So, you ended up in San Francisco with new colleagues. San Francisco has been at the forefront for so many American stories. From the beginning of the American dream with the search for gold to the sexual revolution in the 80s, San Francisco has it all.
However, outside of a monotonous cubicle, even the Golden Gate Bridge doesn’t look majestic. So, for getting a feel of the place it's absolutely vital that you try traveling. And with San Francisco’s rich and vibrant background you won’t be lacking in options. You can plan ahead and arrange for transportation accordingly. The first option is, of course, to rent cars for the transport of the entire group, but, in a city like San Francisco, it can lead to a lot of confusion. You might rent a San Francisco charter bus and get a proper quotation to get through the entire trip without any problems.
