🕒 Breakfast, Mid morning

Enjoy a visit to six of San Francisco's iconic attractions

Modern Art, Cable Cars, and Hippies

Your tour will start at one of the biggest and best art museums in the US. Take your time to explore the colorful delights of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and then once you have worked up an appetite, hail a robotaxi to take you to the Ferry Building. Take your pick of one of the many restaurants, cafes and food outlets in this imposing, historic building.

Once your belly is full, take a robotaxi to the San Francisco Cable Car Museum and discover the history of the city's famous transportation system. You even get to see the cables themselves being pulled along. Another short robotaxi ride up the hills of the Golden City will take you to a masterpiece of modern architecture, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. The striking lines of this beautiful building are only matched by the colorful and radiant stained-glass that lines the soaring steeple.

Continue your tour in a robotaxi and check out the Painted Ladies, a terrace of adorable Victorian houses. Then another ride will take you into the heart of 1960's hippie culture, the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Walk along the famous Haight Street and take detours down the side streets, all the while feeling like you are being whisked back to the Summer of Love.
