Top San Francisco Walking Tours

Christian is an AMAZING tour guide —- funny, knowledgeable, engaging!! Such an entertaining and informative evening — not to mention the fabulous architecture along the way. We learned a lot about San Francisco history and culture! It is clear that Christian loves what he does and spends time researching the topic to be able to share multiple perspectives from various published sources associated with the people, events, and locations covered ( he sends a reference list after the tour so you can continue your reading on the topics). Our last stop was an enchanting hotel where we chose to visit the bar after the tour ended for a truly stunning and delicious cocktail! I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Our guide, Eric was great! He shared history of both San Francisco and the locations with pictures that helped to to better understand what we were seeing and why. He had a loud speaking voice that could be heard above the active streets we walked. He was a great story teller that was captivating throughout the tour. One note to those considering this tour: you have to walk up VERY steep hills (nobb hill). I had no problem and our guide gave plenty of time for everyone in our group to make it to the top, however if you struggle with walks that are more than a stroll, you might want to pass on this one. I personally enjoyed it so much, I might book it again when my husband can join me.

I had a wonderful time on this tour on September 14th. I was assigned a morning tour at Alcatraz, and I’m glad I started off there because its a “heavy” place mentally but I learned so much about the history of the island and the ongoing issues with the US prison system. Then I had a break to get some lunch before meeting up with the tour guide at Fisherman’s Wharf. The van ride was nice and we had a chance to take photos with the Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods was amazing. I did the full 2 mile loop which they advertise as taking 1.5 hours, and even though I’m not in good shape I am a fast walker and I completed it in a little under an hour (there are some stairs in the middle that allowed me down). The driving tour with stop at Palace of Fine Arts and cruising through China Town and Little Italy was cool.

A great day to be had. Gorgeous park. Renting a bike is a great way to see as much as you can of the valley at your own pace in the 3-4 hours of free time you are given inside. Bus is comfortable but it is a long journey. About 4 hours one way. There is no bathroom on the bus but we did make a stop for a half hour halfway to grab food and bathrooms. No charging outlets on the bus so be sure your device is fully charged or bring a spare battery. Totally would recommend this tour if Yosemite is on your bucket list and if you are fine with the expectation that it will be a very long day (pickup around 6am and being dropped off about 9pm).

Visit to Yosemite Valley with the possibility of a walk of about 1 hour and 15 minutes on foot and photo stops at the main viewpoints. Then a second walk to see 1 sequoia; I prefer seeing them at Muir Woods. Our driver/guide was wonderful. He gave us a lot of very interesting information and his driving was "safe and efficient". The trip is long but the shuttle is quite comfortable. The drop-off on the return is a bit long after such a day.

This tour was lots of fun. What a great experience to bike over the bridge! Marcus was a great guide—patient, informative, fun. He fixed my son's flat tire on the spot no problem. Dress warmly as it gets windy and chilly even in July. Def opt for the E-bikes—it made the ride fun and very easy. It would've been a slog with regular bikes. In addition to the bridge, Marcus took us by the Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio, Crissy Field, etc., and gave us some great history of the area. Don't pay extra to leave the bikes on the Sausalito side. It's super easy to bring them back on the ferry and you can keep the bikes until 8pm so can do whatever you like with the bikes the rest of the day. We explored Sausalito, had lunch, brought the bikes back on the ferry, then rode them to Alcatraz Landing and locked them up there while doing the Alcatraz tour, then returned them afterwards. Marcus got incredible pics for us at the bridge too! Highly recommend this experience.

Wow! What a great way to experience the Mission District. Mark was an amazing guide, full of information and recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed this itinerary, the history and of course the food. Don’t hesitate to book this if you are looking for a great overview of history, culture and delicious food tastings!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.
