The San Francisco area has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, but the modern city of San Francisco was founded in the late 1700s, being a Spanish colony and then a Mexican city before becoming part of the United States after the Mexican-American War. The city as we know it today, however is an even more modern one; the city was almost completely destroyed by a devastating earthquake and fire in 1906. However, the residents of San Francisco quickly rebuilt and less than ten years later, San Francisco was host to the Panama-Pacific Exposition; a celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal which also served as a celebration of the city's dramatic rebirth. Today, the exposition's Palace of Fine Arts has been restored and is the home of San Francisco's interactive science museum The Exploratorium ; one of many museums in the city which your group can visit with San Francisco bus rentals.
San Francisco contains many neighborhoods with distinctive character, including the oldest Chinatown in the United States - this neighborhood is a popular tourist attraction, drawing many groups of visitors traveling in bus charters. The Haight-Ashbury area is world famous as the epicenter of the Summer of Love and is still a place which draws many tourists interested in the city's role in the social tumult of the 1960s. San Francisco's Castro district is home to a thriving gay and lesbian cultural scene, itself a large draw for tourists. No matter which parts of the city you and your group would like to visit, Metropolitan Shuttle's San Francisco bus rentals can get you there in comfort.
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of San Francisco's greatest tourist attractions and is one of the most photographed bridges in the United States. This is the second longest suspension bridge in the country (and was the longest until the construction of New York City's Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964), connecting San Francisco to its Marin County suburbs. This is one of San Francisco's must-see places; you may want to see it from the adjacent Golden Gate Park as well as take a drive across the bridge as do many San Francisco bus charters.
Of course, no visit to San Francisco would be complete without a trip to Alcatraz. The notorious prison was in operation as a state prison until 1963 and since 1972 has been a national park. Alctatraz's claim to fame is being one of the world's very few prisons which has never been successfully escaped from - two inmates did escape once, only to be lost at sea and presumed drowned; the prison was once home to notorious criminals including Al Capone and is a major tourist attraction.
