Overview

This fun, family-friendly open-air tour is the easiest way to experience San Francisco’s top highlights in under two hours—with the flexibility to upgrade by adding Alcatraz or making it a private 2-hour tour for your group (7 people max for our private tours)

Departing from our shop in Little Italy, you’ll ride down world-famous Lombard Street, descend ultra-steep Filbert Street, and enjoy an iconic Golden Gate Bridge photo stop. Travel through Little Italy and Chinatown, pass filming spots from Mrs. Doubtfire, Bullitt, The Rock, and Dirty Harry, and catch views of the iconic Cable Cars climbing our steepest hills.

You’ll also explore Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, the Marina, Fort Mason, the Presidio, and more—plus four scenic photo stops at the Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and Pacific Heights. Perfect for guests short on time but big on adventure.
