Suzanne123 Posted August 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I am spending two days in SF on a Pacific Coast cruise in a couple weeks ( going solo ). Does anyone know if there are tour vendors near the dock or if I could catch the HOHO close by? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted August 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The dock is right inside the city. San Francisco is a compact easy to get around place. I have been there solo on a land trip and just used normal public transit to get around + walking. The only place I needed a tour was to get outside the city to Muir Woods. I wouldn't do a ho ho there with all the easy transit options. With that said, there are stops on the ho ho at Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building. Those 2 places are walking distance on either side of the cruise docks. Here is a map but not sure the link will be live: https://goo.gl/maps/5P6VAu8fc9H2 The ferry building is the gray pointer on the map on the right side near the bottom.

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted August 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2018 There are tour operators at the pier. You could book the Alcatraz tour if there are still tickets and walk a few yards to the ferry out to the "Rock." Also, check out "Wild San Francisco" walk tours. We did the Chinatown one a couple of years ago and loved it. They have several others I would love to go back and do. You might have to catch an UBER to their meeting point, but well worth it. https://wildsftours.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two ports in San Francisco. Assuming I am correct you will be docked a the newer Pier at Pier 27. I say this because there are two piers in San Francisco. The other pier is pier 35. They are a short walk from one another. The other pier is a little closer to Fisherman's Wharf. It is a short walk to some stores/vendors. There is the Ferry Building for more one of a kind items. A more touristy area which is towards Pier 35 is pier 39. With two days you have a lot you can do. There is a HOHO near Pier 39. I would visit a site like Trip Advisor to read about places to visit or there are a range of other travel sites to visit. We love San Francisco.

andynapril Posted September 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2018 If you'll be at Pier 27 the merchants run a free shuttle back and forth to Pier 39. It picks up right on the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
