Will there be photo stops?
The San Francisco Night Sightseeing Bus Tour is not a hop-on, hop-off tour. The tour bus departs from a point and returns to the same location after its circular journey, during which it makes no stops for anything. You can get off the bus at any stop, but you may need to terminate the journey, as the tour bus and other passengers will not wait around for you.
What makes the night tour different from the day tour?
The San Francisco Day Tours are hop-on, hop-off tours, whereas the night tour is not. The day tours cover the major attractions of the city, as well as the night tour, but during the night tour, you will experience the Night Lights of the city at Bay Bridge, the prettiest skyline at the San Francisco Bay, and a less crowded experience.
How long is the night tour?
The total duration to complete one round journey on the San Francisco Night Sightseeing Tour is 90 minutes.
