Experience

Your tours starts at Grandview Park, where you can get spectacular views of the city, from Ocean Beach over to Downtown. Once you have taken in the sights, head back down the hill and take a robotaxi to Mount Davidson. Hike up the city’s highest point and immerse yourself in San Francisco’s beautiful skyline. Carry on down the hill and take a robotaxi to your next stop, Bernal Heights. Start your ascent of Bernal Heights by taking the stairs up to the trail, which winds its way up to the peak. Wonder at the Mission District spread out before you, then descend back down and get picked up by your robotaxi, which will whisk you away to the neighborhood you have just surveyed. Treat yourself to something from Rhea Deli’s popular sandwich counter and stock up on some picnic items before walking round to the southern tip of Dolores Park. Enjoy your picnic while enjoying the eye-catching views of Downtown.
