San Francisco Tour Selection Trips

San Francisco may only be 7 miles across at it's widest points, but it packs a punch. Plan at least 2 to 3 days to see everything.
Hills! The city is full of them, and some are incredibly steep. Wear comfortable walking shoes to explore the city.
San Francisco has a large LGBT community, and is widely considered one of the most welcoming cities in the world to those who live "alternative lifestyles".
The city of San Francisco is surrounded on all sides by incredible places - don't miss out on wine country to the north, Berkeley and Oakland to the East, and Half Moon Bay to the south.
