San Francisco (& Alameda) HOLIDAY LIGHTS Tour
This year why not make a GIFT (to your children, family, BFFs, neighbor) of
​something that's unique and un-forgettable?​

CALL Or E-Mail TODAY...To BOOK or Discuss

     “Tis the Season to be Jolly!” So for $330 (not per-person) for individuals or groups
 up to 7, you may spend 4-5 hours enjoying…not worrying...about parking or traffic:       
 

The Skystar Ferris Wheel, panoramic views, and sea lion colony at Pier 39
The 2-story life-size Gingerbread House inside the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill
...plus Holiday Tea if we schedule far enough in advance. Want to get there by cable car? Just ask.
"Let's Glow SF" (while it lasts)

The traditional Christmas decorations inside the Palace Hotel (with Ghirardelli pop-up store)
Union Square’s giant Tree, Menorah and ice-skating rink 
plus the adoptable pets and quaint window displays at
Macy's   


Alameda’s "Christmas Tree Lane" where residents make special efforts to dress up their dozens of quaint houses and yards…a holiday tradition...sometimes Santa’s there too
The grounds of Oakland’s Mormon Temple, acres of a spectacular lighting display    
      You may have your own suggestions—Oakland’s elegant
Dunsmuir House, the Glow-fari at the Oakland Zoo next door.
 Often we end up at the famous Fenton’s Creamery, or Ghirardelli Square for ice cream or fudge. (For each hour beyond the originally planned 4-5, we add $75, NOT per-person.)

Which attractions interest you most? You CHOOSE, and we create an itinerary accordingly.
Or we can decide as we go. 


     Of course, all of our other year-round tours make great Gifts too. (The Holidays Tour, however, is only available between November 25 and New Year's Day.) A reliable forecast of heavy continuous rain is the primary reason any tour would be canceled; in fact, the only tours that don't work well with heavy rain/fog are Big Sur and West Marin.

This holiday season why not give (to your children, family, BFFs, neighbor)
an experience that's memorable and exceptional?
