The Magic Bus Experience
2 h
Over deze activiteit
Board the brightly colored Magic Bus in central San Francisco and begin your journey through time as you are transported from Union Square to Chinatown, a culturally vibrant pocket of San Francisco that is home to the largest population of Chinese in America. Chinatown was a significant part of America’s exposure to Eastern philosophies in the 1960s and beyond.
Next, visit North Beach, where you will see the City Lights bookstore. City Lights was the epicenter of profound social change in San Francisco, where many famous Beat-generation poems were published and Beatniks like Jack Kerouac hung out.
Continue your Magic Ride and watch modern San Francisco blend with the past as you travel through the Financial District and up central Market Street en route to the crossroads of Haight and Ashbury streets – the home of the Summer of Love.
After you’ve experienced the famous Haight-Ashbury district through the bus’s windows of time-altered perception, your next destination is the lush gardens of Golden Gate Park, where you’ll stop at the Conservatory of Flowers. Hear how America's largest urban park hosted the Human Be-In event in 1967 and the first Earth Day in 1970. If the weather is nice, you may join a drum circle!
The '60s-era video, music and costumed staff of the Magic Bus will have you feeling present in the past as you are immersed in one of the United States’ most memorable cultural movements. It’s not just a sightseeing tour – it’s a trip!

It was a MAGICAl TRIP. We had a great time on 10/21 AM. The Video was informative. But, the tour guide, Serene Rain, and the driver, Tipsy, made our day with their pure hippie spirit. THANK YOU and All The BEST. Well worth the time and money was this MAGIC BUS. Definitely a 6 STAR TOUR
Tour guide was brand new. Didn’t know monuments we were passing. Very frustrating. Drove by historical sites with no mention or comment. Nice guy, but definitely not worth it.
Unique and fun way to experience San Francisco
Great we enjoyed it
Really fun and a great guide and driver. Well done movies. I thought they could have included more 60's related sites, such as urban commune sites, band's houses Jefferson Airplane, or co-op or head shops, but iI was glad I went.
This was a great tour. It made our visit to San Francisco. Great music, videos and tour guide. I highly recommend it.
