Creator's Key Takeaways

We took advantage of the extended stay to explore the city on foot and then tooling around the next day in perfect Bay Area style, the Whimo Robocar.

San Francisco is best experienced on foot with all its quirky neighborhoods and urban hiking, but Whimo cut down the exhaustion factor when we needed it most.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to get up early for the sail-in, which is well one of the great approaches of the world.
Pre-book Alcatraz Island Tour ahead of time.
Use the MUN mobile app for public transport fares and payment methods.
Take the free shuttle system in Golden Gate Park to save time and legs.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cold weather during sail-inBundle up, as it was cold when getting up early for the sail-in.
Navigating self-driving car pickupUse a pin location exactly like Uber; it's a bit tricky figuring where Whimo will pick you up.
