A small-group stroll through San Francisco’s hidden mosaic stairways and gardens with Greg McQuaid, ending back where you start.
“Great experience. The mosaic steps are beautiful. The guide is very knowledgeable about the area and how the stairs came to be.”
Hike from the Castro to Twin Peaks on resident paths, slide at Seward Street, see Sutro Tower and scenic hills, then end back in the Castro.
“This trip was very good and very physical and I had been walking quite a bit. I'm sorry I forgot to tip my guide in my haste to get a cab at the end of my trip. I called Alex and told her I could tip on my credit card but got no response. Anyway she was great and I liked the tour a lot.”
A 2-hour walk of San Francisco’s hidden mosaic stairways, gardens, and 360° views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Park, and downtown for $37.
“Greg is an amazing guide. Knowledgeable. Enthusiastic. Adaptable. My husband and I felt the tour was tailor made for us. We live in Bay Area and learned loads of new things. We highly recommend you take any tour Greg offers”
Join a 2-hour Presidio walk with JB, moving through 240+ years of San Francisco history and National Cemetery views of the bay and Golden Gate.
“JB knows a lot about the Presidio Trust since she worked for them. It’s a beautiful area with lots of history. Make sure to see the grave of the union spy in the cemetary.”
A 3-hour San Francisco urban hike climbing Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower, tackling Lombard Street, and exploring North Beach alleyways.
“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.”
Iconic SF urban hiking tour from Palace of Fine Arts to Presidio viewpoints, Yoda fountain, Tunnel Tops, and the national cemetery.
“If you're looking for a tour that visits unique spots in the city with stunning views this is the tour for you. From Palace of Fine Arts to the National Cemetery to Richmond district, every stop had a sprinkling of history and views of the city. Just be prepared for fair amount of hills.”
Open-air drive of Lombard Street, Filbert and Coit Tower, plus Little Italy and Chinatown, in 45 minutes for $29.
“Very nice tour, excellent service, and lots of information.”
