One of the great pleasures of visiting San Francisco is a stroll along this city’s historic Fisherman’s Wharf. Here visitors can peer down at the fishing crafts riding in the calm water, or pause to watch fishermen mending a net. Most of the boats in view belong to a "third generation" of fishing craft, which have made history at Fisherman's Wharf.

From the days of the Gold Rush until the turn of the century, the San Francisco fishing fleet was composed of lateen-rigged sailboats. They were copies of the craft which the Italian fishermen knew in their native land. Green was the prevailing color of the tiny boats, and the name of a patron saint appeared on the hul

Great trip on the cable cars. Recommend the unlimited pass, the tour app gives you directions and tells what to see. Fun way to tour.

Didn’t work spent the money but didn’t get tickets & not allowed on the trip had to pay again & it was cheaper to book on the trolley than in advance. Wouldn’t bother trying to do this again

Only leaving 1 star as couldn’t leave a zero. Paid $35.80 for this experience, which didn’t happen. I didn’t receive the instructions how to set up till the day after I had booking . By the time I had received the instructions, I had landed back in Australia. I did reply to text stating that and still not received a reply from this company, Pintours. I couldnt recommend, based on my experience. It would be a goodwill gesture to receive a refund. Regards Christine

Couldn't get tickets as an error came up on app...tickets via muni app only 13 dollars per adult to ride 1 day...albeit no audio tour. Worth going up and down using the trams but after 5 mins it's boring

Lines can be long, but at least there’s an app that gives you commentary and answers questions while you wait
