"How do we get to the Golden Gate Bridge?" This is the most commonly asked question visitors to SF have, and the 2 Hour Golden Gate Bridge tour is the answer! This popular tour is designed to provide the complete Golden Gate Bridge experience - you can even walk the length of the Bridge, if desired. You'll avoid the crowds that can tie up the vista points, and have a peaceful transit, as we only take a maximum of 5-6 passengers on this tour -it may not be a Private tour, but it might as well be!
