Experience

Your tour will start at the Aquarium of the Bay, where you can walk amongst sharks and learn about the bay’s fascinating ecosystem. From there, discover the shops, amusements and even sun-lounging sealions along the length of Pier 39. Before leaving the pier, make sure to pay a visit to The Flyer San Francisco and 7D Experience and enjoy an exhilarating virtual flying tour and an heart-pounding multi-sensory video game. Take a short walk to the oldest business in San Francisco, the Boudin Bakery & Cafe, and enjoy a well-deserved lunch, making sure to have a nibble of their famous sourdough bread. Once satiated, hail a robotaxi and take the drive along to The Presidio. At The Presidio, pay a visit to the fascinating Walt Disney Family Museum, where you can learn about the amazing life of the legendary animator. From the museum, it’s only a brief walk to the Presidio Tunnel Tops, where all the family can either chill out or let off some energy in this spectacular park.
