San Francisco in One Day

5.0
(5 reviews)

4 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

I’m excited to show you why this walking tour is unlike any other in San Francisco!

We’ll trace the city’s history from its wild Gold Rush days in Jackson Square to the wealth and elegance of Nob Hill’s railroad barons, and we'll ride an iconic cable car along the way.

We'll go beyond the normal touristy sites and see the back streets and hidden alleyways that even San Franciscans don't know about! This is a fun, immersive adventure with plenty of interesting stories, local insights, and a chance to see the real San Francisco.

When we finish the tour at the Ferry Building, you’ll have seen all the best the city has to offer and you'll feel like a local.
