Begin your sightseeing at Fisherman’s Wharf, one of the city’s most vibrant waterfront neighborhoods. Visit Pier 39, meet the famous sea lions and enjoy lively coastal attractions. From the open‑top deck, take in panoramic views as the bus travels along the Barbary Coast, the Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Union Square, City Hall, North Beach, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Marina District and more. Wander through Chinatown’s bustling streets and sample delicious cuisine, or shop at Union Square’s luxury stores. Ride up to Nob Hill—one of San Francisco’s most distinguished hilltop districts—where the historic California Street cable car line passes grand hotels and elegant streets.

The highlight of the tour is the crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge. As you travel across its 1.7‑mile span, enjoy breathtaking views of the bridge, Alcatraz Island and the city skyline. Hop off at South Vista Point for close‑up views, or continue to North Vista Point for the perfect photo opportunity—or even walk across the bridge high above the bay. Along the Civic Center, admire City Hall, the Opera House and Symphony Hall, or visit the Asian Art Museum, Public Library and War Memorial. Stop at the Palace of Fine Arts—its neoclassical rotunda and peaceful lagoon make it one of the city’s most photographed spots—or hop off in the Marina District to stroll along Crissy Field’s waterfront promenade with sweeping bay views.
