Reviews

Extremely satisfied.

Monica M., United States, 04-2012

Enjoyed every part of the tours

Michael T., United States, 10-2011

bus tour was good all Double Decker's were clean and most guide's were interesting,but one or two seemed more interested in asking for tips when you got off. Alcatraz trip was great and a must when staying in san francisco.

DONNA H., United Kingdom, 09-2011

Best way to get an overview of the city and he main interest points.Enough buses onthe main loop, that avoid a long waiting. However, the last run is at 5pm. That's a bit early.

EMMANUEL B., France, 07-2011

On our first day of a 2 day voucher we had an excellent and very witty guide. The second day we realised that the guides all use the same script but the first guide embellished his script in a very entertaining way. The bus locations were very hard to find and were not clearly indicated on the map we had been given . This made the experience more difficult and more stressful which is unwelcome while on holiday. You could learn a lot from the on-off bus companies in New York. Different coloured buses for different companies, clear street signs and maps. We wasted a lot of time looking for stop locations. Office staff were unhelpful - customers seemed to be an inconvenience.

Jane H., United Kingdom, 07-2011

Most of the tour guides were informative/bus stopped too far from coit tower

Lyn S., United States, 06-2011

rewarding experience. enjoyed the tours very much

Jerome G., United States, 06-2011

Great to have hop on hop off flexibility with buses

Pat E., United States, 06-2011

We used the on/off aspect of the bus extensively. We were able to get around the city with ease. It was well worth the money for the tours.

andrea m., United States, 06-2011

Tour was really good, Alcatraz well organized with plenty of time. City loop buses can be a little late but I suppose the traffic in any large city can cause that to happen. Overall very good value for money.

Gary M., United Kingdom, 04-2011

Doug A., United States, 11-2010

Tour guide (lady with Irish accent) was absolutely excellent! Very impressive. Sound system could have been a bit better. Alcatraz tour - fantastic (self-printed ticket got us straight through with no fuss whatsoever). Without doubt, the 'no mark-up on Alcatraz' was the decision maker

Michael B., United Kingdom, 11-2010

Tour of city was interesting and very valuable upon the day of our arrival to get settled into the city. Tour Guide was helpful and courteous, bus not as clean as it could have been.

Deb H., United States, 10-2010

Double decker tour is an excellent way to visit the city, since public transportation is expensive in San Francisco.

Gilda L., Mexico, 08-2010

a one day pass would be sufficient as the guide says exactly the same thing every day

sean k., Ireland, 08-2010

We enjoyed listening to the tour guides and hearing about the history at different points of interest in San Francisco. We liked being able to stop and get off at various points and to get back on when we wanted.

Nancy H., United States, 06-2010

Liked price when coupled with Alcatraz tour.

Randy K., United States, 06-2010

Both tours hop on hop off and Alcatraz were worth the money we paid online.

Rita S., United States, 06-2010

The night tour of Alcatraz was a lot of fun. The full moon was a nice added twist for our ride back to land.

diane d., United States, 05-2010

Well priced for the Alcatraz tour.

Stephen M., Canada, 05-2010

The hop on hop off city tour with Alcatraz is a great way to get to know San Francisco. Add the Golden Gate Park and the Night tour and you can see it all.

JUDY T., United States, 04-2010

It was fine. All went as planned thanks

francis w., United Kingdom, 04-2010

It was a very good experience I would recommend to my family and friends.

Larry A., United States, 03-2010

Fun tour guides, it was great getting their perspective of the city.

Anthony D., United States, 03-2010

The Alcatraz element of the tour was fantastic- I absolutely loved that and found it easy to locate, friendly staff and quite professional. Sadly the bus tour I didn't find so professional. The buses were old and bare inside. If the seating was full upstairs (as it is on the last tour of the day, even in February rain!) then sitting downstairs was awkward as the advertisements for external companies that were on the sides of the bus, including the windows, made it difficult to see out of and focus on. I found that the bus stops were hard to locate as there was no signage - you just had to wait somewhere near you thought was correct and flag a bus down (there were a couple of times the bus driver missed people as they were standing just 10 feet too far away - but how were they to know where to stand!) I would book Alcatraz again in a heartbeat but would choose a different bus tour.

Emma J., United Kingdom, 02-2010

Riding on the double decker bus was the best and easiest way for me to learn my way around Downtown San Francisco without getting lost. We took the tour one time around then explored a little on our own the second time knowing that there were points where the bus would pick us up. The experience was wonderful. I am very happy that I decided to purchase these tickets.

Jacqueline R., United States, 02-2010

The tour personnel were very good, thorough, humorous, knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour!

Ron V., United States, 09-2009

The guides were very happy, interesting, and helpful. They went the extra mile. I would highly recommend this.

Carherine S., United States, 09-2009

I really enjoyed the freedom of taking advantage of tht hop on hop off - perhaps I might have had a combined if I hadread more closely. I enjoyed it so much I have used a tour in Los Angeles where I am at present

John B., United Kingdom, 09-2009

Everything worked out great I would refer anyone to this tour

Dave W., Canada, 09-2009

Excellent

Paul F., Australia, 09-2009

THE COMBO TOUR WAS GREAT AND THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE.

Carol S., United States, 08-2009

easy voucher. Alcatraz Tour really interesting and well organized. Thank you

Matteo L., Italy, 08-2009

Very good.

William K., United States, 08-2009

I surfed the web to find activities for my family while we were in San Francisco and I found this tour and it was easy to set up. When we got to San Francisco we were able to find this place quite easy. They were so professional and helpful.

Cindy c., United States, 06-2009

Everything was just like it was promised, so completely met my expecations. The tours were informative as well as fun. Tour guides were great. A special mention for Steven. He's a star! He was really smart, funny and had some great trivia to share. His tours were a pleasure! Keep up the good work! Would definitely recommend to friends.

Saurabh P., United States, 06-2009

Your staff at the Leavenworth St. office at Fisherman's Wharf was very nice & helpful both on the phone and in person.

Liza T., United States, 06-2009

We were trying to catch the bus in China Town and weren't sure where it picked up. Had to run across a busy street because it stopped on the other side. Wish there were marked signs to wait by.

Cynthia W., United States, 06-2009

Through probably no fault of the city traffic, the bus was not on schedule and some wait times were up to 45 minutes. When traveling as a tourist...some of us have time limits and schedules. It would be perfect for someone traveling that had no time contrastraints.

Kimberly P., United States, 06-2009

Very fun tour!

Jason G., United States, 04-2009

The guides were wonderful, and it worked so well with our schedule.

Julie T., United States, 03-2009

Melissa T., United States, 02-2009

Tour guides were great....we were on 4 different buses one day and they all had great ancedotes about places, people and things. Easiest on and off tour we've ever done...lot's to see, convenient stops...would highly recommend this tour to anyone in SF area.

Sally F., , 09-2008

I thought the trip to Alcatraz was excellent and very interesting. The Downtown bus loop was disappointing in that it only covered a relatively small area of the city.

James L., United Kingdom, 08-2008

Alcatraz was brilliant, this must not be missed on a trip to San Fran.

JANET H., United Kingdom, 07-2008

The tour guide was excellent. He was well informed and added a lot of stories and personal experiences that added a lot to the tour.

Walter K., United States, 07-2008

Denise F., United States, 10-2007

Danielle M., United States, 08-2007

Great Trip and very professional fun tour guides!

Crystal L., United States, 08-2007

We got off the bus very early. It took FOREVER. It was interesting and I did learn a few things, but it just goes so slow and stops for SUCH a long time. We had to get off and hail a cab or we would have never made it back in time to meet up with others as planned. So the "get on and ride all day" thing only works if you have nothing else on your schedule!
