Two Day San Francisco Hop On Hop Off Tour
Get ready for an adventure on this three-route, hop on-hop off tour of beautiful San Francisco. Tour San Francisco at your leisure, stopping at the best spots along the way.
Your comfortable double decker bus will take you to downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and several San Francisco highlights, including Chinatown, Union Square, Barbary Coast, Financial District, the Ferry Building, City Hall, North Beach, Lombard Street, and Pier 39. Be sure to check out Fisherman's Wharf, where you can tour a number of great shops and even see some playful wildlife. Those guests looking to shop even more will be glad to visit Union Square, home to Macy's, Tiffany's, Neiman Marcus, Victoria's Secret and Saks Fifth Avenue.
No voyage to this amazing city is complete without seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. Your double decker bus will stop at North Vista Point, where you can hop off and walk across the 1.7 mile span of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bus continues to the Golden Gate Bridge Park, where you can visit such awesome sights as the Japanese Tea Garden, the De Young Museum, and the California Academy of Sciences. If you continue on this route you will also see the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, Alamo Square, the Civic Center, the Opera House, Union Square, Market Street, Chinatown and more!
Night owls who love scenery and bright lights will be able to take the night loop portion of the San Francisco bus tour. Chinatown offers a picturesque nighttime view with its dragon-crested gate, while Treasure Island, which is a little island between San Francisco and Oakland, provides you with the best views of the San Francisco skyline.
