8. Fisherman's Wharf
One of the great pleasures of visiting San Francisco is a stroll along this city’s historic Fisherman’s Wharf. Here visitors can peer down at the fishing crafts riding in the calm water, or pause to watch fishermen mending a net. Most of the boats in view belong to a "third generation" of fishing craft, which have made history at Fisherman's Wharf. From the days of the Gold Rush until the turn of the century, the San Francisco fishing fleet was composed of lateen-rigged sailboats. They were copies of the craft which the Italian fishermen knew in their native land. Green was the prevailing color of the tiny boats, and the name of a patron saint appeared on the hul

I was told this could be a scam. I tried to call the number listed and no one picked up. I also tried to text and again was not successful. I was not able to ride at all. Very dissatisfied!

It was a cold day and overcast so was not able to see any views. Did not enjoy sitting outside on the bench. People come hop on the cable car and stand right in front of you.
The lines are way too long and not worth it when you only have one day in sf to tour

Nightmare! Run around customer support....No one at the trolley knew anything about this tour... No one accepted or even recognized the "tickets". Asked for refund and was denied "unable to issue a refund" suggested booking another plan.... No way!
Buy your trolley ticket at the on site ticket office for a fraction of the price for all day! Google any questions you have about the city and enjoy. Just don't waste your money here.

Not worth money. Instead buy an all day muni pass to ride cable cars. Audio only worked at certain intervals. Directions on how to find the starting point were confusing.
