What makes San Francisco Guided City Tour a unique experience ?
Ride in comfort before you float the bay as you tour the city’s top attractions, on this San Francisco City tour. Our city insider guide goes way beyond a “hop-on, hop-off” experience to deliver a fully-narrated San Francisco sightseeing adventure.
Stop #1 – Palace of Fine Arts
After a morning pickup at one of two convenient San Francisco locations, your city tour will begin on San Francisco’s waterfront in the popular Fisherman’s Wharf before rolling through the Marina District on your way to your first stop. At the lovely and hinstagrammable Palace of Fine Arts, you will have the chance to stop and photograph the historic building, grounds, and stunningly beautiful lagoon.
Stop #2 – Golden Gate Bridge
Continue to the most iconic stop at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Spend 10-15 minutes at a perfect vista point taking photos and creating memories.
Stop #3 – Land’s End Overlook
The next stop on your San Francisco City Highlights tour will be the historic Land’s End where you can stretch your legs while overlooking Sutro Baths and the Pacific Ocean coastline.
During the stop at Lands End check out the Sutro Baths which was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California. Built in 1896, it is located near the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and Sutro Heights Park. The facility burned down in June 1966 and is now in ruins within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.
Ocean Beach is a beach on the west coast of San Francisco, bordering the Pacific Ocean. The “Great Highway” runs alongside the beach, and the Cliff House and the site of the former Sutro Baths sit at the northern end. The beach is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service.
Later, you will be blown away by the beauty of Golden Gate Park as you ride past Dutch windmills, Queen Wilhelmina’s tulip garden, the bison paddock, and old redwood and eucalyptus groves.
The Dutch Windmill is the northern of two functioning windmills, on the western edge of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It was completed in 1903, and placed on the San Francisco Designated Landmark list on December 6, 1981.
Longtime pasture with a grazing herd of American bison, cared for by the San Francisco zoo.
Next, we’ll take you through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, where you can see some of San Francisco’s famous Victorian homes, known for their iconic architecture.
Stop #4 – Twin Peaks
Fog-permitting, the next stop on this tour gives you a birds-eye-view of the whole Bay Area from atop Twin Peaks. Here, you’ll get an amazing panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, Mount Diablo, the whole Bay and more from the viewpoint sitting 1,000 feet above sea level. To say it’s breathtaking would be an understatement!
Ride through the Civic Center, see City Hall before returning back to your pick up location
