Fabulous way to see the city. We really did take advantage of the hop on and off… even walking between stops to pick up the next bus. Fab commentary too telling us so much we would have never have known without!!

Doesn’t drop off at a convenient location for Lombard street. We also had to wait over 45 minutes at one of the last stops when it was getting really cold in the afternoon

There is no Chinatown tour any more. Don’t pay for it! The trip around takes over 2 hours, but I would recommend doing all of it and then decide where you want to stop.

Such a well ran business! The main office people were helpful, quick and efficient! The audio portion is interesting and well done! Easy to hop off and on, as the next bus was there quickly. Very much enjoyed riding and seeing all the sights in the different parts of the city!
