2-Day San Francisco Tour from Los Angeles - San Francisco Out
3.0
1 reviews
Overall, we had a good experience with the tour, would like to compliment our tour guide Albert for being so efficient, flexible, accommodating and truly looking after his group, the disappointment part is during the booking process in which on my initial booking the kids were free of charge, the booking went thru but after few weeks, i received an email that we have to pay additional 286usd for 2 kids (same rate as adults) we were left with no choice but to pay the extra 286usd. It was like we didnt have any choice but to pay. On the first day of the trip, from LA to SFO, we have to transfer bus half way which is a bit hassle, and lastly the driver was rude. They kept arguing with the tour guide as if it was just the first time they did the tour regarding the drop off points, his voice was too loud speaking in mandarin, which was disturbing to us.

Itinerary
From the humble origins of a small fishing village known as Yerba Buena, San Francisco grew rapidly due to the California gold rush starting in 1848. Devastated by the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was rebuilt quickly. Long enjoying a bohemian reputation, the city became a counterculture magnet in the second half of the 20th century. From Art Deco to The Grateful Dead, and the center of the dot-com boom at the end of the century, there has never been a dull moment in this picturesque city by the Bay.
Upon departing Los Angeles, our first destination is the Pyramid Lake (except Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year) where we will visit the museum to see records of the four great ancient floods and modern conservation of the lake. Then we will stop at the outlets at Tejon Ranch. We will arrive in San Francisco in the evening.
