			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sfboater.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/toursanfran.jpg" alt="toursanfran" title="toursanfran" width="240" height="161" class="left" />Whether you are a native California resident or someone who is visiting from another state around the country, or even another country around the globe, you should know that visiting San Francisco and experiencing its surroundings is going to leave an absolutely indelible impression on you. </p>
<p><strong>The vibrant life in the city of San Francisco takes place in front of a breathtaking backdrop made up of natural beauty.</strong> Some of the best natural beauty can be appreciated best when you participate in a San Francisco tour. Both first time visitors to the city and locals who have lived here for a while can actually come to learn a truly tremendous amount of information about the San Francisco, the City by the Bay, simply by taking a San Francisco tour. The tour bus drivers are quite knowledgeable and they are capable of providing you with truly wonderful and colorful stories about the many different unique neighborhoods in this hustling and bustling cityscape.</p>
<p><strong>You will undoubtedly be given the opportunity to see and experience all of the most notable districts in San Francisco, which include but are not limited to Nob Hill, the Castro, Haight-Ashbury, Japantown and Chinatown. </strong>You will also see some truly famous landmarks and other interesting stops, including the most crooked street in the entire world, San Francisco's famous Lombard Street, and the quaint system of cable cars that San Francisco is known for. You will also find plenty of architectural wonders, such as the Golden Gate Bridge. Another wonderful place to tour is the Fisherman's Wharf where you will find plenty of scents and sights and sounds to behold, coupled with Pier 39 where you will find plenty of fantastic eateries, unparalleled shopping and a unique family of attention-hogging sea lions.</p>
<p><strong>By hiring a charter bus company in San Francisco, you may also get to take advantage of an Alcatraz tour. </strong>This will allow you to learn some of the interesting history behind the most notorious criminals that were once housed in this maximum security level prison. You will also pick up more information that you may not have been aware of such as the fact that the island was once occupied by Native Americans, and that Alcatraz also had military uses in the past. The island of Alcatraz is also known for some unique flora as well as fauna.</p>
<p><strong>Another unique quality about touring San Francisco is that San Francisco can be the perfect foundation for a tour that stretches beyond the city and into other parts of the state as well.</strong> You can begin your tour in San Francisco and travel into the wine country, or head south and explore the beaches along the coast of the entire state of California. You may also want to visit Yosemite, a gorgeous natural reserve with breathtaking waterfalls and majestic peaks that are well worth visiting some time in your life. </p>
