Amazing

Published on Jan, 2025

Outstanding views, some of the best ever seen, every site you'd want in San Fransisco is covered, and plenty of time to use restrooms and go exploring. Highly reccomend, even for the price.

We had a fantastic experience with Gray Line San Francisco! The tour was well-organized, covering all the cityā€™s highlights, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks. Our guide, Michelle, was amazingā€”knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great stories about the cityā€™s history. Everything ran smoothly, and the views were breathtaking. Highly recommend Gray Line for exploring San Francisco!

Great tour!!

Great tour, tour guide and driver! The sights we visited were breathtaking, each location revealing a unique story that captivated our group. Our guide's knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable, as they shared fascinating anecdotes along the way. The seamless coordination between the driver and guide ensured that we stayed on schedule while still having ample time to explore. By the end of the day, we felt enriched by the journey and grateful for the memories created together.

Great tour; money well spent.

The Presidio, The Palace of the Arts, Golden Gate Park for sure, it's beautiful, The Golden Gate Bridge. Everything was great and informative. The tour allowed you see alot of places you may want to visit for a little while longer om your own time. Danillo and Michelle were an awesome tour guide team. I was only here for 3 days but with their information from the tour I was able to see and do alot on my own time. It's my first time visiting BUT I will definitely be back for a longer visit.
