Explore: 48-hour Hop-on Hop-off Tour, Chinatown Walking Tour & Panoramic Sunset Tour
This is well worth the purchase. Great tour! Although we purchased the 48 hr pass, we were only able to take advantage of it for just a few hours. San Francisco has a lot to offer and we just couldn’t squeeze it all in.

Four Black Movie Tickets
A great deal! We watched a movie opening night at no extra charge! The tickets themselves save you a few bucks each since it was an evening showing that normally costs $18-$20. I bought 4 tickets through Groupon for $52, so $13 each. A great deal! I love AMC so will be purchasing this deal again.
