The village of Glen Park is nestled among the slopes of the San Miguel Hills near the heart of San Francisco, just south of Twin Peaks. It is the gateway to a hidden gem of 70 acres of open space known as Glen Canyon, of which 60 acres is officially designated as a Significant Natural Resource Area. Much of the history of Glen Park and Glen Canyon is closely intertwined, from early open-range cattle grazing and "milch" ranches, to an explosive direct link with today's prestigious Nobel Prizes, to a radical sales gimmick for selling home lots that included just about everything from lions and bears to trick shooters and high-flying aeronauts! In addition to the area's remarkable cultural history, we'll also discover some of the highlights of the canyon's natural history as we trek through. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

What are people saying about San Francisco

Chinatown Walking Tour: Food, History & Flavor

Bob_H, Jul 2026

Best day in San Fran

This tour was one the three of is were looking so forward to on our Annual Sisters’ Trip. Our guide, Brian, made this a great day! From the meet up right on time, to the getting to quickly know all our group’s names, Brian was informative, witty and fun. The food was really wonderful, and plentiful, leaving us all stuffed and happy. Brian is a font of information and knows some great stories, the ones of SF’s tough living, Wild West gold mining days of bars, tongs and brothels, to its development into the bustling tourist city of today. One of the best foodie/history tours we have taken.

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History

Tara_V, Jul 2026

The BEST was to experience San Francisco

Ryan was absolutely the BEST tour operator! He was incredibly knowledgeable, energetic, and had a great sense of humor that made the entire experience so much fun. We explored Chinatown and North Beach (Little Italy), tasting delicious food and beer along the way while learning so much about the history and culture of San Francisco. Ryan brought the city to life with his stories and knowledge, and you could tell he truly loves what he does. The food was delicious, the history was fascinating, and the tour was a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a fun, memorable, and informative San Francisco experience!

Alcatraz with Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour

Nadine_A, Jul 2026

We got to see many great places all in one day!

We really enjoyed this tour, the Muir Woods is majestic! Absolutely a must see, just walking there removed all the stress in the world, and we felt so much connected with nature. Sausalito is nothing special.. just a free time between Muir Woods and Alcatraz. Alcatraz is a place you visit out of curiosity, don’t expect to see much. The smell there is foul and the place is filled with pelican droppings, but we enjoyed it and didn’t regret it, to sum it all, it was a nice day and was very enjoyable.

San Francisco Golden Gate To Sausalito Bike Tour

Meghan_W, Jul 2026

Super experience & well worth it!

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.

North Beach & Little Italy Walking Tour: Food, History & Flavor

Kavita_J, Jul 2026

Brian was great! Highly recommend this tour!

Brian was great! He is a true SF native with deep ties to the community and that really showed on this tour. Despite having lived in SF myself for 6 years, I learnt a lot of cool new things about North Beach and even found some great food spots on the tour that we will definitely be revisiting. Whether you’re just visiting or a local, I would highly recommend this tour! You won’t be disappointed!

San Francisco Ghost Tours: Gold and Ghouls Tour

Megan_K, Jul 2026

Amazing tour - despite uphill hike lol.

We had a great time. Eric, our tour guide, was awesome. He was funny, engaging, and professional. The tour was really fascinating and the stories were spooky. The only warning I’ll give to anyone interested is, the 1.5 mile walk seems short, but when you’re going up Nob Hill on foot - it’s a workout! Otherwise, a fantastic tour. I would book again!

San Francisco Full-Day Tour by Cable Car & Foot

Mileane_S, Jul 2026

Awesome

I really enjoyed my San Francisco day tour. It was a great way to see so much of the city in a short amount of time, especially as someone visiting and trying to understand the different neighborhoods, history, and culture. The tour was informative, interesting, and gave me a better appreciation for how colorful and unique San Francisco is. I especially enjoyed learning about the Castro, the city’s LGBTQ+ history and the stories connected to different landmarks. The guide shared a lot of details that I probably would not have learned just walking around by myself. It made the city feel more alive and meaningful.

Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour from San Francisco w Pickup

Nicole_B, Jul 2026

Yosemite experience for all

This tour was amazing, our driver, Alberto, was very accommodating and kept us on schedule. We were able to view waterfalls, giant sequoias, hike, eat, and see scenic views. Alberto was also informative on different landmarks and history as well as agriculture we passed on the way. I went with my grandmother and he also accommodated her not being able to walk long distance to see the sequoias while I hiked. We had a great time!

Blue Painted Lady House Tour - Interior Guided Tour by Owner

Kristin_G, Apr 2026

Our favorite experience on our San Francisco trip!

The owner is FABULOUS! He has a great way of sharing history and is excellent at connecting with his guests and telling the best stories. I love the details of the house and how well preserved the home is. My 14 year old daughter also loved the experience. George left a lasting impression on her (on both of us, but at 14, she was really impacted). She observed how kind and generous he is and what an amazing life he has that is enriched by a variety of people in all areas of life. It is inspirational to see how kindness really does come back in the most pleasant and unexpected ways. Thank you, George, for your incredible hospitality. My only regret is that I did not bring my whole family. We will begin planning our next SF trip and this will be on the top of our list!

San Francisco: Chinatown & Litte Italy Food Tour with 5 Dishes

Shirin_F, Mar 2026

Book Now !! Best Tour of China Town & Little Italy!

What a SPECTACULAR Experience. Our Guide, DARA, was amazing. She is a local San Francisco girl & was a wealth of knowledge. It’s a small group tour so our family of 5 got a private tour. We started at the Cable Car Museum & she explained the history & engineering of the street cars. Then we walked to China Town & had the yummiest yogurt drinks, dim sum & musubi. Our next stop was a bakery for Pineapple buns, which are like sweet rolls. Then we walked over to North Beach (Little Italy) & had the most authentic & freshest focaccia pizza & ended at a bakery run by an Italian family for Gelato. Dara was absolutely amazing.. 10 stars & 10 thumbs up!!! She is a wealth of knowledge & so personable & friendly. Even our teenage daughter loved the tour! There is a lot of walking so wear comfy sneakers & travel light… purses & backpacks get really heavy after you have been walking a while. There is a lot to eat & drink so come hungry! We would highly recommend this tour & only because Dara is such an incredible guide! Don’t think about it.. book now !!
