the audio portion of the tour did not work on the top of the bus which meant we missed all of that value.
Great open top bus. Good audio commentary with free head phones to listen to. Easy to find pick up points and the start of the tour. It was very windy and cold going over the Golden Gate Bridge (March 2025) as obviously you are exposed. Just bear in mind if you are elderly or toddlers. We stayed up on top of the bus it’s not too long a journey across and is very doable, just down to each persons preference
Excellent
a great way to see a snapshot of san francisco..lots of information in a variety of languages
Really good
Der Preis ist schon grenzwertig... 66€ p.P. in anderen Städten istves deutlich günstiger (1/2 so teuer)
It was good to get to see all the sights and get off at the ones that I interested us.
