One of my favorite tours is to depart OAK runway 30 and slowly climb out the middle of the bay, right over the Golden Gate Bridge when heading for the islands. Somewhere in our FOM it says Bay Tours are prohibited. However, I'm not sure what that means exactly.

"What's the minimum altitude you can clear us down to?"
I think it was around 12,000-14,000'. Tours get the airspace below the min vectoring altitude.
FOQA and ADS-B have ruined some of the fun in this business.

That's one of the things I like about corporate flying. Sometimes it is the Grand Canyon others the soccer field where their kids are playing.

I did the same thing once over Niagra en route to Toronto. We dropped down to 10,000ft about 30 miles early, made two 360s around the falls and landed in Toronto seven minutes early...
And yup, a passenger complained that he wasn't even earlier and that he didn't pay for a "g-- da---- tour of the US."
