tour

time traveling

God knows what Ken Kesey would have thought of the Magic Bus, the tour company that travels cross town backwards through the City’s history, reliving the glory days of the Haight, the Fillmore, North Beach and around town while folk rock wafts through the bus’ speakers. Tours take around 2.5 hours. $60. If you’re feeling […]

beaujolais buggy

Is visiting wine tasting rooms getting a little old, a little crowded, a little touristy? May I suggest climbing aboard the Wine Carriage, a 5-hour, 5-mile adventure starting out at the Anderson Valley Vineyards (duck into their vast cave before you start) and trot off to tastings at Hanna and Soda Rock ( one of the most […]

taste trekking

For jaded readers who have “been there, done that” and are looking for new adventures, consider checking out the tempting getgonetraveler.com site which offers short food tours around the Bay (and the world). Their menu of excursions includes a tasty visit to Strauss Family Creamery ($125), the fresh Flavors of West Marin ($195), a Distillery […]

good morning

Bay seniors who can’t sleep anyway might as well get up at the crack of dawn for a Sunrise Tour of Muir Woods on Sunday April 24 from 6:30am to10:30am. The park, without the visiting hordes, is at its quietest and most magical. Your guide will tell you more details of this natural wonder. The […]

bird’s eye view

Bay seniors who need reminding that they live in heaven on earth might consider taking a Golden Gate Seaplane Tour from Sausalito that swoops over the City, the Bay, the Bridges, even Muir Woods. All in 30 minutes. Everyone on board the six passenger plane gets a seat with a glorious view. $179.

high gloss

Bay seniors better get in line if they want to visit one of the city’s most idiosyncratic art projects, 500 Capp Street in the Mission. It was the home and studio of the late great conceptual artist David Ireland. He bought this ramshackle place in 1975 and instead of stripping away its years of wear, […]

vallejo revival

Bay seniors with a love for theaters whose design is as dramatic as anything happening onstage should check out the Empress Theater in downtown Vallejo. Built in 1911 it has been fully restored with red velvet seats, gold leaf clouds on the ceiling and a pipe organ. There is a year round calendar of live […]

war zone

Bay senior history buffs who feel cheated because we have no blood-stained battlefield sites here will have to make do with the military fortifications of the Marin Headlands. This Sunday from noon-4 you can take a docent-led tour of the recently restored Battery Townsley. Built in 1940 this once secret site waited for an attack from […]
