San Francisco Vista Helicopter Tour

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

The helicopter tour was wonderful, well worth doing. We were in the air longer than the promoted time and also flew from Saulsalito airport to the San Francisco airport which gave us more to see instead of a round trip. We flew under then over the Golden Gate Bridge and that was an "E-ticket" ride!!! They did put 6 passengers in the helicopter so it was completely packed. I did feel sorry for the gentlemen in the middle seat in the back. Would be better if they would only book 5. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour.

My Review

As part of this tour, we also did the on and off again trolley as well as the Bay Aquarium and the walk on the bridge. The on and off again trolley was good, drivers were informative. They had less trolleys running than they should have for a Sunday so didn't feel like we could get off or we there may not be room for us to get back on. It was an amazing thing to walk on the bridge (which you can do on your own but would not have the guided tour part of it). A National Park Service employee led the tour. She was very informative but equated all the information given to a "battle being fought". That was a little hoakiie but still well worth doing. Be sure and wear warm clothing-very, very windy on the bridge. We did end up paying for a cab to get back to our hotel other than to ride the trolley for another 1 1/2hrs. around to the wharf. So if you book the Golden Gate Walking Tour better to do in a.m. on your way around since it is stop #6. The Aquarium was small but nice. You do not have to use the ticket the same day, which they did not tell us. The ticket we were given was good until Dec. 31st so we actually went the next day since it was drizzling rain. It was a good indoor activity. I think you save money by booking all together but you should probably check it out in case you really don't want to do all three.
