Tours of Salesforce Tower
Before the pandemic, Salesforce, Inc. had tours of the Salesforce Tower, and I remembering hearing that the wait list for them was quite long. Those tours were not operated by SF City Guides, and the last time I checked, these are still on hold. More information can be found at https://salesforcetowertours.com/
