“Filip was AMAZING!!! This isn’t a basic sight seeing tour of typical SF landmarks, rather this tour dug deeper into the history of the city, global connections and how SF is still shaped by the spirit and values of those who embarked upon its shores nearly 200 years ago. The time passes so fast because we walk a little bit then pause to stop and engage. You get to explore avenues around the city that even locals might miss. Definitely bring water, dress in layers and wear good walking shoes. Autumn was the best time of year to come on this tour because the weather was mild and sunny. Plenty…”
