Visite à pied du Presidio de San Francisco
Description
Explorez le poste principal du Presidio lors d'une visite à pied captivante de deux heures, en vous plongeant dans un mélange d'espaces historiques et modernes, avec des points forts tels que les impressionnants tunnels du Presidio. Plongez plus profondément dans les trésors invisibles, alors qu'un guide expert révèle les histoires intrigantes d'anciens habitants, racontant l'histoire vibrante du parc avec des histoires poignantes sur un incendie destructeur, une saga d'amour déchirante et le courage remarquable affiché par les soldats. Un incendie tragique, une triste histoire d'amour qui a déclenché une rumeur de fantôme et des histoires héroïques de certaines des personnes enterrées dans le cimetière national (y compris les Buffalo Soldiers !) - nous partagerons tout cela avec vous, y compris des détails sur ce que c'est. J'aime vivre et travailler ici dans ce parc national. (Remarque : un minimum de 2 personnes est requis pour réserver cette visite.) Plus de détails sur nous peuvent être trouvés directement sur le site Web de JB Walking Tours.

Itinéraire
En partant du Lodge at the Presidio, notre promenade de 2 miles sur le poste principal du Presidio nous mènera à travers des quartiers historiques, devant les parties les plus anciennes de San Francisco et dans le cimetière national. En cours de route, nous partagerons des histoires sur les personnes qui ont vécu et travaillé ici au cours des plus de 240 ans du Presidio. Vous entendrez des histoires d'amants malheureux, un incendie de maison affectant un célèbre général et sa famille, et des histoires de héros et d'un espion enterrés au cimetière national. Nous vous donnerons un aperçu de l'histoire de San Francisco et du rôle de Presidio dans sa croissance. D'abord la maison des indigènes d'Ohlone, puis un avant-poste militaire espagnol, puis mexicain, puis une base de l'armée américaine jusqu'au site du parc national, le Presidio est maintenant un parc pour les gens ! Notre promenade se retrouve au Lodge du Presidio. Espérons vous y voir!
Les histoires de Buffalo Soldiers, d'un espion de l'Union et d'un héros local de la région de la baie captiveront votre imagination, ainsi que la vue spectaculaire depuis le National Cemetery Overlook. Assurez-vous d'apporter votre appareil photo, la vue sur la baie et le Golden Gate Bridge ne manquera pas d'inspirer !

We had an amazing tour of the Presidio of San Francisco! Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to warm up to right away. Julie shared so much interesting history and insight without it ever feeling overwhelming. The time flew by. We honestly didn’t even notice that over two hours had passed. It was engaging from start to finish, and we walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the Presidio. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or even locals who want to learn more.
Thanks CSOCH! It was super fun to share the Presidio with you and your family. Hope to catch you on another tour (as we discussed!) -Julie
Julie Brown has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Presidio and has the personality to bring it alive. A must do if you’re in San Francisco!
My father and I recently did the Presidio walking tour with Julie and we would highly recommend it! The physical location is absolutely beautiful in relation to the Golden Gate Bridge. The history of the area is quite rich, from its indigenous origins, to Spanish occupation, US Military base history, and up to it's current day status as beautiful park open to the public. If you like interesting US history, you'll love the tour. Julie has impressive inside knowledge of it all and she brings a real care and passion for the subject matter. Julie also went above and beyond helping my father and I find the barracks he was once stationed at many years ago. A truly special and memorable experience!
Don’t overlook visiting the Presidio when you travel to San Francisco. Tour guide Julie Brown provides fascinating details and historical context that help you understand the city as a whole. In addition to the history, the Presidio offers spectacular views that you get nowhere else in the city. Start here, then do other San Francisco tours afterward.
JB knows a lot about the Presidio Trust since she worked for them. It’s a beautiful area with lots of history. Make sure to see the grave of the union spy in the cemetary.
We have been on a lot of tours in a lot of countries but this had to be the best. JB walking tour is a must! You learn so much history about the Presidio and JB knows so many stories and interesting facts about the people who called the Presidio their home. I cannot say enough good things about the tour. I am having the rest of my family make sure they book this tour when they come to visit San Francisco.
What a great time we had on the Presidio walking tour. The setting itself is amazing and Julie brought it to life by telling us about the park’s history. She’s a fantastic tour guide — warm, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. This tour is highly recommended.
Julie is an excellent guide: knowledgeable and very personable. She explains all about the history of the Presidio, management structure and architectural details. She used to work there and now lives in housing in the Presidio. A wonderful way to spend 2 hours.
Julie was such a great tour guide very personable and full of knowledge. I went with a group of friends and we all had a great time. We learned things we never knew before about San Francisco, the Presidio and the GG!!! I especially liked the Pet Cemetary. I highly recommend this tour it was a great way to do something different outside.
I’ve lived in SF for 30+ years and Julie answered all the questions I’ve ever had about the Presidio! Thank you!
