Recently I took a much deserved holiday break in San Francisco, a city I’ve always wanted to see. Based on a recommendation by my boss (thanks Steve!) I booked a San Francisco tour from Trusted Tours and Attraction. They’ve got great deals and I find their customer to be friendly, professional and prompt.The first place I went to after arriving at San Francisco on a sunny Saturday was to visit the Golden Gate Park. I couldn’t wait to see the park and even ate my lunch along the way just so I can experience all that the picturesque park can offer. I was at the Japanese Tea Garden nestled within the park and it felt like I was in Japan. The only thing they didn’t have was the blooming sakura trees but it was compensated by the authentic tea house and exquisite structures. After that the tour group was ferried off to the Steinhart Aquarium situated near the park where we were treated to a dazzling display of almost 700 species of marine life. The next stop on our tour was the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum which, our pleasant tour guide told us, was established by Charles M. Schultz, creator of the world famous “Peanuts” comic strip. I am an ardent comic book fan and the experience of seeing the precious collection of comic art being displayed was very enlightening!

There are so many more things to do in San Francisco and you should discover them all yourself, because you’ll not regret spending time there. Next I’m gonna check out things to do in Las Vegas as well as search for information about the Madame Tussauds museum in New York by logging on to Trusted Tours and Attractions. Also do look out for their informative online travel guides. As a bonus they are offering a $150 iTunes gift card if you sign up for their newsletter at http://www.trustedtours.com/newsletter.aspx.
