SAN FRANCISCO ONE DAY TOUR OVERVIEW

This carefully-curated classic San Francisco Private Tour is the perfect choice if you want to experience the City in just one day. We’ll show you the very best of San Francisco City sightseeing, with greater breadth and a more relaxed pace than you’ll find anywhere else.

At 6 hours, this tour includes many of the City’s famous locations, as well a stop for lunch at one of our recommended restaurants.

You may also extend your day an additional hour* to see the City’s diverse urban neighborhoods at your own pace.

Add two additional hours** to add a visit Alcatraz island. We provide with guaranteed authentic tickets to Alcatraz Island, ferry and luxury ground transportation. Your guide will share expert advice on how to get the most out of your self-paced visit to the Rock, including the award-winning official audio guide.

(*Best for adult-only groups. Families with children and teens most enjoy 4-6 hours. **Subject to availability. We recommend booking several weeks in advance to include this extremely popular attraction. We’ll obtain the best possible tickets to match your itinerary.)

Explore stylish, sophisticated San Francisco with us. You’ll walk away having seen so much more than the average visitor, and with a greater understanding of our diverse culture and neighborhoods. If you’re super short on time, our pre-curated Half-Day Highlights of San Francisco private tour could be a perfect solution. Otherwise, we’re also happy to offer a custom SF city tour catered completely to your interests and schedule.
