If you'll be chartering the boat/truck, maybe you could ask for a little more of that? You know which tour IS pretty educational? The motorized cable car tours that you grab right in front of Pier 39. Those go over Nob Hill, which lends itself well to historical commentary.

They are mostly middle school age and I was hoping it would be very historically educational besides being a unique fun trip. Did you find it to be educational?

The Duck tour sounds just whacky enough to appeal to kids. What a memory maker. Love the idea of an “only child” weekend for you and your son.
