A typical day in San Francisco finds the fog pouring into the Golden Gate, cable cars climbing the steep
hills, and automobiles twisting their way down Lombard Street, the "crookedest street in the world".
Your tour of this magnificent city begins at Fisherman's Wharf, home to crab boats and the fishing
fleet and some of the best seafood restaurants in the world. From the Wharf, you will travel past the
Hyde Street Pier and National Maritime Museum, Ghirardelli Square, and Lombard Street. From the
Wharf, residential neighborhoods spread out in every direction, covering the seven hills that make up the
city. Traveling through the Marina District, you will pass the Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio of San
Francisco, a former Army garrison now turned into a National Park. The Golden Gate Bridge, San
Francisco's famous icon, comes into view. This is the first stop on your tour, and you will have ample time
to take photos. Following the rugged coastline west of the bridge, your tour will take you through forested
parklands and upscale residential neighborhoods. You will pass the famous Cliff house and Ocean Beach
before entering San Francisco's playground, Golden Gate Park. The park encompasses 1,017 acres, it is
three miles long, one-half mile wide, and stretches from the Pacific Ocean into the center of the city.
Home to many museums, gardens,and outdoor recreation activities, the park boasts 6,000 varieties
of plants. As you travel through the park, you will see the recently restored Conservatory of Flowers
and Japanese Tea Garden.| When? | How Often? | How Long? | From Where? | How Much? | |
