First timers to SFO ..must book Hop on and Hop off plus Night tour. - We booked a 2 Day Hop on Hop off plus Night tour experience in SFO. Enjoyed the commentary, the Day route gave great insight into the stops we would choose later to hop off at and explore. Professional tour staff. The service operates every 15 minutes so you. never felt the time waiting was annoying. Downloading the App is very helpful for extra bits of info like specific address stops and how far away bus is. We were so impressed that we will do same experience in Chicago and London. The Night tour was crazy cold on the Top open air but super fun.

Nice collection of stops for the Big Bus - The Big Bus red route seemed to cover a nice collection of sights around the SF area with stops at the Wharf, Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge among many others. The favorite was crossing over the bridge on the other side to take scenic pictures of the bridge and the skyline along with Alcatraz. We rode the first trip all the way through, with only one hop off after we got over the bridge, which took about 2.5 hours. The app allows you to see where you are and where all the buses are located so you can estimate how long you'll wait for the next bus if you hop off. Another favorite was the blue route bus which is a non-stop one from the starting point to Treasure Island via Bay Bridge which had some great scenic picture opportunities on the other side of where you were on the red route after crossing Golden Gate. However, this side had the sunset added to your pics. Highly recommend stops at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge and the park, and Treasure Island (Blue route).

San Francisco - Brilliant trip around San Francisco. If you choose to go across the Golden Gate, wear something warm as it’s very windy and cold.

Great with an asterisk - We saw great sights and really enjoyed the hop on hop off flexibility. Once we got the requisite cable car ride taken care of, this tour made it very easy to get to the spots that we wanted to see. The buses were frequent and easy to find, once we knew which bus to take. The only negative I’ve got is that we spent over an hour looking for a bus that said “Skyline” on it and saw none, though we saw tons of the “Big Bus”. Finally, out of desperation, I stepped on a Big Bus to ask if they knew where we could find a Skyline bus and he said “that’s us”! Perhaps this was just tourist ignorance on my part if it would have been nice to have all that clearly explained prior. We would do it again now that we know. After a lot of world travel, SF has quickly taken a Top 5 spot as one of our favorite cities!

Not happy. - We purchased the 2 day tour AND the night tour. When we showed up for the NIGHT tour, we were put on the wrong bus and ended up getting off half way through and had to pay an Uber to get back to our hotel. What a waste of time plus the cost of an Uber. Not happy.

Very good service - Everything was great. Staff very friendly. In the sum better than expected. Good value for money. The only downside is that they run only one circuit so you cannot really make changes to the order you visit the city. The last bus ran at 17:30, later than advertised. That saved our day, thank you.

Do the Big Bus instead - If I could do it over again, I would have gone with the Big Bus Tours. This company does not answer its phone (I was trying to get a time table). We were never sure when our bus would show us...it was always very late...and the last bus starts at 4pm, so you really don't have any time to get off and enjoy anything. One of the drivers talked so fast we had no idea what he was saying, and also ran many red lights...very unsafe.

EVERYTHING OF POOR QUALITY - Bad service. The buses are very old and dirty. The drivers are poorly educated and drive with one hand, so they can hold the microphone, where they keep giving details of the places where they pass. As I do not have knowledge of English, I had to download an app and buy an earphone to be able to hear in Portuguese, but still the experience was bad, because the route of the bus did not hit with the information of the app. At the stop at Fisherman's Wharf, we need to change a vehicle - which stopped waiting for more passengers. I had already read about the BIG BUS TOUR service that is a good company, but as the Union Square point serves the two companies, I ended up being fooled and buying the pass from this garbage from SIGHTSEEING TOURS. Do not make the same mistake!!!!!!!!

Not worth it - This was a waste of our time and money. We used it for maybe an hour the first day never used it the second day. When we got off the cruise ship, we had to walk over three blocks to turn in our tickets even thought there was a stop right where the cruise ship docked. We ended up using Uber which took us right to where we wanted to go
