See the sights in one of the world's most famous cities, known for its diversity, music, art and eclectic atmosphere. You'll travel to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, the most iconic bridge in the world. Pass by some of the best landmarks and enjoy a few photo stops. Then you'll get to see the city from the bay on a 1-hour bay cruise that will take you under the bridge where you can enjoy the skyline from the water, and get a closer look of the infamous Alcatraz island prison.
If you are in town either before or after your cruise, you'll be picked up at your hotel in a state of the art, air-conditioned motor coach. If you are arriving into San Francisco as a port of call on your cruise, then your meeting point is near the pier. Once you are checked in then you're off to the Golden Gate Bridge. You'll travel up to the Twin Peaks, which are two mountains in the geographic center of the city that give you a 360 view. Be sure to have your camera, you won't want to miss these photo opportunities. Whether it is a clear day or one with the famous fog rolling in, the views cannot be beat.
You'll have a stop at Golden Gate Park that is filled with stunning foliage, many art displays, and interesting sculptures. Set up to compliment the city itself, you'll notice the Victorian touches of the pavilions and the artful pathways through the carefully landscaped scenery. There are good reasons that over 13 million visit this park per year, it is beautiful.
Then you will get back on the tour bus and pass by some of the beautiful Victorian homes that are built on unbelievably steep and hilly streets. Of course, no trip to San Francisco is complete without viewing Chinatown and the Fisherman's Wharf, each holding their own attractions, but almost impossible to believe they are part of the same city. Pass by Union Square where just about every top label retailer can be found along with multitudes of cafes and restaurants. See Nob Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Presidio Park and much more.
After all these sights on land, it will be time for your 1-hour bay cruise where you'll travel underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, get a close look at the infamous island prison of Alcatraz and see the skyline of San Francisco from a different perspective. Do not forget your camera! You might even see some of the resident sea lions. This portion of the excursion will be narrated in 16 languages (via headphones) so everyone can enjoy. The boat is spacious and comfortable with two levels.
Once this great excursion and tour comes to an end, you will be dropped back off at your meeting point with the knowledge that you've seen the real San Francisco, enjoy!
