Wow! Such a fun tour! I definitely recommend booking the cable car tickets option, as you have unlimited cable car rides all day! We ended up also adding the Fisherman’s Wharf tour, and Downtown SF. It was great! We got to see the whole city and have free rides the whole time!

It did no play during my cable car trip: it said not playing! I tried fumbling with it but stopped as it was distracting from the views. Later, in my hotel, I was able to play SOME stops, but not all.

Heard a lot about the cable car! Fun tour, but its a shared experience! Unless you have a big group of 10 people, other people will sit with you as well! If you book the single ride, you can only ride once. Otherwise, I recommend booking the unlimited pass for all day rides

Only had 2 days in SF, and wanted a quick intro through the city, and this was great! Booked this after my last meeting of the day, and got to the cable car line around mid day. I got the single ride ticket, but recommend the unlimited pass, if you want to explore all the stops. The tour app is fun as well! I used the public wifi when waiting in line to set it up I recommend also doing a walking tour to learn more about the city.

Booked this for 150th cable car anniversary discount! It was a lot of fun, just keep in mind there’s always a lot of people here! So try to come early! And make sure to setup the tour app before riding

Was not clear where the start and stop locations were. They do not tell you when you get on.

Didn’t follow the car line, didn’t keep up with the car. I had to skip stops, which would have been okay if I could go back to access them, but I could only access them if I was geolocated near the area.

Very frustrating experience. The app was. It sync with train and kept providing walking directions rather than train directions. No commentary provided for the return train journey.

Not even a 1 star. I could never get the “tour” audio to work correctly. The music would play but no other audio. I took the correct trolley and started the tour as soon as I sat down at Powell street and listened to the music for 4-5 stops and nothing. Waste of money.
