Landmarks from the Bay to the Bridge

Your tour starts at the famous Coit Tower, one of the city's most enduring icons. Take the elevator up to the observation platform and enjoy the view from downtown, across the bay and even as far as the Golden Gate Bridge. After your birds eye view, take a robotaxi to one of the highlights of Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39. Browse the shops, delight in the amusements and pay a visit to the bay's most beloved residents, the sealions.

Enjoy a meal at the Fog Harbour Fish House, savouring San Francisco's notable seafood, before hailing a robotaxi and travelling to the top of the crazy hairpin bends of Lombard Street. Walk down one of the world's most memorable streets, while enjoying the view and being amused at the procession of cars that slowly wind their way down this feat of engineering. At the bottom of this street section, hail another robotaxi and drive to your next stop, the Palace of Fine Arts.

Wander around the awe-inspiring Palace of Fine Arts site, soaking in the classical architecture set perfectly behind a beautiful pond, before exploring the buildings up close. After what will feel like being transported back to classical times, hail another robotaxi and head to the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center. Learn more about this astounding feat of engineering, before shopping for a souvenir or two, and then view the Golden Gate Bridge in all its majesty.
