    Fun and touristy but what the hey. Great view from the top. You can hang off the side if you want. Have exact change.

    Best way to see SF! A must do. Recommend getting the 7 day pass if there for a week and planning to travel frequently. (Pass includes bus and train)

    The best seat in the house is actually standing room only - right by the rear break man! Watch downtown disappear as you climb nob hill.

    The line was really long at 10am. Get there early or wait over an hour. You can get pix on the waiting trolleys. The drivers are super nice!!

    Been here 100+ times
    If you are visiting, a seat on the eastern side of the car on the outside will give you the best views.

    Skip the turnstall at Powell and Market and get on where the locals do at the next stop up. Just be sure to have exact change or pass ready.

    You can't leave SF without experiencing the trolley. The best way to see the city.
