Explore one of America\u2019s most beautiful cities by air, land, and sea during your next San Francisco tour<\/a>!\u00a0 The hustle and bustle of this popular city destination can cause confusion and traffic delays for the weary traveller.\u00a0 Such is the case when then only places more cramped are 4 out of the 5 boroughs of New York.\u00a0 So, it might behoove you to at least take a look at some alternative transportation methods to help you avoid the chaos, but still enjoy everything the city has to offer.\u00a0 Consider trying these alternative ways of getting around San Francisco the next time you come to town:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Helicopter Tour:\u00a0 The Only Way to Fly<\/h4>\n

\"getting-around-san-francisco-helicopter\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever read articles similar to this one, then you know that a helicopter tour almost always gets mentioned last;\u00a0 and, it never comes first.\u00a0 But, why?\u00a0 Do authors try to hide it at the end, thinking no one will purchase it?\u00a0 Or, perhaps they want to make one, final splash with a flashy, luxury product.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ll put it first because I know a helicopter tour delivers the best views of any city, S.F. included.\u00a0 Plus, working a San Francisco\u00a0Helicopter Tour<\/span><\/strong><\/a> into your itinerary costs a heck of a lot less than it did the last time you checked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hop-on, Hop-off Tour:\u00a0 A Breath of Fresh Air<\/h4>\n

\"getting-around-san<\/p>\n

As one of the most densely populated cities in the United States, S.F. suffers from significant traffic congestion.\u00a0 And, its mass transit systems, which serve all walks of life, sometimes reach maximum capacity. \u00a0Under such traffic conditions, choosing a San Francisco\u00a0Hop-on, Hop-off Tour<\/span><\/strong><\/a> ensures you won\u2019t have to chase down a public bus or elbow your way onto train.\u00a0 Plus, it offers a unique opportunity to look up at the San Francisco skyscrapers from the open-air upper deck of a shared, private vehicle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bay Cruise:\u00a0 A Salt Spray Spectacular<\/h4>\n

\"getting-around-san-francisco-bay-cruise\"<\/p>\n

Look, the City of San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay it traverses.\u00a0 So, obviously, you should at least consider adding a bay cruise to your San Francisco trip.\u00a0 You won\u2019t find a more refreshing way to experience S.F. than sailing around the bay, circling Alcatraz, and passing under the Golden Gate Bridge.\u00a0 And, the views of the city skyline from the water make a bay cruise<\/a><\/span><\/strong> one of most popular things to do in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cable Car:\u00a0 A San Francisco Treat<\/h4>\n

\"getting-around-san-francisco-cable-car\"<\/p>\n

Almost everyone remembers that rice company\u2019s television commercial featuring a San Francisco cable car.\u00a0 Like Chicago\u2019s elevated train and New York\u2019s subway, the S.F. cable car serves as a transportation icon for an entire city.\u00a0 So, you might feel like your San Francisco vacation lacked something important if you didn\u2019t at least see<\/em> a cable car.\u00a0 Thankfully, the Pier 39 Attraction Card<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0allows you to actually ride these relics of public transportation.\u00a0 It\u2019s what to do in San Francisco for a one-of-a-kind, old-timey experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bike Tour:\u00a0 Explore San Francisco’s Nooks and Crannies<\/h4>\n

\"getting-around-san-francisco-bike\"<\/p>\n

The rolling hills and winding roads make S.F. one of the most popular destinations for cyclists.\u00a0 Countless lookout spots and hidden locales reachable only by two-wheelers draw in both novices and experienced peddlers alike.\u00a0 There’s just something magical about enjoying a beautiful vista of the bay and feeling like you have earned it through your own sweat and determination.\u00a0 So, if you love biking, a San Francisco\u00a0Bike Tour<\/span><\/strong><\/a> represents the perfect way to get some sightseeing done during your San Francisco vacation!<\/p>\n
