San Francisco review
The overall experience and value were very good. I l loved that. I loved being able to see many different sight in the city. My only complaint was there are 3 hop on-hop off bus tour companies in San Francisco and none of the stops were clearly marked. Until I rode the bus, I was not aware of any of the stop's actual locations. It would say one stop, and I put that in location and it would not put me where I needed to be. I started at the beginning first stop by taking an uber there. My experience was great from that first stop but I didn't necessarily want to start from the stop as there was ones closer to my hotel. There were many stops that did drop me right where I needed to be and that was very helpful.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the overall experience, the value of the pass, and exploring so many sights across San Francisco. We appreciate your comments regarding the hop-on hop-off bus stops and understand how important clear directions are when planning your day. To enhance your experience, we recommend using the Big Bus Tours app, which provides real-time bus tracking, interactive maps with clearly marked stops, detailed stop information, walking directions, and live service updates.

Warning for families with children on spectrum
Our experience with Go City was extremely disappointing and frustrating. We purchased a Go City pass specifically because the hop-on hop-off bus was a major part of the attractions included. When we attempted to use it, the bus was unavailable, which eliminated one of the main reasons we purchased the pass in the first place. This was especially difficult for our family because we were traveling with a child on the autism spectrum. The hop-on hop-off bus was chosen intentionally because it provides a predictable and structured way to see the city. The alternative options suggested were not appropriate or accessible for our child and the company made us feel that we CHOSE not to do other methods of transportation so it was our problem. Even though Go City acknowledged the issue, they refused to resolve it and instead directed us back to Groupon because that is where the pass was purchased. Groupon then pointed back to Go City since they operate the attractions. As a result, we were left stuck between two companies, both avoiding responsibility for a product that did not deliver what was advertised. It is very disappointing that neither company was willing to take accountability, especially given the accessibility concerns involved. Travelers should be cautious when purchasing these passes, particularly if there are specific attractions you are relying on. If something important is unavailable, you may find yourself with little support and no resolution.

Fun in San Francisco
We were able to do so many activities and stayed busy. We saved a lot a money on tickets for a family of 4. We enjoyed ourselves and it was easy once we used the itinerary to plan each day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion with Madame Tussauds and your son’s pass. We understand how frustrating it is when issues like this occur, especially when it feels like responsibility is being passed between teams. At Go City, we take these matters seriously. When a ticket is scanned incorrectly, it triggers a verification process that usually takes up to 48 hours to review and resolve. This step helps ensure that any errors are properly investigated with our partners before making final decisions. If you haven’t done so already, please send full details of your experience to reviews@gocity.com. Our team is dedicated to following up and helping to resolve such cases as quickly and fairly as possible. Your feedback is very valuable and helps us improve our service and communication to prevent similar issues in the future. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to restore your confidence in Go City.

Tour on Grayline Bus Tours with Mario to Krka Waterfalls.
A tour to Krka Waterfalls fro Split. It was about 1 hour bus ride, in a comfortable bus. Being April there were only 15 or so travellers. Bus driver Andy, was excellent driver. Not aggressive and we felt safe in his hands. The tour guide was Darijo (Dario). He was very interactive, pleasant, interesting, entertaining, informative, personable and was well received by the group. He made the tour! It wasn’t the greatest weather, cool in am but the afternoon was more pleasant. It was a beautiful walk. Saw a few stray cats and we had bought cat food so they were happy. The waterfalls were beautiful. Dario told many stories about the area . Several of us attended the wine and cheese tasting in another community at Sladic Vinarija, a local winery. We tasted 4 wines. Most of us really liked the Dessert wine. Much like a port. It was extremely good. A thank you to Marijo, the server who also makes the wine with his other family members. Grayline Tours we’re very punctual. The lady( Mya) we purchased the tickets from was very helpful in assisting us. Grayline was a great company so we booked another tour with them for Dubrovnik. Thank you to Dario! You’re the best!

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Francisco.
How much does San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Francisco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Francisco is not rushed.
Is San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in San Francisco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Francisco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Francisco and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Francisco Pass: Save up to 50% - Includes Big Bus Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Francisco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Francisco?
+
San Francisco packs Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Napa and the bay into day-trip range, which makes booking order matter more than anywhere else in the US. Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead, wine-country vans fill on weekends, and the best food walks in the Mission and Chinatown cap at a dozen people. Our ranking favours small groups and guides who live in the neighbourhood they walk. On Outty we rank every San Francisco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz, Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Francisco?
+
September and October, the city's real summer, once the fog season breaks. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Francisco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
