Experience SF like never before on this morning tour. Our journey begins near the Embarcadero in downtown. We ride the cable car to Nob Hill, known for its historic mansions from the Gold Rush era.
Next, we hop on another cable car to San Francisco City Hall (or the Cable Car Museum during the weekends). We explore the grandeur of this iconic building before heading to Castro via the historic streetcar. Castro is renowned for its significance in LGBTQ+ history. A brief stroll takes us to Mission Dolores Park, a beautiful green space in the city.
The Mission district, considered the founding location of SF, has a rich history that you’ll discover throughout our visit. Our next destination is Haight-Ashbury by bus. This region is synonymous with the hippie generation and the Summer of Love.
