Mac made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommended! If for nothing else, great stories and a way to get to know this little part of the city's history. The old photos of the city and the ghost detectors really added to the experience and we got to use the dowsing rods to talk to a spirit! Mac is the real deal, no B.S. You will love this tour!

Perfect morning for Yoga!
An amazing experience on the beach! The practice was tailored to our specific needs and how can you beat the sound of the waves crashing just yards from you??? Mats were provided so we didn't have to worry about getting ours sandy. We'll certainly do this next time we're back in San Diego.

The Walt Disney Family Museum Admission Ticket in San Francisco
532stephena, Aug 2026
If you want to experience everything Disney, this is the place to go.
If you are as interested in Walt Disney and his story from childhood to the current day, do not miss this museum. It was probably the most bang for our buck of the many things that we did in San Francisco on our nine trip there. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information, displays, and memorabilia that was present. I could have spent all day reading about Walt, his family, the parks, and the various enterprises and endeavors that he envisioned. See this museum!
