While on your school trip to San Francisco, you must take your kids on cable car ride. This cable car system is the world’s last manually operated cable car system. The S.F. cable car system first started in 1873 and had a quick decline due to the popularity of trains and buses. The cable cars are an icon of San Francisco and are the city’s most popular tourist attraction.

Coit Tower is a 210 foot tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood and is always a part of the view of the San Francisco skyline. The tower was built in 1933 in an effort to enhance the beauty of San Francisco. During your student tour of S.F. you will ride up to Telegraph Hill and enjoy the stunning view of the San Francisco waterfront. Inside the tower lobby, the kids will view the famous murals that were painted in 1934 by 25 artists. These paintings are thought to be one of California’s best examples of depression-era public art.

Fisherman’s Wharf is another great stop on your student travel experience to San Francisco. Originally the area for fisherman fishing for the Dungeness crabs, this area on the bay was redeveloped in the ‘70s and ‘80s. While Fisherman’s Wharf still remains the home of San Francisco’s fishing fleet, it now has great restaurants, access to the cable cars, terrific shopping, boarding historical ships at Hyde Street Pier and much much more

The Golden Gate Bridge is the famous red suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean, and links San Francisco to Marin County. This well-known bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and has been declared one of the modern Wonders of the World. The Bridge Pavilion provides orientation and information of the bridge and houses many exhibits

Lombard Street is another favorite stop on student tours of S.F. Lombard Street is best known for the one-way section on Russian Hill, in which the road has eight sharp turns that have earned the street the distinction of being the most winding street in the world. The design was started in 1922 to lessen the hill’s natural 27% grade, which was way too steep for vehicles and walkers. Your students will love to walk down this ¼ mile crooked street.

When taking a school trip to San Francisco, you should consider taking a tour of Muir Woods. Located just outside the city, a visit to Muir Woods will change the pace of your tour as your students will explore this middle aged Redwood forest. Owned and preserved by the National Parks, your group will walk through the forest and see the tallest tree, which stands 255 feet tall. Your kids will also learn of the root system, the history of this great park and much more.

Only eight miles north of San Francisco, across the bay, is the small town of Sausalito. Sausalito is compared to several European oceanside towns.

Tiburon has unique shops, boutiques, galleries, and offers great views of San Francisco.
