Good - It was dark. I couldn't see much except Bob's Donuts and the Golden Gate Bridge. I have nothing else to share except the driver was nice.

Great way to get an overview of the city and make your way around. - We really enjoyed the entire Big Bus experience in San Francisco. We initially booked the night tour for 4 adults and then added the days on when we arrived at the embarkation point near the wharf. The night tour gives you a quick but thorough drive through and past the high points and then the day time buses make a round every few minutes so you can hop off and tour some place and then catch the next convenient bus. Brilliant and we loved it. Our guide, Lew was awesome and gave us some great pointers about getting around on foot between bus stops so we could visit some specific places.

Fun and Informative - Decent route, informative guide. There is an opportunity to disembark for photos at Treasure Island. It can get quite cold up top, so bundle up even in the spring and ideally bring a hat of some kind to cover your ears from wind.

It was ok but too cold not to be warned - San Francisco at night is wonderful, but there was only pre recorded history of the sites. Also it was cold and we were not told that Bay Bridge would be part so we could dress accordingly.

it was not a good birthday experience. I was frustrated - I was there last night and the big bus told us there is no night tour and the one on the line was the last trip of the day and that was only 5pm around 99 jeffersob St. I showed them my voucher and they just told us to contact viator which was hard for us to do because there was no contact number provided in the app.. My husband was so upset with the staff there so they end up letting us hop in with their last trip. Why would you sell tickets when there was no scheduled trip that day? It was really frustrating and embarassing to be arguing with the staff in the skyline office.

Disappointing experience - Guide only spoke to the upper deck making it impossible for us in the bus downstairs to follow his commentary. Interior lights downstairs were too bright to take photos. Was more about fun facts than visiting city landmarks. Ticketing process unclear. Had to collect from office, but they didn’t answer the phone! We made it to the office right on close of business to find music blaring, so he couldn’t hear the phone.

Very disappointing - Disappointing. We turned up at the site to redeem our ticket but the office was closed. We tried calling the number but no-one answered. We went to the departure point and there was no bus. We tried calling the next day for a refund and again no-one answered.
