Description

Oh, what fun it is to ride—and sing!—through San Francisco's glittering neighborhoods and famous landmarks during the most magical time of the year. Whether you're a belter, a hummer, or just along for the ride, our San Francisco Christmas Lights Tour is your ticket to a night of unforgettable holiday cheer. We’ll pick you up at the San Francisco Hilton Union Square (Mason Street), where your holiday adventure begins! Step into a festively decorated vehicle where your holiday host welcomes you and Santa’s little helper blasts a jolly soundtrack of seasonal favorites to sing, sway, and celebrate the season. As we roll through the city, your live guide will share fun facts and holiday trivia, all while pointing out San Francisco's brightest lights and seasonal sights. You'll see: - The Embarcadero Center’s twinkling white lights like wrapped presents - Bay Bridge Light Show, a 1.8-mile-wide LED display - Pier 39 Mega Tree and holiday-lit Coit Tower - Union Square's famous tree and Macy's holiday windows - City Hall all aglow with seasonal lights We'll cruise over to Ghirardelli Square and then pause to snap the perfect family photo at the Golden Gate Bridge, where the lights of the city shimmer in the background. The most magical part? We’ll journey to the Avenues, where entire blocks transform into winter wonderlands with over-the-top decorated homes, twinkling inflatables, and light tunnels. During the stop, warm up with hot apple cider and Christmas cookies as your guide shares stories and holiday cheer. Before returning, we’ll stop at the Fairmont Hotel's legendary holiday lobby to admire its breathtaking two-story gingerbread house and giant Christmas tree.
