San Francisco, CaliforniaSunday - Friday, September 21 - 26, 2003

We have fallen in love with walking in San Francisco. While it is out of the norm for us to walk in a city, we find this to be a fascinating exception. We see well-known sights and walk through lesser known parts of the city too. We might even find some grand stairways in our path.

ITINERARY

Walk the Coastal Trail, from Fisherman’s Wharf through the Presidio and across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.

Explore the Golden Gate and Ocean Beach areas. See some newly renovated, as well as older, historical areas of the city. Enjoy a morning walk to Mission Dolores.

Ferry to Alcatraz, with its historical significance and outstanding city views.

Top it all off by going north to Muir Woods and Marin County for a day.

We stay in the European-style San Remo Hotel, just a hop, skip and jump from Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach and Chinatown. This promises to be five days of exciting walking, filled with interests for all and plenty of fun.

Tour includes lodging, breakfasts, three lunches, two dinners, local transport, admissions, ferry trip and guided hiking. Tour Fee: $1195 (all rooms single - 2 persons sharing room discounted). Tour deposit: $600.

Reservation deadline: July 15, at which time the full fee is due.
