PICKUP POINTSan Francisco is located halfway between Seattle and San Diego, or London and Tokyo, and is one of the most exciting and spectacular cities in the United States. It baffles with its rich history and cultural scene and will leave you in awe.
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle.
The tour will begin at the Civic Plaza, where the central city, state, and federal offices are located. Next, you will discover the City Hall, the City Library, San Francisco’s Opera and Ballet theaters, and the famous Davies Symphony Hall. Right after, you will go to Saint Mary’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of modern architecture, a peaceful bubble in the heart of a city full of life and excitement. We will then move on to the seashore, where the popular Cliff House scenic overlook towers over the City Beach and the remains of the Sutro Baths, a 19th-century world wonder.
Your next stop will be at Golden Gate Park, a giant park built in 1880 on the mesmerizing dunes of San Francisco. The landscape features Dutch-style windmills, grazing buffaloes, an original Japanese tea garden, a futuristic museum of Eastern Art, and the oldest glass-and-wood Victorian greenhouse, a perfect replica of the memorable 19th-century London attraction.
After that, you will be taken to Lincoln Park. On the way there, you will pass the largest Orthodox Church and then go to the scenic overlook of the Golden Gate Bridge and, even further, to the Legion of Honor Art Museum. You will continue the tour through expensive neighborhoods that will take you to the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. If the weather permits, you will walk a part of the bridge. This spot overlooks the Bay, downtown San Francisco, and the infamous Alcatraz Island.
Next, you will visit the Palace of Fine Arts, the most peculiar building in San Francisco, full of secrets and mystery. We will drive over the city’s steepest hills, including the “most crooked street in America”: Lombard Street, best known for its one-way section on Russian Hill. Finally, the last stop of your tour will be at Telegraph Hill, a scenic overlook of downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge, another architectural masterpiece of this magical city.

Only having 1 1/2 in San Francisco this tour was perfect. We had an amazing tour guide Trish. She took us to all the known and lesser-known sights which was excellent. She tailor made the tour to suit us and our two young children. She was full of knowledge. Definitely recommend this tour or another tour with this company (we used their services for 3 times in different cities). Thank you so much.

I called USA VIP TOURS at 5:30 pm on a Sunday to see about a private tour for that evening. They arranged everything, picked me up from my hotel and took me on an evening tour of this amazing city. The guide Michael knows the history of this city so well and I found her so easy to talk with and learned so much from him. A really lovely evening. Thank you, guys!
