San Francisco completely delivered today. From riding the city’s famous trams to exploring Pier 39, seeing Alcatraz up close, and then getting back to the port in a driverless taxi — this turned into one of our most unexpected and brilliant days of the trip. In this vlog, we explore some of San Francisco’s most iconic sights, including Pier 39, views across to Alcatraz Island, and a ride on the legendary San Francisco trams. To finish the day, we jump into a fully autonomous taxi and head back to the cruise port — something we never expected to do on this trip.
