Vacation Day 2: Thursday - Fisherman's Wharf Walking Tour - Explore Alcatraz - Little Italy Dinner
fishermans wharf pictureIn its early days, San Francisco was the West Coast hub of fishing and shipping. When the city was growing up, hundreds of fishermen would gather at Fisherman’s Wharf in the morning, earn their day’s catch, and meet back here in the evening. On our Fisherman’s Wharf walking tour, we will see Ghirardelli Square, home of the legendary chocolate maker, the world famous San Francisco cable car, and get a behind-the-scenes look into how Fisherman’s Wharf really operates. Also see The Balclutha, an 1800s-era clipper ship famous for appearing in the movie Mutiny on the Bounty.
Then we will walk along the Embarcadero, originally known as the Barbary Coast with a rich history that dates back to the Gold Rush. The Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is located here and is our lunch stop. The market is open three days a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays: with the Thursday market featuring an array of artisan street food: wood-fired pizza, grilled meats, sandwiches, and tacos.
AlcatrazThis afternoon we travel to Alcatraz, the former federal prison that once held notorious criminals Scarface Al Capone and George 'Machine Gun' Kelly, a national historic landmark and one of the most sought-out attractions in the Bay Area. Tour the remains of the maximum-security facility on small and windy Alcatraz Island, aptly nicknamed 'The Rock,'. Visit the grounds and cell-house; hear stories from former inmates; and pass by the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, and Angel Island on our 1.25-mile ferry ride in and out. Once on the island, we can explore at our own pace, with the self-guided cell-house audio tour.
Tonight enjoy our Welcome Dinner in the neighborhood known as North Beach or LIttle Italy.

 

Vacation Day 3: Friday - San Francisco City Tour - Murir Woods and Sausalito

We stop at the Japanese Tea Garden to experience the natural beauty, tranquility and harmony of a Japanese-style garden. Then we drive down city streets lined with colorful Victorian and Queen Anne homes that San Francisco is known for. Hear from our guide about the area’s history, from the American Indians to Spanish settlers to the Gold Rush. Other sights we’ll see include the Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio (a former Army post and now a national park site), Fisherman’s Wharf, and the neighborhoods of Chinatown and North Beach. Look out at Alcatraz Island, and stop at Twin Peaks (weather permitting) for a panoramic view that can’t be beat.

After crossing the impressive Golden Gate Bridge, we'll stop for a view of San Francisco from Vista Point, before driving through the coastal mountains to Muir Woods. This national monument is the site of a virgin forest of California Coast redwood trees, among the oldest and tallest on earth. Take the opportunity to roam through an ancient forest of giant redwood trees on our 75-minute visit of Muir Woods. Our tour also takes us to Sausalito, a quaint Mediterranean-style seaside village.
