An excellent tour and great value for money! The two day pass meant getting around San Fran during our stay was very easy. The audio tour at Alcatraz was worth every bit of praise we'd read previously and worth the tour price alone! For the bus tour, I'd definitely recommend exploring the Japanese Tea Garden and walking the Golden Gate Bridge.

I was with my daughter in San Francisco for 3 days. The hop on Hop off bus was excellent I learned more about San Francisco than I ever thought possible. The drivers were very informative and with a sense of humour. The Alcatraz trip was very well organized. All in all I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Great value for the price of a 2 day ticket, we found this was the ideal way to get an overall view of the area and we completed the full circle first and then selected specific areas that we wanted to explore in depth.
Obviously the Golden Gate Bridge and Golden Gate Park, highly recommend The Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio, Pier 39 of course, Lombard Street and the Cable Car ride from Union Square to Fishermans Wharf just blew me away.
Choices of shopping and eating places was great along Fishermans Wharf.
The trip over to Alcatraz was very good and informative - NEVER go to San Francisco without booking this in advance or you wont get to go to the rock. Do not let the rain and fog stop you either.

Ron was my driver when I took the full loop on the Hop-on Hop-off Tour. He was really entertaining to listen to, and he had a lot of great information on the various sites around the city. The bus is really convenient, and the stops are well chosen. When I went, it was raining, so this was a great way to see the sites of the city, and try to stay dry. I was also really happy that Ron mentioned the Chinese New Year parade that was happening while I was in town, otherwise I never would have heard about it. But because of his wonderful information, I got to go see the 2 hour parade, which was really one of the highlights of my trip! For the other half of this combo package - I had heard a lot about Alcatraz, and was really anticipating seeing The Rock, but even with all that anticipation, Alcatraz exceeded my expectations. The Audio Tour on the island is really well done, from the people they chose to narrate the tour, to the sound effects (in stereo) and what they chose to highlight while on the tour. I actually think it was better than being on a tour with a guide, because I could take the Audio Tour at my pace, and it kept this very reverent silence inside The Rock that sort of added to the ambiance. Book Alcatraz Early! A lot of people I met in San Francisco told me that they’d never been, or that they tried to get tickets and the tickets were already sold out! You’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t get to go to Alcatraz!

Nice trip, but we were kind of stuck as the Alcatraz tour has to be taken on the first day. Understandable with the amount of people wanting to go there. Nice tour, although could have been better if the hop-on hop-off was with Grayline.

We had a WONDERFUL time doing the Hop on Hop Off tour! We HIGHLY recommend the trip! Our drivers, Aaron, Ron and Jody were WONDERFUL tour guides and each added their own flair on the history and happenings of the city. Our favorite part of the trip was the Golden Gate bridge. Most say Alcatraz which we did enjoy, but were saddened at the run down out buildings. Such a sad place to visit, but the condition of the out buildings was a real let down. that has nothing to do w Viator tours but the busses do come by every 15-20 minutes, and you can get on and off at the stops. You take the a city bus to their location, which was very easy to do, and because our Hotel was on the route, several times we were dropped off right in front of our hotel. Cow Hollow, EXCELLENT place to stay Just an excellent company. We were very happy with them and highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed.

The Hop-on hop-off bus was great, recommend to take the first bus at 8.20am, take the full 2 hour journey, and then you can decide where to hop off next time around. The Alcatraz tour was awesome, you need a good 2 hours on the island.
