Worth it!

I got the city pass when I was going to be in San Fran for 5 days. The unlimited MUNI was such a lifesaver, and the museums were the highlight of the trip. I wasn't able to visit everything in the time I had, but I still more than made up for the cost of the booklet. Absolutely must have!
