Itinerary
A Stroll Through the Past: With a ghostly chill in the air, we’ll embark on a brisk historical walk through the neighborhood’s hidden corners. Along this path, we’ll peel back the layers of North Beach’s sinister past that still haunt its streets today.
Our gourmet ghost tour starts with a haunted visit to the San Remo Hotel’s restaurant, the area’s oldest and eeries restaurant. Here, we discuss the resident ghosts while sampling the Italian fair.
Our next destination is the iconic Washington Square Park, where we’ll taste focaccia bread sandwiches at a beloved bohemian gem.

About San Francisco
San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
