Full description
One reasonable price gives you a bewildering amount of choice for sightseeing in this fabled city – 3 hop-on hop-off bus loops, a special night tour and tickets to the infamous Alcatraz Island, where you will enjoy a self-guided audio tour of the notorious prison. Audio guides are available in a variety of languages but the hop-on hop-off tour is only available in English.
With open double-decker buses and a guide on each one, you can see just about everything and learn just as much. You can get to all the most famous spots in the city by combining the routes, and 48 hours is enough time to go back and visit your favorites again.
