San Francisco Presidio Walking Tour

Julie was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about all things in Presidio. I highly recommend taking her tour.

The Presidio area was not what I expected, which made the information given very interesting, especially if you like history. Julie was a great guide and well informed. It ended up being just my daughter and I so, it was like a private tour. We walked the whole area, which fyi, was a previous military fort. That was one of the parts I didn't know. We even learned about Carl the Fog. There are panoramic views of the bay, parks and the Golden Gate Bridge when the fog cooperates. It was a great afternoon.

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.

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.
