Get your bearings fast with a whirly-bird’s-eye view of the city on San Francisco’s Helicopter Tours, perhaps the most exhilirating of all tours of San Francisco. For the last 25 years, San Francisco Helicopter Tours has been lifting off from SFO and Sausalito and buzzing the hot spots in four- and six-seater helicopters. The views are genuinely breathtaking as you nuzzle up to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the San Francisco skyline, and Fisherman’s Wharf, then up the coastline to the lush slopes and jagged cliffs of the Marin Headlands, and drop down over the bayside village of Sausalito.
