Itinerary: San Francisco City Tour
By this time, I had a feeling that my party of three boys were experiencing 'holiday overload'. Hence, I had to find a way to see SFo in a short amount of time with as little walking as possible.
There are numerous city tours on offer. A one to two hour tour could only take you around downtown SFo, not enough for my liking. A 'hop-on hop-off' tour is attractive but involves walking. Finally, I found Grayline's 3.5 hour City Tour which had the right elements and included my minimum requirement - a trip to Twin Peaks. You haven't done SFo if you don't do Twin Peaks.
Twin Peaks afford a 360 degree view of beautiful San Francisco.
The tour will take you to the Golden Gate Bridge at both ends, a glimpse of the Presidio and the crooked street, around the Golden Gate Park, Union Square, China Town and many more. The tour could extend longer than the allowed time during traffic. So don't arrange anything close to the end of the 3.5 hours. You might not make it.
Outside of the tour, do try to walk the Golden Gate Bridge even for a few yards. It is such a magnificent display of structural engineering, not to mention that it has my favorite color.
Trivia: a team of painters paint the bridge from one end to the other year round. By the time they finish painting its length, it is time to start over again.
I can't wait to see the icon of SF.
