San Francisco Tours

San Francisco is one of the great cities in the United States - it is small enough to feel downright charming in some places, yet big enough to be diverse and incredibly multi-cultural. And if it were not for all the bloody hills, it might even be considered a truly walkable city! Still, it is one of the few European-style US cities that is really a pleasure to visit - and it is even more so if you book one of these San Francisco tours during your stay.

Many of these San Francisco tours are guided tours of the city's major sights - including the famous prison island of Alcatraz, the tourist-centric Fisherman's Wharf, the ethnic neighborhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy, and of course a trip on one of the city's streetcars. There are some great hop-on/hop-off bus tours listed here, which offer you the ultimate flexibility to spend as much time as you want at each stop.

But if you are staying in the city for awhile and want a break from the concrete jungle, then there is something here for you as well. Among the city-based San Francisco tours listed here you will also find some great day-trips that include stops at the beautiful Muir Woods, the incomparable Redwoods, the stunning Yosemite National Park, and even the nearby Napa Valley wine country. There really are more options than you could pack into your trip.

One great option with the city-based San Francisco tours is to take one early in your trip so that you get a feel for the city early on. Then you can explore more easily on your own later on, with an understanding of the layout of the city and an idea of places you might want to spend more time in. And those tours also let you check some things off your to-do list that you never have to see again!
