So, what are the highlights on any San Francisco family holidays? You'll want to start with a threesome of Frisco's most iconic family experiences: the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz island prison and Pier 39. Combine two of these by taking the children to buzzy Fisherman's Wharf, home to local 'sea-lebrities' the sea lions of Pier 39, who love nothing more than basking in the sun. From there, we can arrange a guided bike ride along the waterfront (past the Walt Disney Family Museum) across the epic Golden Gate Bridge and to Sausalito from where you can take a half-hour ferry back to Pier 39.

Then there's Alcatraz, the island that has been both a Civil War fortress and the most famous prison in the USA. Head over by boat and your guide will keep you and the children on tenterhooks with tales of daring escapes and gory ghost stories. For added spook factor, we can arrange a night-time tour.

Next, you can ride the city's famous trams, take a trip up wiggly Lombard Street and if you have sports mad children, we can book tickets to see a baseball or American football match. Not done yet? We can tailor-make a trip to combine your San Francisco family holidays with some of the other highlights of the Sunshine State of California.
