Your independent exploration of San Francisco must begin with the legendary Golden Gate Bridge. Walk, cycle, or simply admire this architectural marvel from viewpoints like Battery Spencer. No visit is complete without a ferry trip to Alcatraz Island, the infamous former prison; book tickets well in advance as they sell out quickly. Immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of Fisherman’s Wharf, watching the playful sea lions at Pier 39 and sampling local seafood. Challenge yourself to navigate the hairpin turns of Lombard Street, often dubbed the “most crooked street in the world.” Delve into the rich history and vibrant culture of Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in North America, with its captivating alleys and traditional architecture. For a taste of counter-culture history, wander through Haight-Ashbury, the birthplace of the 1960s hippie movement, with its Victorian houses and unique boutiques. Don’t miss the colourful murals and lively atmosphere of the Mission District, particularly around Dolores Park, offering stunning city views.
San Francisco is a foodie’s paradise. A quintessential experience is savouring a creamy Clam Chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl, especially at Fisherman’s Wharf. The Mission District is renowned for its oversized and flavourful Mission Burritos, a local staple. Indulge in fresh Dungeness crab, often served steamed or in a crab Louie salad. Explore Chinatown for authentic Dim Sum, a delightful way to sample various small plates. For a warming treat, head to the historic Buena Vista Cafe for an original Irish Coffee. The city’s diverse culinary landscape also boasts innovative farm-to-table restaurants and an array of ethnic cuisines.
Getting around San Francisco is part of the adventure. The city is very walkable, but be prepared for steep hills. Public transport is excellent, with Muni (buses, streetcars, metro) covering most areas. Consider purchasing a Clipper Card for easy access across all transit options. A ride on the historic Cable Cars offers iconic views, though they can be crowded. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and cycling is popular, especially for crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Ferries are ideal for trips to Alcatraz or across the bay to Sausalito.
The best times to visit San Francisco for pleasant weather are generally late spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October). During these months, you’ll often find clearer skies and comfortable temperatures, ideal for exploring. While summer (June-August) brings vibrant energy, it’s also known for its persistent fog, affectionately termed “Fogust.” Winters are mild but can be wetter.
Always dress in layers. San Francisco’s weather can change dramatically throughout the day and between different neighbourhoods, often experiencing all four seasons in a single afternoon. A warm jacket or sweater is a must, even on a seemingly sunny day.

This is a made-to-order trip, so you choose the dates. We are happy to advise on the best season for this destination and on how the weather, prices and crowds change through the year — just tell us roughly when you are thinking of travelling.
The main inclusions are:
The full list of what is and is not included appears in the "Included / Excluded" section on this page.
It depends on the season and the destination. Many trips do have a direct flight, but depending on your dates the airlines may not have a direct connection available for that period, in which case the trip may involve one stopover. We will tell you the exact flight routing clearly in your quote, before you proceed with the booking.
Not necessarily. The "From €X" price is the lowest price available today, based on current flight and hotel availability for that destination. Because availability changes daily, the final price for your specific dates may differ. We'll send you a firm, written quote before anything is charged, once you tell us the dates you have in mind.
Flight and hotel prices change daily depending on season, demand, day of the week, and how far in advance you book. That's why the price shown is indicative — the earlier you tell us your dates, the easier it is for us to secure the best possible price.
The single-room supplement varies by hotel and destination, and is included in the quote you'll receive for your specific dates. If you're travelling alone, let us know from the start so the quote already reflects the correct single-room price.
Payment is due in full at the time of booking. For certain hotels that have their own payment policy (for example a deposit or a specific payment deadline), we'll let you know clearly before you proceed, so you know exactly what applies.
Yes — once your booking is confirmed, the price is fixed and won't be affected by later changes in flight or hotel prices. Availability and price can only change before your booking is finalised.
Several trips offer the option to depart from a city other than Athens (for example Thessaloniki), usually with a small additional charge. If this applies to a specific trip, it will be noted on the page or mentioned when we send your quote.
For this destination you do need a visa, but it's easy to arrange — either online before you travel (e-Visa) or on arrival at the airport, with no embassy visit required. We'll guide you through the process once you book. You'll also need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the return date. Entry rules change from time to time, so please confirm the current requirements with us before you book.
Changes and cancellations follow the terms of the airlines, hotels and suppliers booked for you, so the cost depends on how close to departure you are and on the fare rules of each booking. Tell us as early as possible and we will look for the least costly option. The general terms of participation apply to every booking.
Travel insurance is not included in the price unless the "Included" list on this page says otherwise. We strongly recommend it, especially for trips outside the EU, so that medical care, cancellation and lost luggage are covered. We can arrange a policy for you — just ask when you book.
Yes — this is an individual trip, not a group departure. There is no fixed itinerary and no coach schedule: you travel on your own, at your own pace. We can change the number of nights, the class of hotel, add or drop destinations and arrange transfers, car hire or private guides.
