Overview
San Francisco is undoubtedly a hilly place, and this challenging 5-mile walking tour doesn’t shy away from the steepness. Instead, it takes you off the beaten path and onto some of the city’s stairways for an incredible exploration of several neighborhoods and downtown attractions. While meandering through SF’s Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill and North Beach neighborhoods, you’ll come upon some hidden gems, jaw-dropping views, and world-famous sites. Climb to Coit Tower via the Filbert Street Steps; ascend Lombard Street, often referred to as the crookedest street in the world; and discover a tiny park overlooking St Peter and Paul Church, where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio took their wedding pics after tying the knot at San Francisco City Hall.

Really enjoyed seeing and hearing about hidden treasures of the city on this tour. The guide Greer was well informed, knowledgable, passionate and helpful
I wouldn't consider myself to be fit, I found some of the steep hills difficult but I enjoyed the tour all the same; no pain, no gain.

Greer was outstanding! The tour was very informative and brought us to several outstanding scenic view points. The walk is definitely strenuous as stated in the write-up. Many hills and flights of stairs, but definitely worth the effort! Greer adjusted the pace to the group's comfort level.

This tour was fantastic! We visited some popular city attractions e.g., Coit Tower and Lombard Street, but many other lesser known neighborhood pocket parks with outstanding views of the city and bay. With all the hills in the city, it's much more than a walking tour -- certainly an exhilarating urban hike! Our guide -- Greer -- was personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this hike!

What a wonderful way to see San Francisco, it's a strenuous walk but Alex made sure there were plenty of breaks to take photos and catch our breath. The size of the group made it easy to accommodate everyone's tastes and interests. I would certainly do more walks around the city.

I recently moved to San Francisco and signed up for an Urban Hike to become better acquainted with my new hometown! On this hilly walk, I explored some of the city’s famous spots (like Coit Tower and Lombard Street), as well discover hidden gems (such as Jack Early Park and Macondrary Lane). Our tour guide, Alex, was really friendly and shared some engaging stories about the locations we visited. The hike isn’t too strenuous, you’ll definitely get a good calf workout. I’d suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a bottle of water. Whether you’re a local or here on vacation, I highly recommend this tour!

This is one of the best things I've ever done in San Francisco. I thought I knew this part of town, but I was wrong. Alex took us to places we never would have found on our own, spicing it up with a little history and some great exercise. She is so full of fun and energy - the afternoon just flew by!
