San Francisco City Self-Guided Driving Tour: Golden Gate Bridge
What your day looks like
This San Francisco tour experience begins with the Painted Ladies, one of the city’s top attractions. These beautiful, colorful homes exemplify San Francisco‘s funky culture and are a great way to start your journey. From there, you’ll hear about the city’s unique history and how it became one of the most progressive cities around. Next, you’ll head into the city’s tech quarter, where you’ll spot big-name HQs like Uber and Twitter and get a crash course in how San Francisco became the go-to spot for the most cutting-edge tech produced anywhere. Then you’ll swing by the City Hall, which you might feel like you recognize because you probably do! Here, you’ll get the inside scoop on how the movie industry uses this building as a stand-in for Washington, D.C.’s Capitol building in all sorts of films. After that, buckle your seatbelts because you’re heading down Lombard Street, aka the most crooked street in the world! This picturesque, winding road has been another show biz staple for ages, but experiencing it for yourself is a whole different ball game. Next, you’ll climb Telegraph Hill to look at the famous Coit’s Tower and some truly unbeatable city views. While up there, you’ll learn to identify some of the most famous structures that make up San Francisco‘s skyline. Then it’s on to Chinatown and Manilatown, where you’ll hear about both historic districts’ long, embattled history. You’ll turn next onto Stockton Street and get a good look at something else you won’t see every day: cable cars. You’ll get to know their history and why these quirky little cars are still used today. At last, you’ll reach the beautiful waterfront, home to some of the best food and drink in San Francisco, not to mention astonishing views of the bay! Your San Francisco city day tour will conclude here, but that isn’t where the fun ends! Included with your San Francisco tour is a complimentary bonus tour of the Golden Gate Bridge. With the bonus tour, you’ll get up close and personal with that famous landmark and even drive across it for some killer views!
