With its rich history that spans practically every major era of the history of the USA, there is a fascinating array of San Francisco tours available that will allow you to get a real insight into the history of the city and the people who call it home.

One of the most important parts of the city’s history was the gold rush of 1849 that brought huge numbers of prospectors to the area in order to look for Gold. This gold rush gave the name to the city’s main NFL team, and the idea of the frontier is still very much in the hearts of the locals. Of course more recently, the rush to the city has been for the Silicon revolution, and there are also tours of San Francisco that will show your inner geek the principal places where the major technology companies such as Apple and Google were based when they started.

In the landscapes around San Francisco you will find some of the main wine making regions of the USA. You can arrange tours of the Californian wine making regions that will allow you to experience the whole wine making process and spend time tasting the latest vintage. These tours can be an afternoon, or a weekend, giving you the chance to spend time staying in one of the wineries.

There are a number of different boat trips through San Francisco bay that allow you to see the city from the water, as well as visiting the famous Prison island of Alcatraz, sail under the Golden Gate Bridge, and visit the neighboring city of Oakland.

One of these expert locals will give you the best advice about where to find the bargains, and what outfits look really good on you. At the end of the day you will be able to enjoy a whole new wardrobe, and thanks to the relatively low price of shopping in the city, you will save a fortune on the prices that you might have had to pay elsewhere.
