Well done. For Alcatrax, remember you'll need to book several weeks in advance during the high season, so do so before you get to the city. There are special tours with guides that take small groups of people to places most tourists don't see. After the prison, don't miss the gardens on the side facing the Golden Gate, they are really lovely and the views are amazing. You'll also need to book a time to visit and park at Muir Woods. Visiting Sausilito by catching a ferry from the ferry building is well worth it, especially if you don't visit Alcastraz. You'll get a chance to get out on the Bay and see both bridges and the city skyline. When you get to Sausalito, grab a sandwich and have lunch sitting near the sea lion statue along the shore. If the tide is really high, all you'll see is his nose! --- Now the bad and sad. If you drive into the city, head straight to your hotel and get your luggage out. Leave nothing in your car! Thieves come from across the Bay Area to break into your car! The infamous tent camps and open air drug dealing are mostly in the Tenderloin, which you should simply avoid. There's really nothing there to see anyway. Homelessness is more visible in SF because we are such a small place. Unlike more sprawling American cities there are simply not as many places for the homeless to hid out of site.
i am visitng SFO in a few days and from some of the you tube videos i have seen i am really scared to go thier with family .your video paints a different picture all together .Is it safe for toursit to go now ?
We went last summer, which is apparently when things were "worse." We saw one weird homeless guy in a touristy area...we saw some shops boarded up in downtown...but that was it! It didn't feel any different to any other trip out there. We did only stay in the touristy areas, but I'm sure that's where you would be too.
@@samrajnatarajan3259 There is no need to be scared. You aren't going to be going into the Tenderloin which is where all the videos you see are taken. You will encounter small groups of homeless and mentally ill people, but just ignore them and you'll be fine. You don't need and would be better off without a car in the city. Public Transit is decent. If you are traveling to the city by car unload at your hotel first. Leave nothing in your car. This is true in many other big cities, but gangs come in from the entire region to steal stuff from visitors. Realize these are opportunists, not interested in trying to mug you. In Europe you have to watch out for pick pockets, in SF you have to take everything out of your car. That said, enjoy visiting the various neighborhoods such as North Beach (North of Fisherman's Wharf) Chinatown next door and visit Golden Gate Park. So much to see and do there. With museums, gardens and even a Bison paddock! A great half day trip is to go to the Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street and catch a Ferry to Sausalito. Be sure to ride outside. You'll get to see the Bay Bridge, sail past Alcatraz and see the Golden Gate Bridge from the other side! In Sausalito go to the little deli on Bridgeway and get some sandwiches and have a picnic near the sea lion sculpture and take in the view. When you're ready hop back on the ferry or if you have the time and your family is up to it, rent a bicycle and ride back into SF across the bike path on the Golden Gate Bridge. Finally, even though September is warmer, the fog can still come in by afternoon, so always have a hoody in your backpack and save the shorts for So Cal!
Just adding for folks who aren't familiar - these sights by the bridge are in the Presidio of San Francisco. It's a free national park site, with enough family-friendly activity to spend the whole day.
Je vous souhaite un très belle journée plamiming your firsr trip San Francisco w'WHERE. 'AVENICE DAY VERY NICE CITY THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA CAPITALE SACRAMENTO 🏥🌉🌉🌉👍👍🤝🏽✌
I'll be there Oct 24-Nov 7. Used to live there in the 80-90's. I used to hike the bridge about twice a month. Can't wait for this trip....And getting a friend's apt for the whole time!!!
Sounds awesome, Ambrose. You’re gonna love hiking the bridge again!!! It’ll be interesting to find out how much it’s all changes since then! Have a great trip!! 😎👍
Back in ˋ91, I WALKED the Golden Gate Bridge (and many a hill, enough to know that I would NOT want to cycle there!), it was one of the best things I ever did. BEAUTIFUL city, thank you for bringing back all the wonderful memories! And there is nothing more beautiful than watching the fog drift in from a window a flor or two up. Kind regards from Germany, Nicola
Love watching your beautiful family enjoying travel. Such a wonderful gift to give your children by opening up the world to them at an early age. Safe journeys always!
This video brings tears to me 😪 I'm 59 yrs old and all I've ever wanted to do is walk across GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 🌉. Unfortunately, I've recently been diagnosed with Lewy Body as Robin Williams had. I'll probably never get to go now but please know this video really made a wonderful impact. Thank you for sharing this and God Bless your family. Subscribed 👍
Hi Roger, thanks for subscribing and your lovely message. I’m over in England reading your message and it warms me to know that you shared a moment with us like that. I grew up in a small town and never thought I’d ever get to see the Golden Gate in real life, let alone cycle across it, so it wasn’t lost on me!! Great to have you on board. 😀👍
Good job! You covered quite a bit of this lovely city. I love it and have visited it at least 10 times but only for 3 or so days. I used to live in a small coastal Northern California town. It was a 3.5 drive to SF. This video brought back some good memories. last time I was there was 2008. I want and need to return. Thanks again! You look to have a lovely family. You also have a lovely voice with accent.
Thanks Alex!!! It's impossible to fit everything the city has to offer in one video. Hopefully, we've helped out a few "first-timers!!" 2008 is a long while ago now!! Book that ticket!! 😉 And I'm glad you like the accent...I've been working on it for years!! 😂
Actually the Palace of Fine Arts was part of the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition but at one point the whole thing had to be torn down to the metal under structure and rebuilt. The original was only designed to last for the duration of the fair (about a year). The rotunda and colonnades were constructed of a soft plaster-fiber material laid over wood framing. It lasted for quite a few years however it suffered a lot of decay so it was rebuilt out of stronger and more permanent materials.
Thursday will be my 1st time in California!!!! I chose san Francisco, flying from north Carolina, im going to cry, im so greatful, i never thought i could afford California
We live in the Bay but I always love watching travel videos of SF 😍. I love my sourdough just like you guys. Funny story- I was in Ontario, Canada a few months back and was having breakfast at a local cafe. They asked what bread I wanted and I said, “sourdough pls”. They just looked at me funny, so I just settled for wheat 😂
Ha ha. This is just like in the UK!! White or wholemeal bread options, only! You can only get sourdough from artisan bakeries here, really. You also won’t get a choice of cheese or as many egg options. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😀👍
Thank you for making this kind of amazing Vlog. I am about to move to the bay area and I’m so excited about having a trip in San Francisco. I really can feel your guys passion and love to San Francisco!!
Thanks William!! I'm so glad you felt the love!! I hope the move to the Bay Area goes well and that you get to visit the attractions while in San Francisco. 😎👍
@@LifeOfReillyTV I’m heading to North Carolina at the end of may to visit my friend but I’m hoping to go back to San Francisco at the end of the year. Such an amazing place. It really was a dream come true going there
Ooooh, sourdough bowls with clam chowder… So good and I say that coming from a country famous for the wide variety of breads (Germany), Boudin‘s is AMAZING!
Good questions, Derby. I've just been through my phone to work it out. I think we got on our bikes around 10.30am and took my last photo on my phone, heading back down to the city back at the other side of the 2 hours later, so we probably got back 1pm. But, we also stopped to film some bits to camera a few times...and we had some young ones on bikes so we weren't super-fast. It probably took us 2h30 but you could do it faster or allow 3 hours to be safe? Also, we turned around right at the end of the bridge, we didn't go into Sausalito.
This was a GREAT video 😃it had me pumped up and ready to come to San Francisco, it has always been my dream to walk across The Golden Gate Bridge 🙏 I can't wait 🕊Thank you for this inspiration 😘
I really enjoyed your video. Our family are going to SF for the holiday season. We are planning to get the Clipper cards. Did you guys use the public transportation at all? Thx
Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed it. The Clipper is great if you’re getting BART but you might not need it. Check out this video of ours: ruclips.net/video/BGr3iqzh5YA/видео.html
Ha ha. I didn't feel too bad being next to it but I know the bridge can feel very high for some people. Walking is just as good as cycling, I'm sure. Thanks for posting!
Great video thxq for sharing beautiful familys ,me n my hubby when to pier 39 the past weekend for my early bday n was so nice down There I live in Fresno I never been around that much place in San Francisco. We have walk across the golden gate those took us almost an hours if I remember. Have to go back again for golden gate n more to to see.☺️
Currently flying out there. Carnt wait, But a little apprehensive about the issues. But to be honest every where has some issue. Also SFO is a massive life goal to go and see along with a few more on this trip.
I’ll be really interested to find out what you think, Steve. Quite a few comments on the video are from people who don’t live there and just what they’ve heard or seen on a RUclips video. When we were there, we saw the normal “interesting” people that you see in every major city but otherwise it was the same as a decade ago, in the tourist areas. Have a great trip!
Where are you guys coming from? I was living in San Francisco for a few years back in 90’s . I don’t miss live there but it’s good to going back to visit sometime.
@@LifeOfReillyTV Thank you so much for your reply and let me know where you from! Seems like you guys love San Francisco. I thought you guys are from out of state in USA? Thank you for coming to USA traveled! 👍👏☝️🙋♀️💯😆
No worries, Deb. We catch a few people out with one of us having and English accent and the other a US one!! We’re looking forward to returning to California this summer! 😎👍
Hi there, we did most of the sights over two days but we did pack a lot in. You can take it as fast or slow as you would like. You could easily spend half a day on Alcatraz and a whole day in the Academy of Sciences, if you wanted to. Everything is very close, so you can go to loads of places quickly and easily. Have a great trip!! :-)
I’ve been watching your video on San Francisco as I’m going in October for my best mate’s 50th. Great video. Love the editing and music too. Going to make a video of my own. Not sure it will be as good as yours but want to record some memories.
Thanks Lloyd, glad you’re enjoying them!!! Making videos is such a great way to transport yourself back somewhere and keep those memories alive!! Make sure you add the link to your video, as I’d love to see it! Have an awesome trip!!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV Could I ask for some advice please? My friend has asked me to prepare an itinerary for SF. We are there for 3 nights followed by 4 nights in Vegas. On Day 1 we won’t have much time for sightseeing as we land at 3.35pm. So I have just gone for a Chinese meal in Chinatown. Day 2 we are doing Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Fisherman’s Wharf and riding bikes across the GG Bridge. On Day 3 I wanted to see Twin Peaks, GG Park, Baker Beach and lunch in Restaurant in Sausalito before heading back to the city. What is the best way to get around on day 3? I thought about Uber to Twin Peaks and then walking to GG Park but it’s about a 3 mile walk. Then I thought Uber to Sausalito before taking ferry back to city. Do you have any thoughts on my plans or suggestions for getting around?
Hi Lloyd, you’ve picked out all of the cool things to do, so well done! I reckon, the Bridge, Coit, Alcatraz and wharf are quite a lot to do in one day. You might want to separate the bridge from Alcatraz so you’re not rushing to make your booked slot, as they can both easily be half-day activities. If you’re wanting to do Sausalito, you could cycle over the bridge for lunch - and either cycle or get the ferry back. As for the park etc, catch a tram (not cable car) or a bus. They’re really cheap and safe. You can always Uber, if you like though.
Hi beautiful family! thank you so much for sharing. I will be traveling to San Francisco this summer with my 2 kids. 7 and 9 if you don’t mind me asking where did you buy your Alcatraz tickets? I was looking in the website you provided but it says children 12 and up did you have any issues to go behind the scenes with your children ? Thank you !
Hi Mery, thanks for the lovely message!! Kids are absolutely fine. They're free 4 and under, 5-11 they have kid's prices and 12-17 Junior tickets. You 12 year old will be 11 that day, won't they?!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉 Have an amazing trip!!!
No worries. I would say that SF is a public transport city. The buses and trams are always 30 seconds away. And there isn’t loads of parking. We made a video about that, actually: ruclips.net/video/BGr3iqzh5YA/видео.html
Hi Donn, no problem. I’m sure they have a map tour. Here’s their website. Let them know we sent you, when you go! 😀 bikeandview.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAkrWdBhBkEiwAZ9cdcKjBqY8RTrxRpQjNkkctozZWIwJj40aScrDivYPeXuIdhVfnADgkJhoCgEEQAvD_BwE
The bridge is pretty fast, around 20 mins depending on how often you stop for photos...or little kids!! It takes double that to get there, depending on where you rent your bike from. Have a great time!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV thanks, I took me and hour enjoying the views, taking some pictures here and there. Ride about 15km and also took the ferry. Was amazing, loved the city.
Sorry, I took so long to reply...I was working at the Olympics, so really busy!! I'm glad you had such a great trip!!! It's a very cool city with lots to see!!
Ahh, you should go! Even for a long weekend you’ll see loads. Two nights at a hotel/motel? You could stay just outside the city and travel in on BART each day, if that’s cheaper? Hope you get there!! 😎👍
How did you get the drone shots? I thought most of San Francisco was in a no fly zone? I’m off there 12th September and would love to fly my dji mini 3 249g drone
Nice!! Yes, it’s a no fly zone, unsurprisingly. We were working with Visit California so they gave me the shots I needed. 😀 Have an awesome trip. There are still some great drone shots to be had. Once you get to the beaches, you should be ok again.
Hi. Really enjoyed this. I went to SF in 2018, as it was on my bucket list. I always wanted to go to Alcatraz as I teach Criminology 😂 . I could not cycle over the bridge at the time, so I will just have to go back. 👍 Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video!! 😊 Alcatraz is fascinating enough without being a Criminology lecturer...I'd have wanted to stick with you on the tour!! With you not doing the bikes, I think you have a great reason to go back!!! 😉 Make sure you book some time to go to Muir Woods/Napa/Sonoma if you do go back!! ruclips.net/video/a0sKd7NSixk/видео.html
I used to work on Alcatraz. Plan on booking weeks in advance and you are someone who would love the night tour. A small group is lead by a ranger/guide into parts of the cell house not open to the general public. It costs more, but if you are looking for more than the audio tour, it's a great value!
I enjoyed your video but for a local guide I would have expected more hidden and lesser known places. But still a great video. All the best from the city from a German tour guide there.
Thanks Frank! We’re concentrating on places you HAVE to go in our hero videos. We hope to do the “local’s guide” at some point though. I hope work has picked up for you since Covid - how was this summer?
We all loved it. So many famous sights to see and experiences to be had. They love seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in movies and say they’ve been on it!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV Yeah definitely fun to visit. Spent Thanksgiving there and we did the Legion of Honor and saw the symphony. As far as residents though, they actually have the least amount of kids under 18 in the whole US because of rent and housing and cost of living. Most young families take off for the suburbs or surrounding areas.
Boudin sourdough bread almost went out of business because they are the least flavorful sourdough bread sold in the Bay Area and they are in business based on pure hype
Was San Francisco dangerous full of homeless people? Im thinking of going but lots of people say its gone really downhill and not as good as it used to be. Did you hire a car too?
We went two years ago (towards the end of Covid) and it was fine. We stuck to the “touristy” areas and saw the usual number of homeless. I think people are frustrated that the city isn’t what it used to be. We’re heading up there in a few weeks so I’ll try to find out more. It could be a great time to visit as it’s so quiet. We rented a car but only because we were travelling to Southern California. We didn’t drive it into San Francisco at all.
Local here. I can’t deny that homelessness is indeed a problem for our city. You are almost guaranteed to see them at some point. But to be clear, it’s not as if they are present on every street or even every neighborhood. There are some blocks of SF that look terrible, yet others that are some of the most beautiful urban vistas in the country. SF has a grimy side but also gorgeous landscape and architecture, distinct and walkable neighborhoods (rare in the US), delicious food, iconic landmarks, and tolerant and open minded people. You also don’t have to stay in SF proper, nearby you can also visit Sausalito, Muir Woods, Napa (wine country), Silicon Valley, Monterey, and Santa Cruz. Know what neighborhood you’re going into, don’t flash pricy camera equipment or leave valuables in your car. Prepare to see a bit of zaniness if you stumble into the wrong area. Bring warm clothing and have a good time!
Was there a point during your trip that you felt unsafe? We're planning on going there but it's a bit discouraging hearing all the negative news about the city.
Hi there, we honestly felt safe the whole time. And we had a camera out filming, so very visible and an easy target for someone. We’ve been coming here for 20 years and it didn’t feel any different to normal. We were only in the very touristy areas though.
Most of San Francisco is a touristy area, so don’t feel you can’t go where you want to go. There’s no way you’d be aiming to go to the dodgy areas anyway. Have fun! Let us know how it goes. 😀👍
@@riffguru just stay away from the Bart stations, tenderloin district, market st and mission st I would say the rest of the city is pretty fine for tourists. (There are of course much worse areas but those are far from the nice areas anyways)
Hi there, we filmed this two years ago and released it a year ago. When we went, everything was just as you expect in a big city - so you see the odd homeless person. We stayed in the touristy areas though but did know there were a few more no-go areas than normal. It was definitely not the Walking Dead. You could argue that the city might’ve been worse when we went, during Covid, but reports aren’t great at the moment. From what friends and family have said, it’s not like it was 10 years ago but you can still visit the major landmarks safely. I hope that helps.
First time I went there I took a friend from the UK, she got robbed, second time there I got robbed without knowing it, car was busted into and then went to look around the shops, so many were empty, and it seemed there were so many homeless people and many needles on the street so never going back
@@LifeOfReillyTVI meant Alicia not Cynthia. What is David's actual sign? The reason why I guessed those signs is because you 2 look like those signs to me.

We were in the tourist areas so didn't see any that I can remember but there must have been some because every US city has homelessness. We didn't see a Skid Row when we were there, if that's what you mean? I'm sure there is one but we didn't see it.
Yes there are many this RUclips channel is trying very hard to be overly positive about the city. It’s true you can go to plenty touristy areas but this city is the worst city in the USA in terms of homeless drug overdoses and robberies also by size. We have more homeless per capita than any city
From my experience it’s everywhere and many are mentally Ill it’s sad honestly feels like the Great Depression came. Its everywhere in the city but it seemed like they were on every block more than let’s say LA
We literally didn’t see any of this. We were only in the tourist areas. We saw a couple of homeless people but nothing different to any other Californian city. It wasn’t the Walking Dead, though. I’ve heard it’s in the Tenderloin but not the WHOLE city.
but be aware of smash and grab, leave nothing inside yr vehicle / rental vehicle , DO NOT think it won't happen to you even you are few meters away from yr vehicle ! San Francisco wasn't like 10 years ago, homeless everywhere, make sure you don't visit or walk thru City Hall at night ( after dinner little walk for 10mins ) FYI even camera crew got robbed twice in TwinPeak !
It is mainly dangerous (in terms of violent crime and robberies) around the tenderloin district which is quite central San Francisco, if you are staying around fisherman’s wharf, only pickpocketing occurs as in every city. However San Francisco as a whole has gone downhill but is still quite safe to visit if you know where not to go
I wouldn't say it's dangerous at all. It's an amazing city and we felt safe everywhere we went. We did stay in the touristy areas though. Every city has bad areas and crime, I'm sure San Francisco is no different. I know San Francisco had more problems than most during the pandemic but I wouldn't class it as dangerous.
Hi Tyler, we actually stayed with family in Oakland during this trip but we've stayed in Union Square before and there are loads of family friendly hotels/motels around Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf, which is close to everything. I'd probably check with the TripAdvisor Forum to see where people have stayed recently.
San Francisco is not safe at all...it's a nice video, but that place is a nightmare. And there is no "nice area"... refer to the recent murder of CashApp founder Bob Lee who was stabbed to death on the street in the "nice area". Mr. Lee had recently fled to Florida to get away from the decaying San Francisco and was only back in the bay to tie-up loose ends from the move...his children are now fatherless...wife left a single mother. It's not a one off, it's a pattern of crime that is relentless in San Francisco. In addition, if you make the mistake of driving a car there...they will bash out your windows and take anything they want. Good luck 🤷♂️...
First place to go is the Tenderloin, get your drugs here , then down to fisherman's Warf , you can make money breaking into tourist rental cars ! then a night down over to china town to get some young stuff , wink wink !
Them's fighting words! Yes, we have our problems, especially after COVID and the drug cricis affecting all the U.S. but we are still "the City by the Bay."
i would also add its a dumpster fire... its not a place for tourists at all. if you live in The City, youre effectively trapped by the high crime surrounding you
heres the best planning.. dont ever go there. seriously. its not a place for families, or just about anyone.. crime is high and so are all the people on the sidewalk.. i live just south of The City, havent been back in three years. its a dumpster fire of immense proportions.. anyone who subjects their family to staying there is doing themselves a disservice.
We really didn't experience that when we were in San Francisco. Every major city has pickpockets and crime. There are some definite no-go areas in SF but all the tourist areas felt safe.
@@LifeOfReillyTV I was robbed in a tourist area and want all tourists to be aware because it isn't talked about and it looks nice. I never want anyone to endure what I endured. For a tourist who gets robbed, they will lose their form of support/communication/passport/way home.

Thanks Mel!!! Some good tips in this comment, especially about booking in advance for Alcatraz and Muir Woods. We're going to pin it.

💯 Robbie!! We love it! 🌉
Agree !!
This video brings tears to me 😪 I'm 59 yrs old and all I've ever wanted to do is walk across GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 🌉. Unfortunately, I've recently been diagnosed with Lewy Body as Robin Williams had. I'll probably never get to go now but please know this video really made a wonderful impact. Thank you for sharing this and God Bless your family. Subscribed 👍
Hi Roger, thanks for subscribing and your lovely message. I’m over in England reading your message and it warms me to know that you shared a moment with us like that. I grew up in a small town and never thought I’d ever get to see the Golden Gate in real life, let alone cycle across it, so it wasn’t lost on me!! Great to have you on board. 😀👍
@@LifeOfReillyTV Thank you very much. Safe travels
We just got back from San Francisco this was a very big help. We hit every spot in the video thanks again!
Amazing - we still find it exciting that people actually watch our videos!!! What was your favourite place?
Thankyou! Really enjoyed this. Travelling from the UK to california in 7 weeks. So excited
Fab!! Thanks Joy!! Have a fun time planning. Some of our other videos might help with that, actually. Have an amazing time!!!
Good job! You covered quite a bit of this lovely city. I love it and have visited it at least 10 times but only for 3 or so days. I used to live in a small coastal Northern California town. It was a 3.5 drive to SF. This video brought back some good memories. last time I was there was 2008. I want and need to return. Thanks again! You look to have a lovely family. You also have a lovely voice with accent.
Thanks Alex!!! It's impossible to fit everything the city has to offer in one video. Hopefully, we've helped out a few "first-timers!!" 2008 is a long while ago now!! Book that ticket!! 😉 And I'm glad you like the accent...I've been working on it for years!! 😂
Love the whole family’s energy !! Great Video 👏👏
Thank you Bhavin!!! ☺️☺️ Great to have you on board!!
Actually the Palace of Fine Arts was part of the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition but at one point the whole thing had to be torn down to the metal under structure and rebuilt. The original was only designed to last for the duration of the fair (about a year). The rotunda and colonnades were constructed of a soft plaster-fiber material laid over wood framing. It lasted for quite a few years however it suffered a lot of decay so it was rebuilt out of stronger and more permanent materials.
Good knowledge, Leo. Love the extra info, thanks!

Thursday will be my 1st time in California!!!! I chose san Francisco, flying from north Carolina, im going to cry, im so greatful, i never thought i could afford California
AMAZING!!! I was like that, too. I never thought I’d see the Golden Gate Bridge in my lifetime. Go make the goals happen!! Have a great trip!! 😎👍
@@LifeOfReillyTV thank you so much, 5 days!!😍
Beautiful !!!!!
It’s an amazing city, isn’t it?!
I was there last in 2019 and did the Love tour in a VW van which was awesome. Great video guys
Thanks Stephen!!! 🤩 Yes, I saw the Love Tour when we were booking this trip - it looked like lots of fun!! 🚙🌉
love your video! we are going there next month! first time in SF, can't wait!
Wahoo! Very excited for you L, Anet!! Have an amazing time!!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV thank you!!! :)
I used to live and work there for almost a decade...👌👍
Nice!!! I hope you enjoyed seeing the city again!! 😎👍
We live in the Bay but I always love watching travel videos of SF 😍. I love my sourdough just like you guys. Funny story- I was in Ontario, Canada a few months back and was having breakfast at a local cafe. They asked what bread I wanted and I said, “sourdough pls”. They just looked at me funny, so I just settled for wheat 😂
Ha ha. This is just like in the UK!! White or wholemeal bread options, only! You can only get sourdough from artisan bakeries here, really. You also won’t get a choice of cheese or as many egg options. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😀👍
Thank you for making this kind of amazing Vlog. I am about to move to the bay area and I’m so excited about having a trip in San Francisco. I really can feel your guys passion and love to San Francisco!!
Thanks William!! I'm so glad you felt the love!! I hope the move to the Bay Area goes well and that you get to visit the attractions while in San Francisco. 😎👍
this is bringing back so many memories for me. its been 4 months since i was there
So glad to hear it!!! We love it when videos do that, too. We can’t wait to return.
@@LifeOfReillyTV I’m heading to North Carolina at the end of may to visit my friend but I’m hoping to go back to San Francisco at the end of the year. Such an amazing place. It really was a dream come true going there
Love it!!!! The hills, water and landmarks are super special. Happy travels.
@@LifeOfReillyTV thank you!!
❤ awesome! This is a great help as I’ll be going in May 2023. Can’t wait to get there & take lots of photos!
So glad it’s helped with your planning, Toscana!! Have an amazing time!!!!
Ooooh, sourdough bowls with clam chowder… So good and I say that coming from a country famous for the wide variety of breads (Germany), Boudin‘s is AMAZING!
It has a unique depth of flavour that you just don’t get with other breads. We love it too! Will you get to go back and try it soon?
@@LifeOfReillyTV Oh, I do hope so 🤩
Nice video! I’m impressed with sights of San Francisco😍 Keep doing it
Thanks Arsen!!! 😊😊 We’ll keep ‘em coming!!
I love my beautiful city of San Francisco.
It’s a special city! 😍
@@LifeOfReillyTV Yes it is a special city.
Thank you very much my friend have a Blessed & glorious week ahead.
Such an awesome trip
Thank you!!! We loved it!!!
How long and how much time did you spend on your golden gate round trip ? Thank you for sharing your videos
Good questions, Derby. I've just been through my phone to work it out. I think we got on our bikes around 10.30am and took my last photo on my phone, heading back down to the city back at the other side of the 2 hours later, so we probably got back 1pm. But, we also stopped to film some bits to camera a few times...and we had some young ones on bikes so we weren't super-fast. It probably took us 2h30 but you could do it faster or allow 3 hours to be safe? Also, we turned around right at the end of the bridge, we didn't go into Sausalito.
It’s about time someone said something positive about San Francisco
It's an amazing city!!! It will be back to its best soon enough, I'm certain.
Great video
Thanks Erick!! 😎👍
Which month and dates did you go ?
Hi Vineet, we were there in the third week of July. The weather is great but be ready to have a sweatshirt at all times!!
This was a GREAT video 😃it had me pumped up and ready to come to San Francisco, it has always been my dream to walk across The Golden Gate Bridge 🙏 I can't wait 🕊Thank you for this inspiration 😘
Glad you enjoyed it, Devlin!! I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Let us know how you get on! 🌁🌉
I really enjoyed your video. Our family are going to SF for the holiday season. We are planning to get the Clipper cards. Did you guys use the public transportation at all? Thx
Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed it. The Clipper is great if you’re getting BART but you might not need it. Check out this video of ours: ruclips.net/video/BGr3iqzh5YA/видео.html
Thank you lot's and god bless you lovely Familly
Our pleasure, Hadj! Have an amazing trip!! 😎👍
biking puts you by the road on the bridge. Walking next to the edge is not fun if you get vertigo lol. But I walked the whole thing and enjoyed it
Ha ha. I didn't feel too bad being next to it but I know the bridge can feel very high for some people. Walking is just as good as cycling, I'm sure. Thanks for posting!
Great video thxq for sharing beautiful familys ,me n my hubby when to pier 39 the past weekend for my early bday n was so nice down There I live in Fresno I never been around that much place in San Francisco. We have walk across the golden gate those took us almost an hours if I remember. Have to go back again for golden gate n more to to see.☺️
Glad you enjoyed it, Jake!!! It sounds as though you need to go back again as there are more things to do!!!
Currently flying out there. Carnt wait, But a little apprehensive about the issues. But to be honest every where has some issue. Also SFO is a massive life goal to go and see along with a few more on this trip.
I’ll be really interested to find out what you think, Steve. Quite a few comments on the video are from people who don’t live there and just what they’ve heard or seen on a RUclips video. When we were there, we saw the normal “interesting” people that you see in every major city but otherwise it was the same as a decade ago, in the tourist areas. Have a great trip!
Where are you guys coming from?
I was living in San Francisco for a few years back in 90’s .
I don’t miss live there but it’s good to going back to visit sometime.
We live in the UK. We always love going back to San Francisco! We try to go back every other year. 😀👍
@@LifeOfReillyTV
Thank you so much for your reply and let me know where you from! Seems like you guys love San Francisco. I thought you guys are from out of state in USA? Thank you for coming to USA traveled! 👍👏☝️🙋♀️💯😆
No worries, Deb. We catch a few people out with one of us having and English accent and the other a US one!! We’re looking forward to returning to California this summer! 😎👍
that was good i have never been to san fran i am from england i seen that they allow people to swim from alcatraz to the mainland its with a boat crew
Glad you enjoyed it, Paul. I’ve not seen anyone do the swim but it’s going to be my next Google search. 😀👍
There are a couple of competitive swimming events every year to swim too and from "the Rock" if you are a serious swimmer!
Woah, no way!! That must be brutal!!! I'd love to watch them though!!
Nice video.
Thanks Kenny!! And thanks for taking the time to tell us! 😎👍
Your family are super lovely ^-^
Thanks Ben, that’s made my day!!😊😊
Hi, how many days you need to see all attractions
Hi there, we did most of the sights over two days but we did pack a lot in. You can take it as fast or slow as you would like. You could easily spend half a day on Alcatraz and a whole day in the Academy of Sciences, if you wanted to. Everything is very close, so you can go to loads of places quickly and easily. Have a great trip!! :-)
I’ve been watching your video on San Francisco as I’m going in October for my best mate’s 50th. Great video.
Love the editing and music too. Going to make a video of my own. Not sure it will be as good as yours but want to record some memories.
Thanks Lloyd, glad you’re enjoying them!!! Making videos is such a great way to transport yourself back somewhere and keep those memories alive!! Make sure you add the link to your video, as I’d love to see it! Have an awesome trip!!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV Could I ask for some advice please? My friend has asked me to prepare an itinerary for SF. We are there for 3 nights followed by 4 nights in Vegas.
On Day 1 we won’t have much time for sightseeing as we land at 3.35pm. So I have just gone for a Chinese meal in Chinatown.
Day 2 we are doing Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Fisherman’s Wharf and riding bikes across the GG Bridge.
On Day 3 I wanted to see Twin Peaks, GG Park, Baker Beach and lunch in Restaurant in Sausalito before heading back to the city. What is the best way to get around on day 3? I thought about Uber to Twin Peaks and then walking to GG Park but it’s about a 3 mile walk. Then I thought Uber to Sausalito before taking ferry back to city. Do you have any thoughts on my plans or suggestions for getting around?
Hi Lloyd, you’ve picked out all of the cool things to do, so well done! I reckon, the Bridge, Coit, Alcatraz and wharf are quite a lot to do in one day. You might want to separate the bridge from Alcatraz so you’re not rushing to make your booked slot, as they can both easily be half-day activities. If you’re wanting to do Sausalito, you could cycle over the bridge for lunch - and either cycle or get the ferry back.
As for the park etc, catch a tram (not cable car) or a bus. They’re really cheap and safe. You can always Uber, if you like though.
@@LifeOfReillyTV Thanks for your help.
No worries. 😎👍
Hi beautiful family!
thank you so much for sharing. I will be traveling to San Francisco this summer with my 2 kids. 7 and 9 if you don’t mind me asking where did you buy your Alcatraz tickets? I was looking in the website you provided but it says children 12 and up did you have any issues to go behind the scenes with your children ?
Thank you !
Hi Mery, thanks for the lovely message!! Kids are absolutely fine. They're free 4 and under, 5-11 they have kid's prices and 12-17 Junior tickets. You 12 year old will be 11 that day, won't they?!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉 Have an amazing trip!!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV Thank you so much for your reply! Blessings to your beautiful family.
Thanks Mery!! 🙏
Thanks for the review. I hate public transport, so is this city easier to navigate via car?
No worries. I would say that SF is a public transport city. The buses and trams are always 30 seconds away. And there isn’t loads of parking. We made a video about that, actually: ruclips.net/video/BGr3iqzh5YA/видео.html
It would be a dream come true to visit! I honestly wouldn't ever come back home either. 🤣
Ha ha. I’m sure you’ll get there one day!! 🤞
Great video...!!! Thanks
Thanks Terry, glad you liked it!!! Hope it helps your next trip!!! 😎👍
Loved the content , sorry playing catch up .
Ha ha. Thanks Robb. Binge away!! 😀👍
Nice one. San Francisco is awesome. I wanna get back there soon. 👍
Thanks!! It’ll be worth it when you do. Those streets never get old! 🌉
May i know the name of the bike rental? Do they have quality bike?
Absolutely, Donn. We went with Bike & View on Lombard Street. They were great.
@@LifeOfReillyTV thank you
@@LifeOfReillyTV do they have fb page or website? Also, do they give map tour ?
Hi Donn, no problem. I’m sure they have a map tour. Here’s their website. Let them know we sent you, when you go! 😀 bikeandview.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAkrWdBhBkEiwAZ9cdcKjBqY8RTrxRpQjNkkctozZWIwJj40aScrDivYPeXuIdhVfnADgkJhoCgEEQAvD_BwE
A+ for using a Matt Nathanson song!
Thanks!! 😍😍
If I could visit San Francisco, the first place
I would go to would be Haight Ashbury!
This is because many hippies used to live
there during the 60s.
Yes!! Ali's Dad was one of them!! Ha ha. That area feels frozen in time still too, which is great!
How much time will take cross the bridge on bike? (average)
The bridge is pretty fast, around 20 mins depending on how often you stop for photos...or little kids!! It takes double that to get there, depending on where you rent your bike from. Have a great time!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV thanks, I took me and hour enjoying the views, taking some pictures here and there. Ride about 15km and also took the ferry. Was amazing, loved the city.
Sorry, I took so long to reply...I was working at the Olympics, so really busy!! I'm glad you had such a great trip!!! It's a very cool city with lots to see!!
I love California but I never been to San Francisco I would really take a chance to visit there but it's very expensive.
Ahh, you should go! Even for a long weekend you’ll see loads. Two nights at a hotel/motel? You could stay just outside the city and travel in on BART each day, if that’s cheaper? Hope you get there!! 😎👍
How did you get the drone shots?
I thought most of San Francisco was in a no fly zone?
I’m off there 12th September and would love to fly my dji mini 3 249g drone
Nice!! Yes, it’s a no fly zone, unsurprisingly. We were working with Visit California so they gave me the shots I needed. 😀 Have an awesome trip. There are still some great drone shots to be had. Once you get to the beaches, you should be ok again.
‘We don’t want to wake him up or he might punch us’ was my highlight 😂😂😂
Ha ha. Jet lagged kids!! ☠️💀☠️💀
Yeah very much love .no longer.say hello to everybody in there ❤
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Hi. Really enjoyed this. I went to SF in 2018, as it was on my bucket list. I always wanted to go to Alcatraz as I teach Criminology 😂 . I could not cycle over the bridge at the time, so I will just have to go back. 👍 Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video!! 😊 Alcatraz is fascinating enough without being a Criminology lecturer...I'd have wanted to stick with you on the tour!! With you not doing the bikes, I think you have a great reason to go back!!! 😉 Make sure you book some time to go to Muir Woods/Napa/Sonoma if you do go back!! ruclips.net/video/a0sKd7NSixk/видео.html
I used to work on Alcatraz. Plan on booking weeks in advance and you are someone who would love the night tour. A small group is lead by a ranger/guide into parts of the cell house not open to the general public. It costs more, but if you are looking for more than the audio tour, it's a great value!
This sounds really fun!! Alcatraz at night!!!!! 😱
I enjoyed your video but for a local guide I would have expected more hidden and lesser known places. But still a great video. All the best from the city from a German tour guide there.
Thanks Frank! We’re concentrating on places you HAVE to go in our hero videos. We hope to do the “local’s guide” at some point though. I hope work has picked up for you since Covid - how was this summer?
Do families enjoy trips to SF? My sister lives there but I've never really thought of it as a family trip destination for some reason.
We all loved it. So many famous sights to see and experiences to be had. They love seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in movies and say they’ve been on it!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV Yeah definitely fun to visit. Spent Thanksgiving there and we did the Legion of Honor and saw the symphony. As far as residents though, they actually have the least amount of kids under 18 in the whole US because of rent and housing and cost of living. Most young families take off for the suburbs or surrounding areas.
Yes, that makes sense. A bit like central London. We always stay with family just outside SF and travelled in each time for the sights/attractions.
Yes .. yes … and yes …just the D best city in North America if not the whole world…
😎👍
Lombard Street
I wouldn’t recommend parking nearby and leaving your car to explore other parts of the city - the car break-in problem is a risk.
Yes, true. I meant parking in a safe parking lot.
Ohhh. I forgot. Do you mind me ask what section of town you were raised in? I love San Francisco my wife thinks I'm crazy 🙄
Ha ha. We love San Francisco - there are so many cool neighborhoods. Alicia grew up in Berkeley, so just outside SF. 😀
Welcome to San Francisco City, City by the Bay! Feel free to explore our city. And, don't forget how poignant we are around the fine arts.
Be thinking wine, cheese, fruit, and seafood for a healthy version of a wholesome benign diet.
Fab!!! Thanks Kristy!!!! You're right, we did the family version...there is LOTS more to see, for all!!!

Boudin sourdough bread almost went out of business because they are the least flavorful sourdough bread sold in the Bay Area and they are in business based on pure hype
yup. that is correct.. if you can get their bread at sfo, its no good. so much better there than boudin
I ordered Boudin's thru uber and it was horrible. The bread was stale and they skimped on the meat and toppings.
Was San Francisco dangerous full of homeless people? Im thinking of going but lots of people say its gone really downhill and not as good as it used to be. Did you hire a car too?
We went two years ago (towards the end of Covid) and it was fine. We stuck to the “touristy” areas and saw the usual number of homeless. I think people are frustrated that the city isn’t what it used to be. We’re heading up there in a few weeks so I’ll try to find out more. It could be a great time to visit as it’s so quiet. We rented a car but only because we were travelling to Southern California. We didn’t drive it into San Francisco at all.
Local here. I can’t deny that homelessness is indeed a problem for our city. You are almost guaranteed to see them at some point. But to be clear, it’s not as if they are present on every street or even every neighborhood. There are some blocks of SF that look terrible, yet others that are some of the most beautiful urban vistas in the country. SF has a grimy side but also gorgeous landscape and architecture, distinct and walkable neighborhoods (rare in the US), delicious food, iconic landmarks, and tolerant and open minded people. You also don’t have to stay in SF proper, nearby you can also visit Sausalito, Muir Woods, Napa (wine country), Silicon Valley, Monterey, and Santa Cruz.
Know what neighborhood you’re going into, don’t flash pricy camera equipment or leave valuables in your car. Prepare to see a bit of zaniness if you stumble into the wrong area. Bring warm clothing and have a good time!
Wearing layers IS important!,
Was there a point during your trip that you felt unsafe? We're planning on going there but it's a bit discouraging hearing all the negative news about the city.
Hi there, we honestly felt safe the whole time. And we had a camera out filming, so very visible and an easy target for someone. We’ve been coming here for 20 years and it didn’t feel any different to normal. We were only in the very touristy areas though.
@@LifeOfReillyTV I see. Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like we'll have to stay around the tourist areas just to be safe.
Most of San Francisco is a touristy area, so don’t feel you can’t go where you want to go. There’s no way you’d be aiming to go to the dodgy areas anyway. Have fun! Let us know how it goes. 😀👍
@@riffguru just stay away from the Bart stations, tenderloin district, market st and mission st I would say the rest of the city is pretty fine for tourists. (There are of course much worse areas but those are far from the nice areas anyways)
I keep seeing all kinds of videos with homeless people and needles everywhere? Did you experience that as well?
Hi there, we filmed this two years ago and released it a year ago. When we went, everything was just as you expect in a big city - so you see the odd homeless person. We stayed in the touristy areas though but did know there were a few more no-go areas than normal. It was definitely not the Walking Dead. You could argue that the city might’ve been worse when we went, during Covid, but reports aren’t great at the moment. From what friends and family have said, it’s not like it was 10 years ago but you can still visit the major landmarks safely. I hope that helps.
👏🥇👍
Thanks Marius!!! 😎👍
First time I went there I took a friend from the UK, she got robbed, second time there I got robbed without knowing it, car was busted into and then went to look around the shops, so many were empty, and it seemed there were so many homeless people and many needles on the street so never going back
Cops can’t do anything because it’s seen as police brutality. They don’t want to mess with all that stuff
The state actually decriminalized drug users with the purpose of going after dealers but its backfiring
I live next door in San Mateo county. I wouldn’t set foot in that dump. And that’s from someone who was born and raised there.
I'm going to guess that David is a Capricorn and Alicia is a Leo.
Wow, you’re good!! You got Ali right. And almost me!! How did you guess so well - or did we give it away in a video?!!
@@LifeOfReillyTVI meant Alicia not Cynthia. What is David's actual sign? The reason why I guessed those signs is because you 2 look like those signs to me.
Impressive!! I’m an Aquarius, but a v early one so you were only a couple of days out. Ali’s a Leo just like you guessed!! 👏👏
The kid looked so annoyed lol
Ha ha. He was annoyed for the first two DAYS!! “Why have you put me on a plane and then stuck me on the back of a bike on a bridge?!!” 😂
@@LifeOfReillyTV hahaha take care of him ,he's so cute
Don't worry, we will. We kinda like him too!! Ha ha.

Was there homeless ppl here ?
We were in the tourist areas so didn't see any that I can remember but there must have been some because every US city has homelessness. We didn't see a Skid Row when we were there, if that's what you mean? I'm sure there is one but we didn't see it.
Yes there are many this RUclips channel is trying very hard to be overly positive about the city. It’s true you can go to plenty touristy areas but this city is the worst city in the USA in terms of homeless drug overdoses and robberies also by size. We have more homeless per capita than any city
They’re everywhere in the city, even the tourist areas.
From my experience it’s everywhere and many are mentally Ill it’s sad honestly feels like the Great Depression came. Its everywhere in the city but it seemed like they were on every block more than let’s say LA
Who are you kidding?
2005 time is gone
How do you shield the children from the open drug use and public defecation on the streets ?
We literally didn’t see any of this. We were only in the tourist areas. We saw a couple of homeless people but nothing different to any other Californian city. It wasn’t the Walking Dead, though. I’ve heard it’s in the Tenderloin but not the WHOLE city.
but be aware of smash and grab, leave nothing inside yr vehicle / rental vehicle , DO NOT think it won't happen to you even you are few meters away from yr vehicle ! San Francisco wasn't like 10 years ago, homeless everywhere, make sure you don't visit or walk thru City Hall at night ( after dinner little walk for 10mins ) FYI even camera crew got robbed twice in TwinPeak !
Don’t forget the tenderloin
Ha ha. Very funny. He's joking, people.
I heard San Francisco is too dangerous.
It is mainly dangerous (in terms of violent crime and robberies) around the tenderloin district which is quite central San Francisco, if you are staying around fisherman’s wharf, only pickpocketing occurs as in every city. However San Francisco as a whole has gone downhill but is still quite safe to visit if you know where not to go
I wouldn't say it's dangerous at all. It's an amazing city and we felt safe everywhere we went. We did stay in the touristy areas though. Every city has bad areas and crime, I'm sure San Francisco is no different. I know San Francisco had more problems than most during the pandemic but I wouldn't class it as dangerous.
@@LifeOfReillyTV where did you stay, im visiting in october from the UK and am looking for where the best location is?
Hi Tyler, we actually stayed with family in Oakland during this trip but we've stayed in Union Square before and there are loads of family friendly hotels/motels around Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf, which is close to everything. I'd probably check with the TripAdvisor Forum to see where people have stayed recently.
San Francisco is not safe at all...it's a nice video, but that place is a nightmare. And there is no "nice area"... refer to the recent murder of CashApp founder Bob Lee who was stabbed to death on the street in the "nice area". Mr. Lee had recently fled to Florida to get away from the decaying San Francisco and was only back in the bay to tie-up loose ends from the move...his children are now fatherless...wife left a single mother. It's not a one off, it's a pattern of crime that is relentless in San Francisco. In addition, if you make the mistake of driving a car there...they will bash out your windows and take anything they want. Good luck 🤷♂️...
First place to go is the Tenderloin, get your drugs here , then down to fisherman's Warf , you can make money breaking into tourist rental cars ! then a night down over to china town to get some young stuff , wink wink !
i approve this message
Suka
Can I wear my body armor and carry my M4?? Because we all have seen the crime, drugs, homeless, and shit on the sidewalks???😮
Don't go!!!
Go !!!
*Do a LOT of research. It's NOT safe or even tolerable!*
We literally went there and didn’t see this post-apocalyptic world!! I’ve heard it’s in the Tenderloin but we chose not to go there.
Save your money… it’s a dump
Them's fighting words! Yes, we have our problems, especially after COVID and the drug cricis affecting all the U.S. but we are still "the City by the Bay."
i would also add its a dumpster fire... its not a place for tourists at all. if you live in The City, youre effectively trapped by the high crime surrounding you
heres the best planning.. dont ever go there. seriously. its not a place for families, or just about anyone.. crime is high and so are all the people on the sidewalk.. i live just south of The City, havent been back in three years. its a dumpster fire of immense proportions.. anyone who subjects their family to staying there is doing themselves a disservice.
Don't go there!
Go visit and have a great time 😊😊😊😊
This city is completely lawless be careful vacationing here. High crime for cellphone snatching and being held up at gunpoint.
We really didn't experience that when we were in San Francisco. Every major city has pickpockets and crime. There are some definite no-go areas in SF but all the tourist areas felt safe.
@@LifeOfReillyTV I was robbed in a tourist area and want all tourists to be aware because it isn't talked about and it looks nice. I never want anyone to endure what I endured. For a tourist who gets robbed, they will lose their form of support/communication/passport/way home.
It’s gotten worse i went their before the pandemic and you really had a unsafe feeling. But now I can’t imagine
