Program details

Discover the highlights of San Francisco on this guided tour that takes you to the city’s most famous sights as well as some hidden gems off the tourist trail. See the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge, the picturesque Lombard Street, vibrant Fisherman’s Wharf and much more. Set off on a memorable cruise around the San Francisco Bay where you will sail past Fort Mason, Alcatraz Island, Crissy Field and even pass directly under the Golden Gate Bridge. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the unforgettable moments on this comprehensive tour.


Admire the sheer size and scale of the Golden Gate Bridge. Measuring 1.7 miles, it has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers and is approaching its 80th birthday. Proceed to Lombard Street, one of San Francisco’s most iconic streets with its steep hill, decorative flowers and tight hairpin bends. Featured in many movies such as Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”, the street is instantly recognizable.


Explore the popular Fisherman’s wharf district, home to the Aquarium of the Bay, Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. On the way between these tourists’ favourites your local guide will divert you to appreciate some of the city’s underappreciated gems that the majority of tours don’t cover.


Then climb aboard your boat and begin your hour-long cruise around San Francisco bay. Sail past all of the city’s most famous coastal attractions from Aquatic Park to Hyde Street Pier, Angel Island to Telegraph Hill, before passing the infamous Alcatraz Island, once the isolated home of America’s most violent and dangerous criminals. Then cruise right underneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Look straight up to take in a unique view of this breathtaking structure.
