What you’ll do

You’re never far from an activity we guarantee the whole family will love in San Francisco - in fact, we’d go so far as to say it’s got to be one of the most family-friendly cities in existence. If you don’t already, we guarantee you’ll agree with us in four hours’ time.

For the outdoorsy types among you, there’s plenty to keep active with - from clifftop hikes to quirky frisbee golf to roller discos (they still exist).

Or you could opt to explore the colorful street art of the Mission District and inspire those budding artists or hop on a vintage tram up San Francisco’s famously steep streets to the light (creamy ice cream) at the end of the tunnel.

Visit the belly-flopping sea lions who call Pier 39 home, be blown away by science at the Exploratorium, or revisit the spooky history of Alcatraz. Of course, we’ll throw in food stops whenever they’re necessary - from artisanal doughnuts to food truck tacos, we know your kids will love the fresh food here. At this rate, you might need a few more hours to explore.

    My husband and I find travelling with the kids challenging at the best of times, and we were surprised to see that a company offers a family friendly city experience. We weren't disappointed and more importantly the kids weren't bored once, they loved Gina and she was excellent with them. At the end of the experience she even advised us on the best place to get ice cream. Definitely worth every penny! We wouldn't have been able to do half the things we did if we hadn't booked this - and it would have been far more stressful!! This was a breeze!

    Malin was very professional and showed us different kind of food and places where the locals eat in Hong Kong. We also got to experience traveling in the subway and star ferry. The food was really good and we had a wonderful time. Malin has a very friendly smile and made us feel very comfortable. She was also very accommodating because we wanted to see the symphony of lights and she made that possible she did a fantastic job.
