For one month only, see San Francisco at its seasonal best! Feast your eyes on the festive lights and drink in some holiday cheer on board our delightful electric vehicles! Getting in the holiday spirit comes naturally as you view the beautifully adorned trees, parks, bridges, and buildings throughout the city. Even the cable cars are festooned with lights!

Our 1.5 hour Holiday Lights outings include yummy hot chocolate, candy canes, fuzzy Santa hats and plenty of sing-along holiday karaoke tunes on board.

Your tour begins at Fisherman’s Wharf, snakes along the waterfront and heads to Marina Boulevard, where you’ll see breathtaking views of the glittering Golden Gate Bridge. Then it’s on to the Palace of Fine Arts, then up to the incredible Union Street Fantasy of Lights.

At Union Square, the center of the San Francisco’s festivities, witness for yourself why Macy's spectacular window decorations have become so famous! We then head up to Nob Hill, stopping at the Fairmont Hotel to check out their winter wonderland lobby and completely edible two-story gingerbread house (actual house-sized!).

From there, the tour takes you to City Hall, where its exterior glows red and green to celebrate the season. Then, at the Embarcadero, savor (and photograph!) the Bay Bridge light show. San Francisco has a gift for you: the buildings at the Embarcadero Center are outlined in twinkling lights like giant presents! Check out the massive Christmas tree at PIER 39 before arriving back in Fisherman’s Wharf.

Your holiday tour starts at Umbrella Alley Fisherman’s Wharf. Our private tours are limited to six riders per Jeep.
