What Makes Lucky Tuk Tuk Tour Routes Different?

Short answer: Lucky Tuk Tuk tours go to the San Francisco sights you actually came to see—plus scenic routes and local-style “connector” streets that big tours often skip. Our tours are private, guided, and flexible, which means your route is designed around the best views, photo moments, and city flow on the day you ride.

On this page: you’ll see the typical routes for our two core experiences (day + night), what guests love about each, and a quick skimmable list of the kinds of places you’ll see along the way.
