San Francisco Open Air Bus - Golden Gate Loop Tour

This 90 minute Tour, fully narrated by one of our professional guides, visits one the world's most famous landmarks - The Golden Gate Bridge!

The Golden Gate Loop is a whole lot more than the bridge and back. Departing from Fisherman's Wharf the tour highlights the Fisherman's Wharf Area - The hub of tourist attractions in San Francisco, it encompasses the northern waterfront area of San Francisco. This area is home to Ghirardelli Square, Pier 39, the Cannery Shopping Center and a wide variety of restaurants and walk up stands serving fresh seafood.

Next make your way through The Presidio - A former military base operated by the National Park Service of the United States, is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The park is characterized by many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas, overlooking San Francisco Bay.

Then we cross the 1.7 mile span of the Golden Gate Bridge. From the top deck, you'll have unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, Marin Headlands, The Pacific Ocean and San Francisco's skyline. A stop is made at the Northern End of The Golden Gate Bridge at The North Vista Point for photo oppurtunities.

Your next stop is charming Sausalito, famous for its art gelleries, shopping and restaurants along the waterfront. Whenever you are ready, hop back on the bus to cross the bridge again en route back to Fisherman's Wharf.
