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.
I’m glad I chose the Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus while exploring San Francisco. It’s very convenient, especially if you’re traveling solo like me. You get to see all the top tourist spots without the stress of navigating Google Maps on your own. It made sightseeing easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended—thank you! experience: Best
it was a really great experience. the bus stops at all the important places and the narrative on the headphones was surprisingly good. if you don’t want to navigate the chaos of traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge this tour is for you
If you want to explore any place but you have only a limited time, the HOHO Bus is the perfect solution for you. It brings you to all the top tourist spot in the city. You don’t have to worry about parking or getting lost. Boarding the Bis Bus on the deck is always fun. The driver made it even more when he pumped us up before crossing The Golden Gate Bridge.
First time here in SFO and I love the travel experience with Big Bus Tours. You will be able to visit well known tourists spots here in SFO by hopping on and off the bus. If you purchase via klook, just download the voucher and add to apple or google wallet. Present the voucher to Big Bus Tours Stops. They will hand you over the receipt, brochure with detailed routes of the bus tour and earphones. You can ride at any Big Bus Stop just present your voucher and dont forget your earphones when you hop off the bus. It is a self guided tour. Enjoy!
good service and easy to book with klook. do take note that you can bring cash for tips. we unfortunately dont have cash for tips so we werent able to tip the drivers
A convenient way of getting to all the major sights around San Francisco, especially if you are not driving. A note though, the bus don't always pass by the attraction directly, some you'll have to drop at the nearest stop and walk over (e.g. The Painted Ladies). The sunset tour is wonderful, especially going to the Treasure Island for a sunset view of San Francisco. Really good deal with the Klook pass.
amazing experience cover the city and the pier. excellent service and guided tour. some of the buses we didn’t get the top floor seat
