Welcome to San Fernando City Tours. I’m Mark, your tour guide. We have a lot to see in three hours, so make sure you’re comfortable! We’ll be travelling into the historical district first, and then into the town centre. After that, it’s out to the harbour, and we’ll finish up at the lighthouse, just past the harbour. That will take us up to midday, and after that, you’re free to do what you want.

At the lighthouse, you’ll have a chance to visit the tea room and take photographs of the magnificent coastline. Now. as we have only three hours. we won’t be able to take you around the shopping district, but we think you’d prefer to look around the shops there in your own time, anyway.

San Fernando has some well—known tourist attractions - the lighthouse for example, and the National Library. However, the little—known Military Museum is not to be missed. Be sure to visit before you leave!

Now, there’s a lot to do in San Fernando. Indeed, there really is something for everyone! For those who love the water, I can recommend a trip on the Seafarer, one of the most famous boats on the San Fernando River. it does an evening trip with a three-course meal included. it’s great fun for everyone.

but especially for young people in their teens or twenties - after nine there’s a disco on the boat and it gets really lively! Then there’s a climbing wall near the town centre. It’s incredibly popular, with a large wall for expert climbers, and a smaller wall for novices. There’s also a junior wall and a creche, so it’s a great day out for those of you with kids.

And if you like walking, there are some great walking tours. The City Sights Tour is highly recommended, as is the walking tour by the coast. But that one’s only for the fit, not really suitable for children or the elderly. For more mature people or those less able to get around, I would suggest a tour around the vineyards. It can be done in the luxury of a coach, and it’s a wonderful way to explore the region’s wines.
