Activity itinerary

Lombard Street (Pass by)

Known as "The Crooked Street," Lombard Street's eight tight hairpin turns are surrounded by beautiful homes and vibrant flowers, making it one of San Francisco’s most photographed landmarks.

Coit Tower

(Photo Stop) Pause to capture stunning views of the city and bay from Coit Tower, a historic landmark perched atop Telegraph Hill with murals and panoramic vistas.

North Beach (Pass by)

Discover the charm of North Beach, a lively area with a rich Italian-American history, famous for its nightlife, cafes, and literary landmarks.

Fisherman's Wharf (Pass by)

San Francisco’s classic waterfront—Dungeness crab stands, sourdough bakeries, and sea lions at Pier 39, plus historic ships, street performers, and quirky museums like Musée Mécanique. Bustling vibes and big Bay views towards Alcatraz and the Golden Gate—iconic SF, start to finish

Ghirardelli Square (Pass by)

A historic chocolate factory turned brick-and-string-light plaza by the Bay. Grab a classic hot-fudge sundae, browse local shops and tasting rooms, and enjoy waterfront views of Alcatraz and Aquatic Park—sweet, scenic, and quintessentially San Francisco.

Fort Mason (Pass by)

A former Army port turned waterfront arts-and-park campus. Historic piers and brick warehouses now host galleries, theatres, and tasty pop-ups, while the Great Meadow slopes to the Bay with postcard views of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz. Lively, local, and perfectly San Francisco.

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre

A dreamy lakeside rotunda and sweeping colonnades, born from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. Swans on the lagoon, towering palms, and classical arches create a timeless, romantic scene—one of San Francisco’s most beloved bits of old-world grandeur

Presidio of San Francisco (Pass by)

A former US Army post turned 1,500-acre national park where wild coastline meets the city. Think cypress forests, coastal bluffs, and sweeping Golden Gate Bridge views, plus historic brick barracks, parade grounds, and bayfront Crissy Field. It’s SF’s backyard—rich history, big scenery, and that salty-air, park-meets-ocean vibe.

Golden Gate Bridge

San Francisco’s signature silhouette—International Orange towers, soaring cables, and sweeping views where the Pacific meets the Bay. Expect bite-size stories of bold 1930s engineering, fog lore, and why this Art Deco icon still steals the show—no matter the weather.

Pacific Heights

San Francisco’s hilltop showpiece, grand Victorians and Beaux-Arts mansions on “Billionaire’s Row,” leafy streets, and chic Fillmore boutiques and cafés. Known for sweeping views of the Golden Gate, Alcatraz, and the Bay, it blends old-world glamour with modern city life—an elegant, unmistakably San Francisco area.

Marina District (Pass by)

Breezy waterfront vibes, joggers on the Marina Green, and sailboats in the harbour—plus chic cafés and boutiques along Chestnut & Union. Mediterranean-style homes and Art Deco touches frame views of the Golden Gate and the Palace of Fine Arts. Born from the 1915 world’s fair, it now hums with upbeat, beach-town energy

Chinatown (Pass by)

Explore the vibrant streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown, one the oldest and one of the largest in the US, known for its colourful architecture, bustling shops, and rich cultural heritage.

Russian Hill (Pass by)

Experience breathtaking views and historic charm in Russian Hill, an iconic area filled with steep streets, lush greenery, and hidden stairways.

Little Italy (Pass by)

Immerse yourself in San Francisco’s Little Italy, a area bursting with authentic Italian culture, charming cafes, and some of the city’s best restaurants and bakeries.
