Explore San Francisco's best landmarks on a Big Bus open-top double-decker. Immerse yourself in the city's history and visit sights like Fisherman's Wharf, Museum of Modern Art, Embarcadero, and more.

This private tour takes 2½ hours. You'd barely notice the time as it's less walking and more fun facts and conversation so you never get tired or bored. The tour goes through all of the Downtown San Francisco: Chinatown, Financial District (there be buried ships!), Embarcadero. We talk City's history, the Gold Rush, influential women, buried ships under the buildings, current affairs, tips and tricks to the city and many many more! Minimum 6 people per tour.

I craft one four-hour adventure each morning just for the small group and unique goings on in the City that day. The itinerary is open - we will always stop at San Francisco’s classic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks and typically roll through neighborhoods like North Beach, Pacific Heights, Haight-Ashbury, Castro, and the Embarcadero. We will also leave big buses behind and may explore street-art alleys in the Mission, mosaic stairways in the Sunset, the laid-back vibe of the Presidio, our Beaux-Arts City Hall, famous “Painted Ladies” at Alamo Square, or go down the real crookedest street in San Francisco (not Lombard). It all depends on what's best just that day. It's a long morning, so mid way through we will stop at a local market where the group can get a quick lunch and do some local people watching. We will finish in the Fisherman's Wharf area in the early afternoon. If your afternoon plans take you elsewhere, we can find a mutually convenient end point.

Enjoy a guided 3 hour city tour which can be customized to suit your preferred locations. Our standard tour includes stops at the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, The Embarcadero, Golden Gate Park and more. If you have a particular route or attractions that you wish to visit, we would be more than happy to help customize your tour to include those or provide suggestions based upon your tastes.
