Great fun with lots of unique things to see. The best were all the sea lions basking in the sun. This area is clean and offers unique sites.

I thought the tour was alright, so so. While it wasn’t the best I’ve ever experienced, it wasn’t the worst either. For my first visit to the Wharf in San Francisco, I appreciated having the tour, but I’m not sure it was entirely necessary, as the sites were mostly within easy walking distance of each other. I might have been able to follow a similar itinerary on my own.
There were a few interesting or funny moments, but I found myself getting bored and distracted at times. Given the price, it might be worth it, but there could be better tours available, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this one as a “must-do.” The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but I didn’t feel very engaged throughout the tour.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
How great that you want to share your experience! Your feedback helps other travelers to make a better choice.
