Highlights

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.

About San Francisco

San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
