MsSoCalCruiser Posted February 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2014 What is the best way to see all the sites in San Francisco? Thank you for your help in advance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveljule Posted February 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Definitely hop on/off bus is best for tourist attractions. BART is a great way to get to some parts of the city, but not all. For example you can't get to golden gate park on BART, but if you want to go to union square BART (or walking) is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. What we have here are several people who do not know the area, at all. Do you know the name of the hop on/off bus? Is there a company that they should look for? I know my friends want to go and see all of the sites. I seem to remember that someone mentioned Little Italy. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveljule Posted February 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I would go on Yelp or trip advisor for specific companies. We are locals but did this type of tour last fall and had so much fun! We used Big Bus tours (I think). Little Italy is called North Beach, BTW :). Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have them look for Big Bus tours. And I'll make sure to tell my friends that they want to go to North Beach :) If you can think of anything else, please post it! Thanks again!

Ronnie1a Posted March 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf are two majaor stops where the majority of the people buy their tickets and get on or off. Everybody likes to sit on top but be sure to bring coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancyquilts Posted March 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Don't forget the cable car from Mason/Powell and Market to near Fisherman's Wharf. Not the California St. one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny AZ Girl Posted March 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2014 What is the best way to see the"Painted Ladies" Victorian homes? Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie1a Posted March 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Easy to take pictures from the park. But, you need to get there. Tour busses are prohibited from driving down the street. They are located on Steiner St. between Hayes and Fulton. The park is called Alamo Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
