The cocktails are expertly made, there is excellent live entertainment, and the clientele is nothing less than well-to-do. Expect excellent service and an experience that's nothing less than stellar.

Leave the work of planning an all-inclusive tour of San Francisco to the experts at San Francisco Comprehensive Shuttle Tours. This tour is regarded by many visitors as one of the best deals in town as it is the only small group shuttle tour that provides a separate tour guide (not the driver) to point out areas of interest and to answer your questions. Their two most popular packages are a 5-hour comprehensive tour with ferry cruise that includes such sites as Grace Cathedral, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Chinatown; and a two-hour tour that drives by the famous sites with no stops and includes views of Coit Tower, Crissy Field, and the financial district. Either way, you're sure to see it all without the stress of having to get there yourself!

For a look back that stretches all the way to the nation's colonial period, check out the awe-inspiring exhibits at the de Young Museum. This venue was first opened in 1895 and holds the distinction of being the city's oldest, most diversified museum. Even though it was remodeled in 2005 and several of its exhibits were updated, it still stands as one of the world's most fascinating collections of African, Oceanic, and pan-American art. This is highly worth checking out!

Golden Gate Park is nearly as iconic as the bridge it is named for. This incredibly beautiful swath of land is lush, inviting and peaceful. The park is the perfect place for a quiet outdoor picnic, scenic walk or just sitting and enjoying the exceptional views. On a larger scale, this park features 1,000 acres of gardens, meadows, lakes, and even a golf course, along with internationally recognized art and science museums. In short, the park offers something special for both locals and visitors who not only love nature, but the whole experience of being in San Francisco as well.
