This was a lovely photo stop. This probably was the best part of the day for me. We then drove out to Golden Gate Park. You could have gone into a Japanese tea garden if you paid $4 in and then $4 for tea and a biscuit. We decided not to and instead went for a walk around the gardens as we had about half and hour to spare. The Golden Gate Park had beautiful botanical gardens with ...
Advantages: See the city in one day Disadvantages: We didn't have enough time to do all the tour
...a special one to the Golden Gate Bridge.
***What Do They Offer***
Well, obviously we zoned in on San Francisco but there are a number of cities you can choose from and this company works on a worldwide scale. So whether it's the castle in Edinburgh or whale watching and snorkelling in Maui, there really is something for everyone.
The offer we decided on was the Double Decker & Alcatraz combo tour for $61 each. This means that you can book your ... ...the tour loops to the Golden Gate Bridge and Presidio, which also stops at the Museum of Fine Arts, and have 48 hour passes for the hop on/hop off City Tour, which starts at Fisherman's Wharf and loops all the way to Union Square and round to Pier 33 via Chinatown.
As we were only spending two nights in San Francisco we thought this would be an excellent way to see as much as possible without having to think about trams or buses etc.
***Ordering ...
Advantages: V. informative tour, great views, relatively inexpensive Disadvantages: A lot of walking, no food on the island
...San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so if you do get a chance to visit but can only do one thing then I would definitely recommend the Alcatraz island and prison visit. Alcatraz is situated off Pier 39 and to get there you need to use the ferry service. This is about $25 dollars. There is no fee once you get to the island/prison as it is a State Monument. During the summer though the tickets book out quickly so I would ... ...so I would recommend getting the early ferry as you have no time limit and can come back whenever you want. There is no food on the island so you will have to take some with you. Beware, it can also be cold, even during the summer because the wind whips around there so take a light jacket as well.
The tour is organised perfectly. You get audio packs so you can listen to all the information about the prison, you also walk around at your own pace ...
Advantages: A remake and inspirational production Disadvantages: Nothing except that it is not showing in West End
...in the US. Having spent a long holiday in California, I had the opportunity to watch this phenomenal stage production before it will be scheduled to open in Broadway late of last year.
A Chorus Line is a 1975 Broadway production that captured more than six million people worldwide during its 15 years run. I was lucky enough to witness its first revival shows in San Francisco's Curran Theater. It was a last minute decision to watch on the last few ... ...difficulty to secure a good seat at $45 in the balcony section of the theatre.
This legendary Tony Awardee's musical is a story based upon the lives and experiences of a group of Broadway dancers auditioning for the chorus of a new show. A group of girls and boys tried their luck to take part in the long exhausting process of selection by telling their personal stories - their talents, their families, their dreams and their fears to make it in the ...

Review of A Chorus Line
Advantages: lots of shops Disadvantages: lots of homeless people beggin
Union square is a pedestrianised square which has artists and street entertainers. Surrounding the square there is Macys, levi store, the Disney store and saks (and other boutiques!) There are also a number of other shops a short walk off the roads off union square (Old Navy, Virgin, H&M). This area is great if you like shopping. and it is easy to get to. The old cable cars run up one side of the square (along Powell), there is a bus stop in Geary ... ...ticket from the airport to union square costing $5.15 single journey.
There are a number of places to eat in the area - alot are quitre gimmicky and for the tourist (with characters such as betty boo and Charlie chaplin dancing outside). As a result the prices are quite high. A short walk away from the square there are a number of diners - where the prices come down a bit ( for example a breakfast buritto (very large!) and cup of tea is about $10)
