San Francisco Golden Gate
Overview
San Francisco is a city of fog, hills, sourdough, and spectacular bridges. In five days you'll cross the Golden Gate on foot, ride a cable car to Fisherman's Wharf, ferry out to Alcatraz, cycle through the Presidio, and explore the Mission's vibrant mural district. Our local guide also takes you into the tech-meets-bohemian neighbourhoods that make SF one of the world's most interesting cities.

Frequently Asked Questions
When are the Golden Gate views clearest?
September and October are the clearest months. Mornings can be foggy (the famous Karl the Fog) — your guide picks the best viewing time.
Is the Alcatraz tour suitable for kids?
Yes, though the audio tour does describe the prison history. Most children find it fascinating rather than frightening.
