Doug led us on an amazing tour of Chinatown that included just the right amount of walking, stopping, history and humor. Be sure and get the hop on hop off tour that includes the Chinatown walking tour.

It was a great way to see San Francisco. We wish to thank you for your excellent service during our walking Chinatown tour that came with the hop on and off bus ticket in San Francisco. Special mention to Doug for his professionalism and knowledge leading your provided walking tour. At the end he even walked us back to a tram stop to return to our hotel, providing interesting information all the way. Well done Doug! サンフランシスコを効率よく見てまわることができました。バスチケットに含まれていた徒歩でのチャイナタウンのツアーもとても良かったです。ガイドのDougさん、ありがとうございました。

Liked the views and stops for hop on and hop off. Although I wish the last pick up wasn't so early! Too early for a dinner reservation to make it back to bus.

This is highly recommended and a great way to get your bearings around a new destination. Like it’s intended, we did the full tour then had some lunch, back on the bus and “hopped off” at places we had highlighted for closer inspection.
