Where do most guided tours in San Francisco depart from, and how easy is it to get there from my hotel?

Most of the city tours—especially the ones that include sightseeing stops or small-group experiences—depart from either Union Square or Fisherman’s Wharf. Those are the two main tourist hubs, so you’ll usually be within 10–20 minutes from the starting point no matter where you’re staying in the city.

If you’re staying downtown or in SoMa, you can probably walk to Union Square. From anywhere else, rideshare apps are the easiest way to get to the start point. A few tour companies offer hotel pickup, but most don’t—it’s better to assume you’ll need to get to the starting location on your own unless it’s spelled out when booking.

If you’re coming from the cruise terminal (Pier 27 or Pier 35), Fisherman’s Wharf is closest—just a 5–10 minute ride or a 15–20 minute walk, depending on the crowds.
