Overall a great tour through the city but they need to include Castro with Haight Ashbury not either or. Most knowledgeable tour guide! Great stops with wonderful views from Lands End, Golden Gate and Twin Peaks! Would like to ride through all areas not just pass by. (Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Russian Hill) I had a great time! Boat Tour left a lot to be desired.

The tour was useful as we had limited time in SF. Good orientation and nice also to get to the coast for some quality air. The tour guide wasn't great though. Too many generalisations rather than facts, repetition of things as though she'd forgotten what she'd already told us, and bigging up of things that we couldn't get to see from the bus which was just frustrating. Also too rushed at the stop offs; unnecessarily so as the tour finished long before the advertised 4 hours.

It was my first time in San Francisco, and there is no better way to see the city than on this city tour. The Palace of Fine Arts was the best! The bus was clean and on time. I recommend this tour.
