Best of San Francisco tour was quite good. We saw many of the sights of San Francisco and the tour guide provided interesting and information commentary on the sights and the route we took. We were impressed with the number of cyclists and joggers we saw and how the city supports their alternative forms of transportation.
This was a very good overview of San Francisco, hitting all the high points if only from a distance (few actual stops for pictures or further exploration). The bus picked up at my airport hotel and delivered to the downtown area where we were distributed to several other buses for different tours (all done through Gray Line). After the tour we were again dropped off at the Gray Line station with some three hours before the return bus to my hotel. However the Gray Line station is quite close to the bay area with a lots of attractions, restaurants, etc. So got a lot of walking in after a the bus tour.
There is a huge amount to see and the time alotted is too short to do it justice. For a first time visitor, this was perhaps the best tour for us as it gave us a general view of what the city has to offer.<br /><br />The guide was outstanding - knew his stuff. <br /><br />Our greatest disappointment with our stop in San Francisco was that there was not time to do both this tour and to go out to Alcatraz.
