Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, United States

Overview

Take a trip to San Francisco on your United States Vacation

San Francisco is a city that has long embodied the essence of a progressive America, welcoming people from various backgrounds and fostering a rich tapestry of cultural influences. It's a city where technology, politics, and a diverse population converge to create a unique blend of charm and diversity.

Iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz are integral to the city's identity, offering both architectural marvels and captivating stories. Climbing the scenic Lombard Street and visiting Fisherman's Wharf with its lively sea lions at Pier 39 are must-do activities.

To truly understand San Francisco, explore its neighborhoods. Chinatown boasts authentic Chinese cuisine and a bustling atmosphere. Nearby, City Lights Booksellers & Publishers, rooted in the Beat Generation, is a literary haven. The Cable Car Museum, an ode to San Francisco's beloved transport, and Coit Tower, providing panoramic views, are other gems.

The Haight, once the epicenter of the city's hippie movement, maintains a laid-back vibe with colorful Victorian homes. The Castro, a historic LGBTQ hub, is still central to the community. The Mission district represents Latin and Hispanic culture, while SoMa has transformed due to the tech industry's presence, leading to a vibrant scene of bars, boutiques, and cafes.

Golden Gate Park, larger than Central Park in New York, is a beloved urban oasis, combining natural beauty with cultural attractions like the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum. Don't miss the Japanese Tea Garden, the Botanical Garden, or a bike ride to Ocean Beach.

San Francisco's allure has drawn people from around the world, creating a city where diverse cultures and ideas thrive. To truly appreciate its unique character, visit San Francisco and craft your own narrative of this remarkable city.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
