Route/Attractions:

1.Fisherman's Wharf
The tour begins and ends at Fisherman's Wharf, an iconic and vastly entertaining neighborhood, with a rich history, and a great spot to grab lunch after the tour!

2.Pier 39
Almost immediately, we take a turn around Pier 39, the second most popular attraction in California, and home to the City's loudest residents - the sea lions!

3.Ghirardelli Square
Once home to a sprawling Chocolate Empire, Ghiradelli Square is now a prime shopping spot, and one of the best places in SF to get a proper Ghiradelli Hot Fudge Sundae.

4.Lombard Street
This point of interest is one of the City's most popular: the famous "Crookedest Street in the World". In addition to being generally very crowded, Lombard is closed to most tour vehicles, but we will take a quick spin down the 8 hairpin turns (though maybe not at "Bullitt" speed).

5.Pacific Heights
As we make our way towards the Golden Gate Bridge, we take a quick swing through Pacific Heights, home to some of the biggest mansions, the best views, and a home made famous by a nanny named Mrs.Doubtfire.

6.Yoda fountain
Upon entering the Presidio, we are treated to a brief photo stop at the statue of legendary Jedi Master Yoda, which is located at the Letterman Digital Arts Center (Lucasfilm): Paul, your guide has a lot to say about this - he worked there for years!

7.Palace of Fine Arts
Our last point of interest before the bridge is a drive-by viewing of a majestic relic of the 1915 World's Fair, the Palace of Fine Arts. Featured in countless movies and TV shows, this icon is truly a breathtaking feature of the SF landscape.

8. Golden Gate Bridge
Once we cross the most-photographed bridge in the world, guests will have the opportunity to stretch their legs, and take some photos of the world class views!

9. Sausalito
From the Golden Gate Bridge, we drop into the quiet beauty of Sausalito, the Bay's own Mediterranean-type enclave of houseboats, hillsides and some of the most scenic views of the Bay, generally sunny, even on the foggiest of days!

10. The Legion of Honor Museum

We do a brief photo stop just outside the museum at what is possibly the most stunning vista of the Golden Gate Bridge, literally between holes at the Presidio Golf Course.
