See San Francisco by bus, boat, and bike with a flexible day pass, a bay cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, and a 3-hour bike rental.

About this tour

See San Francisco from three memorable angles: an open-top bus, a bay cruise, and a bike ride. This flexible combo lets you explore at your own pace, with a full day of hop-on hop-off bus access, a 1-hour cruise, and a 3-hour bike rental.

Ride the bus past Fisherman’s Wharf, the Embarcadero, Union Square, North Beach, Golden Gate Park, and other city sights. Hop off to explore, then continue when you’re ready. On the water, cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and get close to Alcatraz Island, with views of the skyline and waterfront along the way. Live commentary or a multilingual audio guide shares information about the city as you sail.

Then set out on your own by bike, with a helmet and lock provided. Ride through the Marina District, visit Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts, or explore Golden Gate Park. You can also cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge or continue to Sausalito; the return ferry is not included. San Francisco’s changing views make each leg of this combo feel distinct. Choose your starting point and discover the city by land and water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.28 from 763 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.0.
