The locally owned company has been operating bus tours in San Francisco since 1997. In 2005 we took on the "City Sightseeing" brand, and imported San Francisco's first open-top double-decker buses from London. Today, City Sightseeing San Francisco is the largest sightseeing operator in San Francisco, carrying around 1.5 million passengers in the last 5 years, with a fleet of 20 open-top vehicles, as well as minibuses and vans.
We operate a large variety of tours in and around San Francisco, and cover most of the most popular attractions. In San Francisco itself, we offer 4 different open-top routes, to offer you the most comprehensive tours of the city. Outside of San Francisco, tours include Muir Woods, Wine Country, Monterey / Carmel and Yosemite National Park.
The worldwide brand "City Sightseeing" operates in over 100 cities all over the world, and was established in 1998 in Seville, Spain.
