Your San Francisco walking tour starts at the Golden Gate Bridge, where you can stroll out for panoramic views of the bay and city skyline (barring San Franciscos famous fog, of course). Listen as your guide points out notable features and shares the history of this world-renowned bridge, constructed in 1937.Then begin your leisurely hike along the citys rugged, hilly Pacific coastline while pelicans soar overhead and barges glide past in the bay. When you see the Golden Gate Bridge come back into view, capture postcard-perfect images from different angles with your camera. Walk along the sandy shore of Baker Beach, and take a break to chat with fishermen casting lines into the sea. Then climb the steps into Sea Cliff, one of San Francisco’s most exclusive neighborhoods, and admire plentiful mansions with their manicured gardens and fine architecture. You can also enjoy clifftop views of the crashing surf from lookout spots such as Eagle’s Point. Follow the trail down to the Pacific’s edge to explore the ruins of the Sutro Baths at Land’s End, now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Learn about the concrete remains of the former glass enclosure that once boasted seven indoor swimming pools, created by wealthy entrepreneur and former San Francisco mayor Adolph Sutro in 1896.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingNot wheelchair accessibleDue to the distance and challenging terrain of the hike (including hills, stairs and sand), children aged 5 years and younger are not permitted on this tourTour runs rain or shineIt is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes or hiking boots and dress in layersIt is recommended that you bring waterInclusionsProfessional guideExclusionsHotel pickup and drop-offFood or drinks, unless specified (bring your own water and snacks)Gratuities (recommended)Departure PointBridge Cafe, located across from the Welcome Center in the Golden Gate Bridge Southeast Visitor AreaDeparture Time1:30pmDuration4 hoursReturn DetailsConcludes at Cliff HouseV
