Most city tours in San Francisco start either near Fisherman’s Wharf or Union Square. If you’re arriving by cruise ship at Pier 27 or Pier 35, Fisherman’s Wharf is the closest—it’s about a 5 to 10-minute Uber or taxi ride. You can walk it, but if you’re on a tight schedule or the weather’s foggy (which it often is), I’d recommend grabbing a ride to save time.
Union Square is a bit farther—roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car depending on traffic. Either way, it’s best to give yourself a little buffer, especially if your tour has a strict departure time.
