Yay! Finally, America. 🙄 California here we come! I am going to assume/predict that you'll be visiting the new Aman properties in Utah and New York. 😉
great to see you in my home state mr. Expert! San Francisco and the Bay Area brings back so many childhood memories for me. Hope to see you at the Aman Beverly Hills in 2026 if you come back to California again!
apart from the wonderful views you showcased here and the comprehensive review of the hotel, I have one question: do you happen to know the bike model your son was riding? I love it, looks so elegant, yet sporty. Anyways, love your video, hope to someday pay a visit to San Francisco and stay at the Presidio
Did you know that the bridge used to have a lower layer too, for trains? My cousin was driving over the bridge in her car when the big earthquake hit (1989) – that was quite traumatic. I love the park and the atmospheric images but they can keep their fog, thank you very much. Every day around 3 PM it came rolling in over the bay, making it humid and chilly. I think I prefer the Maldives and Tahiti 😉
I'm opting in for the Expert showing all room categories in a hotel or resort review… Upvote this if you also mean he should do this.
Some time later watching the expert you'll realize there are more classes of hotels. 5-star, like Hilton and Marriott and so on. And something above, like Aman, Rocco Forte etc.
bora bora seems to be a great competitor to Soneva from the maldives.
SPECTACULAR VIEWS!! FRESH OCEAN BREEZE!! BEAUTIFUL WELL KEPT HISTORICAL LANDMARKS & YOGI BEAR PARKS!😀
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
boring video…no talking, just walking around, everyone can do this…yea..some typings here and there, BFD..
What, Dr. LTE?? You were in town and didn't let me know? I could have joined you for cocktails and enjoyed the lovely view of the GG Bridge with you! If you stand in the middle of the bridge, facing east and look across the Bay, you will see a hill close to the Bay. I live about 1/2 mile behind that hill. In any event, I enjoyed seeing what has occurred at the Presidio during the many years since I last visited. Sometimes it takes an out-of-towner to show you what's so close to home. Hope you enjoyed our refreshing fog and the Pacific Ocean.
But did you pet the Golden Retriever?
❤ interesting!
As Mark Twain is often quoted as saying "the coldest winter i ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco". San Francisco is really a beautiful city. I often visited the Presidio, but never stayed there.
"…a navy-hued carpet…" And not a bit of O D Green to be seen! Oh, my goodness. How the world has changed since the 1960's. Thank you, Doctor, for a wonderful journey!
What a terrific video! Such a wonderful job capturing this truly gorgeous place in America’s most beautiful city. Thank you.
Have a beautiful day Sunday ❤️
When did you take this trip?
Hello. Thank-you for your new video. I enjoyed this video.
This is beautiful place, and this historic hotel is nice !
Your traveling video everytime is nice. I love your channel.
It is like being there. Unfortunately in 2020 we had to cancel our trip to California due to Covid. Watching your video encourages me to think about this again. Many thanks! 🙏
So glad you went to the national cemetery there. My wife’s gr-grandad is buried there, in the ellipse. He led the 30th Inf. Division in WWI and commanded the Hawaiian Department after the war. He was stationed at the Presidio many times, and loved being there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mann_Lewis
You just really have that talent to make me want to visit those places you've been.
Hey Traveler. I Love San Francisco. I've been there twice. Those foggy San Fran mornings were classic. I've stayed at the Embarcadero and the St. Francis hotels. Very nice indeed.
San Francisco definitely has its problems but it is still one of the most beautiful cities in the country. I recently came back from a visit and I found the streets clean and people out shopping and enjoying the stunning views. Yes… there are too many mentally ill and homeless people wandering but in general, I found the city is mostly back. The food was amazing and I enjoyed all the distinct neighborhoods with their own unique character and residents.
Great tour. I love San Francisco. 👍
May I ask what camera you are using ?
Very peaceful. I like it. 👌👌👌
Very well done!
I always wanted to explore that area, but never had the time while visiting SF.
Really cool room with a beautiful view.
I lived in the Bay Area for more than 20 years. The Presidio never looked like this. What an awesome renovation.
We visit San Francisco all the time as Bay Area residents. The Presidio is our go to place, I’m soo happy it got some recognition. Thank you for visiting!!!
