Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Upon picking you up we will waste no time and dive right into the tour with a stop at Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point. Located on the Sausalito side of the Golden Gate Bridge, this is a must-view site of San Francisco’s most iconic site. You will see a breathtaking view of the world's most famous bridge with San Francisco as its backdrop from two viewpoints as seen on many postcards.

Stop 2

Our next stop will the Palace of Fine Arts. Don’t forget your camera because this location is one of the most photographed sites in the city, featured in numerous film and TV productions. It’s also a popular wedding location and dazzling performance venue. Admire the Greco-Roman style Rotunda and colonnades, and watch swans drift across the peaceful lagoon.

Originally built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition, this urban temple has become a San Francisco treasure, beloved by residents and visitors alike.

Stop 3

Our next stop is Pier 39. We will drop you off and let you explore for 3 hours and a perfect time to have lunch at one of the many eateries.

Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built on a pier in San Francisco, California. At Pier 39, there are shops, restaurants, a video arcade, street performances, the Aquarium of the Bay, virtual 3D rides, and views of California sea lions hauled out on docks on Pier 39's marina. A two-story carousel is one of the pier's more dominant features, although it is not directly visible from the street and sits towards the end of the pier. The family-oriented entertainment and presence of marine mammals make this a popular tourist location for families with kids.

Stop 4

Next stop is Lombard Street, also known as the “Crookedest Street in the World," and is one of San Francisco’s most popular landmarks. Every year, millions of visitors walk or drive down its eight sharp hairpin turns. Surrounded by Russian Hill mansions and perfectly manicured landscaping and flowers, it is also one of the city’s most scenic streets. Take a spectacular photo at the bottom looking up or enjoy the breathtaking view from the top looking out onto the San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge and Coit Tower.

Stop 5

For our last stop we will take you to the Old Sutro Baths. For decades, the Sutro Baths were an iconic part of San Francisco and defined the grand vision that prominent San Franciscans had for their burgeoning city. It's worth visiting the ruins of the Sutro Baths, both for their rich history and breathtaking views. Take in the fresh air and breathtaking views of the Pacific Coast. The perfect end to the tour.
