## Overview

Our trip to San Francisco welcomes Christmas season with a narrated tour of the city dressed up and decorated in celebration of the holidays.

## Details

Craig Smith, our longtime San Francisco guide and friend, has passed the microphone to his friend Suzy. We've already had a couple of chances to work with her and she's a keeper! This December we are excited to bring you an all-new Christmas lights tour in San Francisco! During the Holiday Season San Francisco offers plenty to see from Union Square's 83-foot-tall Christmas Tree and Macy's decorated windows to Pier 39's Christmas Tree with synchronized music and lights. This year's trip will also see "Let's Glow SF" featuring several downtown buildings transformed into glowing animated canvases. We will enjoy dinner before the tour at the Franciscan on the water at Fisherman's Wharf. Come and feel like a kid again!
