Keep in mind that the 24-hour ticket is valid for 24 hours after you activate it, so if you hop on first thing in the morning (10 am) then you can only use it that day, but if you hop on at 3 pm, then you can use it until 3 pm the next day.

The buses typically run from 10 am to 5 pm along their route, and are spaced about half an hour apart. This is a great option for people who want to enjoy their preferred attractions at their own pace, but appreciate the convenience of being transported from one to the next, while learning fun facts about the city. They make it easy for you to hop off at whichever stops you'd like, explore those sites for as long as you'd like, and then hop back on the next bus in the circuit when you're ready to continue. Hop-on hop-off bus tours in San Francisco are narrated bus tours around the city with set routes and several designated stops at the most popular tourist attractions and neighborhoods.
