The elevator was not working so we had to do the 234 steps by foot. That was actually fine but we were not allowed to stop for security reasons. The murals are nice and the 360 view from the top is n…Full review by ChristelLux

It was a bit of a shame that the weather was windy and a tad rainy but I still got a good 360 view of San Francisco. The arch shape of the windows added a cool effect. Worth a visit!Full review by Simonkn20

Don't think I can help you because my husband and I seen the tower from the road and wondered what it was. We walked up the hill (very steep) and paid at the entrance which is just inside the door. There was no queues and no time slots. We just "rocked up" and went in. After seeing this place I am so glad we did NOT get this on any tour. I don't think it's worth that. You are only in there for an hour at the most. It's nothing too special but it is informative of a piece of San Francisco's history.
