Original San Francisco - Free walking tour
Hi friends! My name is Britt, and I'm a native of the San Francisco area. I have lived here for nearly 30 years because it is the greatest city in the world! When I'm not working, I love exploring different parts of San Francisco and learning about all the amazing places in this city. And after all this time, I still find new things I have never seen before. Taking my tour will allow me to share the best of San Francisco. The most interesting history, the most amazing people, the most beautiful sights and buildings, and the most delicious food and drinks. So come on out and you'll see why this is such a wonderful place!

Tour description
Welcome to San Francisco!
Sign up with us to take a trip through San Francisco to get a great introduction to this wonderful city!
We’ll visit all the main highlights, from the earliest history of the 1700s to the Wild West of the 1800s, the growth (and destruction) of the city in the 1900s, to the skyscrapers of today. Walking through Chinatown, North Beach/Little Italy, and the Financial District, we will show you the best of the city!
We start at the bustling Union Square, near the corner of Geary Street & Powell Street in the heart of the city. We'll wander through the streets and hidden alleyways of downtown history, and you'll hear all the fascinating tales along the way until we finish at the modern Transamerica Pyramid, at the intersection of Washington Street & Sansome Street.
Don't miss this tour for a memorable experience!
