was acceptable and the fact that disposable ear plugs were not used was a plus. The buses are not very clean, the front window upstairs was so discoloured and faded it would not make sense to sit up front. Our driver on the way back to Fisherman's Wharf stop took a short cut and cut out 3 stops so he could be on time to off load everyone at that stop. It was about $10 cheaper than Big Bus and now I now why! I would rather pay the extra.
5GREAT SERVICE!! Gave us a ride when other company was very delayed. 🙌
This wasn’t even our bus company, but when our bus company was very slow to get there, they picked us up and took us to the other company’s next stop, gratis. Super service🙌🙌

Beware when sitting on upper level of bus, it’s open air, you can be struck by low hanging branches. Audio was also hard to hear on the upper deck, so you didn’t hear all the presentation. That said the upper deck did allow for much better views of the area’s toured.
1These buses do not run smoothly
This has not been smooth. When we look on the schedule we see specific stops but then the bus doesn’t stop there. It goes someplace else. If this was just one time it might be OK but this is all the time. This is not a good system. If you’re not going to keep your stated stops, you should let people know. As far as I’m concerned, this has been a waste of money. I have done other Viator activities and they’ve always been great. This one was not.
3Hop-On and Hop-Off
The communication about the pickup locations was very poor and vague. We were told China Town, for our first stop. What we were not told was that the pickup point was in front of a specific hotel. We missed the bus, and waited for the second. One hour was wasted. No heads up from driver before being swatted by a tree branch and the speakers on the top did not generate good sound quality. The recording was not synchronized to the land marks as we passed. Finally, if you have to bring up OJ, give his film credit and move on. No need to make tasteless comments. We know his legacy and it is what it is. Driver #2….night and day difference. He did not use a recording, slowed for pictures when he could and told you when to que the camera and when snap. The experience as a whole was good for a tourist and a should do. Next time, however, I’ll choose a different company.
5Had a great time !
Great way to spend a day while visiting San Fransisco! Family loved it.

About San Francisco
San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
