Stop At: Lands End
El Camino del Mar, San Francisco, California
The Legion of Honor Museum (formally known as "The California Palace of the Legion of Honor") was a gift given to San Francisco by a legendary "Only in SF " character, Alma Sperckels (along with a great deal of the artwork inside, A lake, another museum , and the most iconic statue in SF!) . As we roll by, have a look through the pillars, and you'll spot one of the original "Thinkers" by the artist, Rodin. 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.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Golden Gate Park
San Francisco, California
After our trip back across the Bridge, we'll end up at Land's End Lookout - the most north-western point of SF, affording a spectacular view of the Pacific ocean, as well as the Golden Gate bridge - also, possibly, Snacks!

Duration: Not Available

Stop At: de Young Museum
50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California
Originally built in the 1890's, the renovated building featuring a living roof, and recycled denim insulation is the world's first "Double Platinum" winner for environmentally friendly structures. The interior of the museum, however, is what really sets it apart: it is among the largest museums of natural history in the world, housing over 46 million specimens, and would require a separate tour to really do it justice.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Japanese Tea Garden
75 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California
Sitting directly across the way from the Academy of Sciences, is the copper-clad de Young Museum, renowned both for its collections, and visiting shows. This museum is also a great way to spend an afternoon in the City.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Haight-Ashbury
San Francisco, California
The Japanese Tea Garden is holdover from the 1894 Midwinter Exposition, and has a unique history, well worth the retelling. History also locates it the most likely birthplace of that uniquely American contribution to world cuisine: The Fortune Cookie (yes, you read that correctly!).
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Painted Ladies
Steiner Street, Corner Hayes Street, San Francisco, California
Following a trip through Golden Gate Park, we step back in time to the Summer of Love, as we roll down Haight St. Famous for it's time as 'birthplace of the Hippies" in 1967 -The Haight is still a vibrant and thriving community, with coffee shops, boutiques, live music and more, to entertain both visitors and locals alike.
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Japantown
San Francisco, California
First introduced to a generation who grew up watching the tv show, "Full House", these iconic houses, also known as the "seven Sisters", are perhaps San Francisco's most well known buildings - they have been photographed more than any other structures in the City (The Bridge excepted) and really convey the colorful spirit that says "San Francisco".
Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: Nob Hill
San Francisco, California
As we head to Nob Hill, we swing past Japantown, (one of only 3 in the US). Nihonmachi, as it is also called, is a slice of tokyo in the middle of SF, and well worth an afternoon's exploration - it's attractions range from traditional Japanese cuisine, and Japanese markets, to handmade stationary and multiple Japanese pop culture shops,
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Chinatown
San Francisco, California
From City Hall, we go "Where Little Cable cars Climb Halfway to the Stars" and visit the statue of Tony Bennet in front of the Fairmont Hotel, where he first sang "I left My Heart in San Francisco" in 1961. Among other things to see, from atop Nob Hill are the City's own faux medieval masterpiece, Grace Cathedral, and the Mark Hopkins Hotel (the view from the penthouse lounge, The Top of The Mark, is likely the single best dinner view in the entire city).
Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: North Beach
San Francisco, California
This attraction is a personal favorite, and is truly worthy of an entire day's exploration :San Francisco's Chinatown. In addition to being the oldest, and most densely populated neighborhood in the City, is also the very *first* Chinatown in the world. Following the destruction of the original in 1906, the community decide to rebuild, but in a manner that would draw visitors into the area - they added "pagoda" style roofs, and incorporated traditional designs, and suddenly San Francisco had it's very first visitor attraction, and Chinese communities in cities around the world followed suit. As we drive through the area, we will see both the "public" side of Chinatown, as well as the more intimate "local side" Truly a highlight of the City.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Pacific Heights
2356 Pine St, , San Francisco, California
San Francisco's colorful Italian neighborhood is sometimes referred to as "Little Italy" which is incorrect - the locals all know it simply as North Beach: home to cafes, trattorias, and ristorantes. It's a great place for a fantastic dinner on a Friday or Saturday night.
