Description

I’m excited to show you why this walking tour is unlike any other in San Francisco! We’ll trace the city’s history from its wild Gold Rush days in Jackson Square to the wealth and elegance of Nob Hill’s railroad barons, and we'll ride an iconic cable car along the way. We'll go beyond the normal touristy sites and see the back streets and hidden alleyways that even San Franciscans don't know about! This is a fun, immersive adventure with plenty of interesting stories, local insights, and a chance to see the real San Francisco. When we finish the tour at the Ferry Building, you’ll have seen all the best the city has to offer and you'll feel like a local.

Philip was amazing. He was full of information, made recommendations on where to eat and visit while in San Francisco. The tour was great and the places we visited were amazing. Would definitely do this again.

SF - a new perspective

Brett was a friendly & knowledgeable guide. I am local & wasn't expecting to learn anything new about the city but I was wrong - saw the city from a different perspective & fell in love with SF all over again! I want to name a few but dont want them to be spoilers for others. Brett has some cool stories & trivia to share on the tour. Had some great conversations along the way & I also noticed he engaged everyone on the tour similarly. Totally worth it - dont miss it!

Incredible Experience

Our family had an amazing time on this walking tour! The pace was comfortable, and Britt brought San Francisco's history to life with fascinating stories and local knowledge you won't find in a guidebook (and we looked)! One of the highlights was a hidden viewpoint overlooking the city that we never would have discovered on our own. It offered an incredible perspective and some fantastic photos. We also loved visiting Grace Cathedral. Britt was right that it’s the most beautiful church in the city. The cable car ride was a fun bonus, and the whole experience felt personal, with great local knowledge. Highly recommended!

Great option to walk a few different areas if you are short on time.

This is a great way to see the different areas and neighborhoods if you are short on time, and you get to hop on a trolley! It was also a really good way to learn the history of the city. Britt was very friendly and he knows the history. Unfortunately due to the earthquake and fires in the early 1900’s most of the original city is gone. Britt had nice illustrations to bring it to life for us.
