Highly Recommend the Mission and Castro Walking Tour

William_M, Sep 2024

We enjoy tours that help you learn about the history and culture of the areas we visit. Ryan was an amazing wealth of information and very engaging. This tour was good value, and we had an amazing time walking through the Mission and Castro districts. I highly recommend.

Outstanding

Very personalized tour. Great guide. Loved the stories of both the Castro and the mission. We visited some out of the way places—very interesting.

Fantastic tour

Such a great time - so much information delivered by someone who truly adores his city. Ryan is a trove of city lore and history. Obviously loves what he does and where he does it.

Ryan’s insight to the area was Fantastic!

Mark_B, Nov 2023

Fantastic in depth tour that takes you to the real side of the area. The history and culture details Ryan reveals are really interesting. We were privileged to explore with just us 2 and Ryan but a larger group would be equally as good.

WOW. one of the best tours I have taken.

Carol_H, Oct 2023

Excellent tour and we learned so much about the history and culture of the area. Ryan is very detailed, humorous and animated. You will climb many hills and see amazing views, secret stairs, stunning architecture, lovely residential gardens, beautiful murals, and interesting shops. My niece was visiting and she loved it, too. We live locally and plan to take additional tours from Ryan in the future.

Wonderful tour.

The guide was terrific. From describing the plants to description of the homes, to the history of the area, it was phenomenal. I highly recommend this tour.
