Driving Tour Itinerary:

Haight-Ashbury

Flash back to those happy hippy days of the 60s. Unique and eclectic Haight-Ashbury is full of retro vintage shops, shabby chic shops and Victorian houses.

Locals call it “Punk Rock Paradise” and “The blast from the past”. The vibe of the city is still here, as well as tattoos, hippies and smoke.

Mission District

• Like New York's version of Brooklyn – fun, diverse, trendy and friendly. It also has a deep, ethic history, art and an excellent choice of local authentic restaurants. Numerous murals and vintage sights of this old neighborhood will delight your eyes. The right place to watch hip people, street entertainers and soak up the atmosphere. The Mission is the oldest area of the city, and yet one of the most vibrant.

The Castro District

Relaxed and lively, calm and gentle, laid back, yet fun atmosphere.

Eccentric Castro is not an ordinary tourist attraction. The Castro is pretty much a mix of everything: brightly colored homes, mosaic glass artwork, sex toys, family restaurants, free people and rainbow references.

And remember: your visit to San Francisco is not complete without visiting the Castro. 

Twin Peaks

One of the top things to do in San Francisco according to TripAdvisor.

Come here for the best views of San Francisco both at daytime and sunset.

Twin Peaks is off-the-beaten path and is one of the best drives through steep and windy roads with breathtaking views high above the whole city and great for panoramic shots.

Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park is certainly a Top 10 San Francisco attraction.

A huge park in the middle of the city with lots to do and explore, you may choose this as your drop-off destination.

Visit the unique Japanese Tea Garden, ride bikes and segways, have a pleasant walk in the Botanical Gardens or the Conservatory of Flowers ($5 entrance fee), experience the special The California Academy of Sciences, reflect on life in National AIDS Memorial Garden and take in incredible art at the deYoung Museum.

Baker Beach

A lovely and historic place to absorb the beauty of SF. Drive through the beautiful Sea Cliff neighborhood or Presidio for SF's rugged coast with spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are cozy nooks to relax with some solitude right in the middle of The City. Bundle up if you are going for a stroll!

Golden Gate Bridge

The #1 tourist attraction in the U.S. and a must see.  You can’t say you visited San Francisco without setting foot on Golden Gate Bridge.

The bridge is perfect for photographers and the views are always amazing with or without San Francisco's fog. By the way, San Francisco is sometimes called Fog City, so consider yourself lucky if you catch one of those foggy days, as it is local specialty.  We’d say the fog makes it even more romantic and surreal experience.

You will hear a lot of fun facts about the bridge, its story and how it got its name. 

Presidio National Park

Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city in this unique section of San Francisco. The Presidio is a former military base, and today it is the headquarters of Star Wars' Lucas Films, the Walt Disney Family Museum, beaches, and food festivals, as well as the home of the oldest building in California.

Nob Hill/Russian Hill

Nob Hill and Russian Hill are extremely hilly and fabulously historic. These hills are a classic San Francisco, and the great vistas in the city. Nob Hill is one of San Francisco's original "Seven Hills." Nob Hill was once a place of elitism and was dubbed Snob Hill.

It is home to Grace Cathedral and the crooked Lombard Street. Hidden treasures are all over the place and wait to be discovered.

For a good workout, try walking or running up and down the hills.

Coit Tower

Come here to the top of SF for the scenic views of San Francisco. The sunlight observation deck gives you 360-degree views of the city and bay. No surprisingly, SF has one more nickname – City by the Bay. 210-foot (64 m).   

The tower has a fantastic location - a vigorous hike up the steep streets of San Francisco. Feel the clean breeze from the hill. And enjoy an architectural design and the murals adorning the walls inside the tower. ($8 fee to get to the top).

Coit Tower is located in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, which is one of San Francisco's 44 hills, and one of its original "Seven Hills". Apart from Coit Tower, Telegraph Hill is widely known for its gardens flowing down Filbert Street down to Levi Plaza.

Alamo Square & Painted Ladies

Alamo Square is a four block city park, the magic land of San Francisco full of steep hills, pastel colors of the homes and beautiful lawns.

Home of the 1870's Victorian era Painted Ladies, also known as "The Seven Sisters" and gingerbread homes.  These homes have been used as backdrops for many movie scenes and TV show including "Full House". An amazing photo op!
