The drive through Big Sur on Highway 1 is one of America’s most beautiful road trips. You’ll see the Pacific Ocean, towering redwoods, and secluded beaches.

There are plenty of San Francisco tours you can take while visiting the Bay Area, although we think your best option is to take a self-guided audio tour instead of paying extra for a tour guide. San Francisco is one of the most interesting cities in California, and it can be tough to find all […]
The Bay Area is pretty temperate year-round, so the best time to take a San Francisco tour will depend on what you want to see. For our money, September and October have the best weather and events, so we recommend visiting then. These two months are the warmest of the year for the bay, with […]
A San Francisco driving tour will take you through plenty of neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive flavor, but we think the coolest one is either Hayes Valley or the Castro, depending on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking to avoid the other tourists and go straight to where the locals hang out, then […]
