Get lost in the winding streets of this cool city, situated on the Californian West Coast. Being a multicultural hub of North America, there are sights and sounds for every traveller: the historic prison cells of Alcatraz, the trendy shopping of Height/Ashbury, the bustle of China town, and the ringing trolley-car bells and squawking of sea lions at Fisherman’s wharf!
On arrival, you will be met & taken by private transfer to your San Francisco accommodation. Check-in, unpack and make yourself cozy; the next 4 days will be an experience to remember.
After a quick refresh, take the rest of the day at your leisure; stroll the streets, or dine on the wharf.
Today is yours to explore the city. San Francisco is known for its cool and quirky vibe and iconic landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge.
Wander through Union Square and grab a coffee whilst people watching, visit Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and Fishermans Wharf and make sure to take a walk to China Town, the largest Chinatown outside of Asia!
After breakfast, you’ll join your day tour of the city. Loop your way around the winding streets and pathways of San Fran, exploring the natural and architectural beauty of this laidback city. Later in the day head to Pier 33 and board your ferry to Alcatraz Island. Enjoy the 45 minute audio tour that escorts you passed the halls and cell blocks of the prison. Real inmates from Alcatraz’s glory days whisper rumours and stories into your ear as you stroll down the historic halls. Peering through the barred windows back to the city on the bay will have you questioning what life was really like for these inmates.
It is time to head for the airport by private transfer to meet your onward flight, and continue your adventure.
