Dying to join this spirited and entertaining tour of haunted San Diego? Hop aboard the Trolley of the Doomed to explore the birthplace of California.

Traveling by motorcoach, you'll head out along the waterfront Embarcadero and through the historical downtown area. Watch for the Victorian façades of the Gas Lamp Quarter.

Head into the rolling hills and mountains of Temecula to enjoy a relaxing day in one of California's premier wine-growing regions. For the past 50 years, the wineries here have pursued perfection both of well-known grape varietals and of some unusual and interesting Mediterranean varietals. Temecula is home to the largest concentration of wineries in southern California.

See the best of San Diego on land and in the water. Take your seat on the San Diego Seal Tour—an adventure that includes the most interesting sights on land and then heads straight into the bay without missing a beat or moving from your seat. The Seal is an open-air amphibious vehicle driven by an experienced captain and specially designed to be used on land and in the water. Each Seal is Coast Guard-approved and meets all passenger vehicle and department of transportation requirements to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone on board. Your 90-minute journey begins on the streets of San Diego and is narrated by the first mate, who lives in and loves San Diego and has a vast knowledge of things to do and see. You’ll hear about San Diego’s rich history and see the Maritime Museum where the Star of India—the oldest active sailing vessel in the world—is docked. Watch for the U.S.S. Midway, Lindbergh Field, Little Italy and many other San Diego attractions. Your tour then takes a fascinating turn as you drive straight into San Diego Bay. Gliding past resident San Diego sea lions, California brown pelicans, and several other wildlife species that call the bay home, you’ll take a leisurely cruise to witness the magnificence of the city from the water. See Point Loma with its beautiful mansions lining the hillside, the North Island Naval Air Station repair facility for fighter jets, the Point Loma Submarine Base, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Marine Mammal Training Center and Shelter Island. Learn about San Diego’s interesting maritime past and present, including the tuna industry and the importance of the military in the city. This is your chance to go local and see firsthand, and from two different perspectives, 'America's Finest City.'

Here's your chance to enjoy the world-famous San Diego Zoo. Built on a hillside in beautiful Balboa Park, the zoo boasts the largest collection of flora and fauna in the United States.

Journey back in time to explore the infamous Alcatraz Prison -- also known as 'the Rock'.

Your half-day tour begins with a panoramic drive by motorcoach along the Embarcadero and across the Golden Gate Bridge. This bridge is possibly the most beautiful -- and certainly the most photographed -- bridge in the world. Often half-veiled by the city's trademark rolling fog, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge spans tidal currents and withstands ocean waves and battering winds to connect the City by the Bay with the Redwood Empire to the north. You'll pause at Vista Point to take photos. Weather permitting, take in sweeping views of San Francisco Bay and the city skyline, as well as Alcatraz, Angel Island and Yerba Buena Island, the islands of San Francisco Bay, Berkeley, Oakland and downtown San Francisco.

Discover the fascinating city of San Francisco with a two-day ticket on the Hop-On/Hop-Off San Francisco Tour. Enjoy an audio guide narrated tour allowing you to explore the "City by the Bay" at your own pace. Hop on and off an open-topped bus at over 15 different locations around the city, including crossing the famous Golden Gate Bridge.

Discover San Francisco’s many highlights by open top double decker bus. Sightseeing, museums, shopping, and restaurants line the route as this fully narrated tour allows you to hop-on/hop-off the bus throughout the day with stops at over 15 of the city’s most popular attractions. The full loop is approximately 2 hours in duration. Highlights along the route include Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach, Little Italy, the Embarcadero and Union Square—San Francisco’s premier destination for boutique shopping, high fashion, restaurants, and theater. The Civic Center includes the beautiful architectural masterpieces of City Hall, the Asian Art Museum, Central Library, Symphony Hall and the Opera House. Don’t miss Alamo Square with its picturesque Victorian row houses and the Haight-Ashbury district—once the epicenter of the 1960s Summer of Love hippy culture. The stop at Golden Gate Park includes the California Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea Garden, the De Young Museum, and the Botanic Gardens. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge you’ll see the tremendous towers, sweeping main cables, and the signature International Orange color. Returning to the City Center via Presidio Park, there are stops at the Palace of Fine Arts, Lombard Street, Union Square North, Chinatown, and Steuart Street. The tour ends at the ship’s pier on Embarcadero Street located just a short distance from Pier 39, home to the Aquarium on the Bay and a favorite gathering spot for a large population of the California sea lion.

Cross the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge en route to visit one of the few remaining groves of virgin coastal redwoods. These world-famous trees are among the tallest and oldest of their kind in existence. The nature trail at Muir Woods leads you into the heart of the cathedral-like grove of trees. Take a moment to enjoy the serenity of this majestic setting while learning the fascinating history of the giant redwoods. After your time surrounded by nature, continue to the artist colony of Sausalito. The winding roads, cliff-side homes and houseboat havens make this one of the most interesting parts of the San Francisco region. You will have free time here to explore the many art galleries, boutiques and quaint shops of this bayside village. Enjoy the view of the spectacular San Francisco skyline across the bay from this picturesque city on the water.

Discover a few of the highlights of the City by the Bay on this exciting panoramic drive that takes you from the top of Twin Peaks, out to the crashing Pacific Coast, across the Golden Gate Bridge and to quaint Sausalito in Marin County. From the pier, travel along the Embarcadero and up famous Market Street to the top of Twin Peaks. Of the 43 hills in San Francisco, Twin Peaks offers the city’s most spectacular views. The almost-identical summits, Noe and Eureka, rise approximately 922 feet above the city. On a clear day, you are treated to a 360-degree view spanning the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Berkeley and the peninsula. Next, glide through lush Golden Gate Park, San Francisco's enormous arboreal front yard. Situated a few blocks north of the oceanfront end of the park is the spectacular Cliff House—spend a few minutes here taking in the excellent views of the Pacific and the Golden Gate Nation Recreation Area. Proceed to cross the historic Golden Gate Bridge (celebrating its 75th year in 2012), possibly the most beautiful—and certainly the most photographed—bridge in the world. Pause for photos at Vista Point, and from here, a short drive takes you down into Sausalito. Reminiscent of Saint Tropez on the French Riviera, Sausalito is a quaint artists’ colony. Next to the bayside restaurants, antiques shops, and galleries you'll see hamburger joints, ice cream shops, and secondhand bookstores. Sausalito's main strip is Bridgeway, which runs along the water. A bay-front meal (at your own expense) is highly recommended.
