San Francisco Presidio Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Utforska Presidios huvudpost på en fängslande tvåtimmars vandringstur, fördjupa dig i blandningen av historiska och moderna utrymmen, med höjdpunkter som de imponerande Presidio-tunneltopparna. Gräv djupare in i de osynliga skatterna, när en expertguide avslöjar spännande berättelser om tidigare invånare, berättar om parkens pulserande historia med gripande berättelser om en destruktiv brand, en hjärtskärande kärlekssaga och det anmärkningsvärda mod som soldater visar. En tragisk brand, en sorglig kärlekshistoria som utlöste ett rykte om ett spöke och heroiska berättelser om några av dem som begravdes på National Cemetery (inklusive Buffalo Soldiers!) – vi kommer att dela allt detta med dig inklusive detaljer om vad det är gillar att bo och arbeta här i denna nationalpark. (Obs: Det krävs minst 2 personer för att boka denna turné.) Mer information om oss finns direkt på JB Walking Tours hemsida.

Resplan
Med utgångspunkt från Lodge at the Presidio, tar vår 2 mil långa promenad på Main Post i Presidio oss genom historiska stadsdelar, förbi de äldsta delarna av San Francisco och in på National Cemetery. Längs vägen kommer vi att dela berättelser om människorna som har bott och arbetat här under Presidios 240+ år. Du kommer att höra berättelser om olycksdrabbade älskare, en husbrand som drabbar en berömd general och hans familj, och berättelser om hjältar och en spion begravd på National Cemetery. Vi ger dig en översikt över San Franciscos historia och Presidios roll i dess tillväxt. Från och med som hem för Ohlone-infödingarna, till en spansk, sedan mexikansk militär utpost, sedan den amerikanska arméns bas till nationalparkens plats, är Presidio nu en park för folket! Vår vandring möts vid Lodge på Presidio. Hoppas att vi ses där!
Berättelser om Buffalo Soldiers, en facklig spion och en lokal hjälte från Bay Area kommer att fånga din fantasi, tillsammans med den spektakulära utsikten från National Cemetery Overlook. Se till att ta med din kamera, utsikten över bukten och Golden Gate-bron kommer säkert att inspirera!

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!
