What you can expect
Explore San Francisco your way with a choice of 24-hour or 48-hour Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus tickets. Travel around the city on open-top buses and hop on and off at convenient stops near top attractions including Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Chinatown, Little Italy, Union Square, the Painted Ladies, Lombard Street, the Marina District, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The full sightseeing loop takes approximately two hours, making it a great way to get an introduction to the city before hopping off to explore your favourite neighbourhoods and landmarks in more detail.
Depending on the ticket option selected, you can also enjoy additional experiences such as the Panoramic Sunset Tour and a self-guided bike tour.
Choose the 48-hour and cruise ticket for the most complete experience, which also includes a Golden Gate Bay Cruise. Take in San Francisco from the water as you cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz Island, and along the city’s famous waterfront.
