The Golden Gate Bridge is just one of the many icons to experience during a visit to San Francisco.

San Francisco is best known for its striking geography, historic landmarks and moderate climate. Situated over a backdrop of rolling hills, the port of San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge and famous Victorian houses paint a picture of classic American beauty. Make the most of your visit to San Francisco and take one of the ASA-sponsored tours! Take in California’s magnificent landscape either through hike or by bike in a nature tour, learn what makes California wine the finest in North America at one of our wine tours or sightsee at Alcatraz Island. Space is limited for these tours, and interested attendees are encouraged to register in advance. If you are planning to extend your stay in the Golden State, Adrian W. Gelb, F.R.C.P.C., M.B., Ch.B., your Local Host, recommends some notable places to visit: the picturesque towns of Sausalito, Monterey and Carmel, the redwoods of Muir Woods and the award-winning wineries of Napa and Sonoma, all just a short drive away.
