Our three to four hour guided walking tour of San Francisco will take you to 14
of the most interesting sites in the city while you listen to rich stories about
each stop. Even long-time San Francisco residents are amazed by how much they
enjoy and learn from these tours. The tour is great fun and you are totally in
control of your tour; it's at your pace and starts and stops when YOU decide!
The tour has been designed to minimize uphill walking and, with two exceptions,
you are walking on flat ground. You will also ride a vintage street car along the
waterfront and ride up one of the steepest hills in San Francisco through Russian
and Nob Hills aboard a cable car!
A list of each stop on the tour is below. During parts of the tour, we may tell
you about a web site where you can get more information on what you are seeing
such as current operating hours, etc. For your convenience, we have listed those
sites under the stop in which they are mentioned. You can also listen to samples
of a few parts of the tour by clicking the "Listen" button.
