What sets this tour apart? It’s the only experience that lets you see San Francisco from both the streets and the sea — all in one seamless, private adventure.
Skip the big buses and explore in a bright green open-top Jeep with your own local guide. Drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, stop for real photos, cruise down Lombard Street — the “Crookedest Street” — and explore iconic neighborhoods like Chinatown, North Beach, and the Presidio. The route is flexible and tailored to your group.
Then step aboard a 1-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise. Sail under the bridge, circle Alcatraz Island, and enjoy stunning skyline views from the water.
Upgrade: Add 1 hour for the full city route — Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, Ocean Beach, Painted Ladies, plus everything in the 2-hour tour.
