Reviews

I liked this tour, we were able to see a lot of the city in one day. A far as our tour guides, the first tour guide we had was very funny, very interesting and pointed out every little detail. He did a great job. However, our second tour guide spent the majority of the time texting someone on her phone and not giving us information about what we were passing.

Christine L., United States, 12-2008

One of your tour guides is very knowledgeable and conscientious. Her name is Theresa.

thanh h., United States, 11-2008

great way to see the city!

Patti G., Canada, 11-2008

well organized, will come back again

Vladimir C., United States, 11-2008

The double decker bus tour of San Francisco was excellent, many facts and highlights that you would otherwise have to read a manual of some sort to find out about. Interesting and well worth it. I have already recommended it to other friends who live in California.

Martha C., United States, 11-2008

Me and my family enjoyed the tour, but we were kind of lost on the schedule of the buses.

Fabiola T., United States, 08-2008

I would recommend this to any person, couple, or family that is visiting San Francisco and don't want to have to rent a car. The Golden Gate loop was the best one.

Cindy W., United States, 07-2008

It was a good, detailed tour of the city of San Francisco. It's fun to sit back in the open air of the double-decker bus and let someone else do the driving and then also give you interesting facts about the sites.

Terrie V., United States, 07-2008

Great activity for seeing the city. Tour guide injected too many of his personal opinions. He came across as very resentful of anyone wealthy.

Elaine C., United States, 06-2008

The combo tour was well worth the price. The Alcatraz add on was great.

Francis E., United States, 06-2008

My husband and I were only in the San Francisco area for a couple of days. It was our first visit there, and we were mostly interested in the Alcatraz tour. It was phenomenal. As a bonus, our daughter booked the Double Decker bus and we are very glad she did. We saw more of the city than we would have if we hadn't gone on the bus, and it was very informative and fun. Our only problem? We didn't take more pictures! The value of the Alcatraz tour, and the Downtown and Golden Gate bus passes are more than worth the price. If you're in the area for a short amount of time, the tour is definitely something to consider!

Karen S., Canada, 04-2008

It was very informative, and fun.

Shakeel D., United States, 04-2008

It was an adventure into history and I highly recommend it.

Kelly C., United States, 03-2008

Very good way to see the city. Tour guides were informative. Night tour of Victorian homes was most informative. Tour buses were consistently on schedule and easy to "hop on/hop off".

Carey S., United States, 12-2007

It was easy to find our meeting point, and overall, I feel that they took us to enough places. I do feel that we missed out on Chinatown. I was under the impression that we would go through it, but instead, they just pointed to an oriental style entrance to a street and said "that's Chinatown up ahead." Our tour guide tried to be funny, but he really wasn't. Our biggest problem though, was that when we arrived at 2:00 P.M. to check in for our tour, the two girls at the desk gave us all of our tickets and wrote the times for the Golden Gate tours on the back of the tickets. There was a tour at 9, 11, 12:30, 1:30, and 4. Clearly we had missed the first 4. So the following day, we came back at 11 for that tour, only to find out that the only tours that day were at 9 and 4. We had missed the first one obviously, and we couldn't stay for the 4 P.M. tour, so we couldn't take the tour that we had paid money for.

Mark W., United States, 10-2007

We had a great tour, our tour guides were very experienced in their commentary of San Francisco. Well worth the experience. We would recommend it to other people traveling to San Francisco.

Diane & Chris D., Australia, 09-2007

Nice tour, good to do when you are only a few days in the town. Very good way to see all the hotspots and learn about the town! Very good, comfortable and clear.

Cornelia S., Netherlands, 09-2007

Booking process was straightforward and easy, as was the printing process. Alcatraz tour was excellent, and as per described. Golden Gate bridge tour + Downtown tour on the buses were informative and entertaining.

Andrew C., United Kingdom, 08-2007

Great experience and best way to see and get to know a city; I can only recommend this company.

Thomas M., Switzerland, 08-2007

We entertained family from Chicago, Il. We purchased 2 City Loop tours on the double decker bus, as well as the Alcatraz tour. The two days we spent in San Francisco exceeding our expectations. The staff that checked us in were professional and helpful and the tour guides were informative while making it fun for our kids. Thank you!

Theresa K., United States, 08-2007

The tour and visit to Alcatraz were excellent.

Mark G., United Kingdom, 07-2007

Th Alcatraz tour is excellent - very professional tour guides, clear instructions for boarding the boat, good information on the island - in the displays, film, and prison. The park rangers are very helpful. The bus tours were okay, although two of the loops only have limited times to join, and the information from the tour guides was less informative than on some tour buses I have experienced. It was hard to find the tour start points.

Carrie R., United States, 07-2007

Thanks

Bev & Duncan W., New Zealand, 04-2007

Overall the quality was good. Good value for the money.

Douglas B., United States, 04-2007

It was Great!!!
