San Francisco Sightseeing Bus Tours

San Francisco Sightseeing Bus Tours
San Francisco offers visitors numerous outdoor activities, including kayaking, hiking, fishing and bicycling. Even walking the steep city streets provides a good workout. In addition to the traditional sightseeing bus tours, you can take a combination walking-bus tour, sightsee on land and sea in an amphibious vehicle, or depart the city via a biodiesel-fueled shuttle bus to explore nearby attractions in Yosemite, Muir Woods, Lake Tahoe, or the Sonoma and Napa Valleys.

Incredible Adventures

Specializing in small groups and biodiesel-fueled vehicles, this sightseeing company allows you to choose your own tour itinerary. The small buses are able to navigate locations that are closed to larger tour buses. An alternative to traditional sightseeing bus tours, Incredible Adventures offers single-day and multiple-day active sightseeing tours that depart from San Francisco. The biodiesel-fueled buses minimize the impact on the environment as you travel to Yosemite, Muir Woods, Lake Tahoe or the Wine Country to take a walking, hiking, skiing or whitewater rafting sightseeing tour.
