With so many sights you may want to plan a few extra days to take it all in.

NCL Excursion: VIEWS OF SAN FRANCISCO -- Take in the jewels of the City by the Bay on this half day discovery of the “the City.” From the pier, travel west passing fisherman’s wharf en route to view the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Here you pause at the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center which offers excellent views of the bridge and informative information and representations of the bridge’s history and engineering. The ample shop offers souvenirs and books memorializing the city and bridge structure. From the Golden Gate to Land’s End, where the city meets the sea. At Lands’ End, enjoy views over the Pacific Ocean while the nearby modern visitors center offers Indoor exhibits and videos on the natural and cultural history of the Land's End area, Sutro Baths and Sutro Heights. From the coast, drive along the Great Highway to Golden Gate Park on the way to one of the city’s numerous hills, Twin Peaks.

The exact restaurants will be chosen the day of the excursion, but you can expect to visit Victoria’s trendiest, most characteristic ones. James Bay, the city’s oldest neighborhood, is nearly surrounded by water so chances are you will be treated to seafood after strolling the boardwalk at Fisherman’s Wharf. Fish and chips is always a favorite option but the day’s fresh catch could offer something entirely different. A ferry will bring you to the upper harbor, where you will find Chinatown, which is the oldest such neighborhood in Canada. The variety of cuisines is remarkable and includes Cantonese, Szechuan and Chinese street food. You will also be treated to a craft beer or cocktail sampling in the Bastion Square area of Old Town. The square looks out over the picturesque inner harbor.
