comfy ride going around sf. if you are short on time and want an overview of all the key touristy places in san francisco this is a good tour to do so. there are some places that can’t bring you to such as the painted ladies as tour buses cant go there. thanks to michelle and judith for the nice tour.

The pick-up location is convenient, and the route passes by all the classic sights. The bus is clean, and the commentary on the attractions is lively and engaging. I highly recommend Big Bus as a tool for independent travelers.

48-hr BigBus tours is one of the most convenient and amazing tour you can have if it is your first time in SF. With the best insights of each stop, we thought we should book an extra day just to enjoy the ride through the city! And thanks to Klook for finding the best deals.

There's no need to arrive too early; about 20 minutes beforehand is fine. Even if you don't arrive at Pier 33 early, as long as you get there before the boat departs and exchange your ticket, you'll be fine. You'll need to go to the ticket booth first to exchange for a physical ticket. Once you arrive, you can explore on your own following the suggested route, and there are also audio guides available in various languages. After completing the Alcatraz tour, you can walk to the pier to catch the next available boat back to the bay. Upon returning to the bay, you can walk to the ticket exchange point at Pier 39 to continue with a one-hour bay cruise. Please note that the QR code for this ticket exchange will be sent to your email, not the Klook QR code. You can choose your preferred cruise time when exchanging your ticket. The cruise will take you under the Golden Gate Bridge, allowing you to admire the bridge from a different perspective.

Tour was good since it takes you around the city but some stops are a bit far from touristy spots. We had to walk a lot uphill just to see Lombard. Aquarium suddenly wasn’t part of the tour on the day we joined so we didn’t get the tickets that were supposed to be included. Sunset tour was worth it though.
