The tour departs from Union Square and heads along Geary St., past St. Mary's Cathedral and San Francisco's Japantown. From here we visit Alamo Square, home to the world famous "Painted Ladies" Victorian houses. The bus then whisks you towards the beautiful Golden Gate Park. Within the park you can visit such renowned attractions as the De Young Museum, Japanese Tea Gardens and the new multimillion dollar California Academy of Sciences which features an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum and more all under one "living" roof. On the return from Golden Gate Park, the bus visits the famous Haight Ashbury district then up to Alamo Square for a second time, passing directly in front of the "Painted Ladies" for a fantastic photo opportunity before visiting the Civic Centre and returning to Union Square.
