Easy to get on and off on stops you choose. One suggestion is to mark the stops on the sidewalk/street for passengers getting on from a different stop than they exited from.

Self-Guided Audio Tour of the Golden Gate Bridge

A great way to get to know the Golden Gate Bridge
You follow the route on the app and whenever you reach a point of interest the narrator will tell you about it. I like the narrator's voice and the way he talks keeps it interesting, especially for children. Plus, you can take this tour at any time during the day on which you booked it, so the time is flexible. You can also cause it and pick it up at a later time or a different spot.

Food, History, and Resistance: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

An unexpected, touching experience
I know my grandparents, my father (he was 6) and his younger brother lived in San Francisco before they were interned, first at Tanforan horse track and then Topaz, Utah.I know Japantown is no where near as large as it was before WWII so the odds that I walked anywhere where my grandparents would have are slim, save perhaps the gate next to the Japanese Language School. Apparently through this gate was a location where Japanese reported for internment. I couldn't help but wonder if this was the one place where my family also stood those many decades ago.The author/narrator of the two did an excellent job. All of the sites she spoke about are still in existence. It was almost surreal to be standing in so many places of history, surrounded by many people who were oblivious as to the life and lives that preceded their own presence.This tour was fascinating. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Historical San Anselmo: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

The Seminary
This is where. I grew up lived on the block next to it. Had some secret places like the mouse graveyard at the base of the watchtower where they would fall. The museum was a hidden gem as well(in Geneva hall. Scott hall used to be taller but the rotunda lost the top floor in the 1906 earthquake. Now the home of college of Redlands. Geneva hall is the place where I first met the Dalai Lama. Great venues for events with the chapel in Geneva hall it is a good location for weddings with receptions on the plaza with the views.
