I'm a native Irishman but a 20+ year resident of San Francisco who adores my adopted city and loves showing it off to locals and tourists alike. A former marathon runner, I know the city's best views but now prefer a more moderate hike on gorgeous stairs! This walk is done at a leisurely pace & suitable for most people.

Tour description

Welcome to San Francisco!

This breathtaking 2 mile (3k) walking tour of San Francisco's beautiful hidden stairways is top rated in the Bay Area and loved by both locals and tourists alike.

See gorgeous mosaic tiled steps and hear the stories behind them, then take in stunning 360° views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park and downtown San Francisco. You'll also discover beautiful neighborhoods and gardens that many locals are not aware of and that tourists rarely see.

Oh, and you might even go home with a succulent!
I'll provide commentary, context and some history along the way.

Sehr gute Tour, um mal eine andere, nicht touristisch geprägte Ecke von SF kennen zu lernen. Zum Schluß gibt es eine fantastische Aussicht. Greg unterhält kurzweilig und mit viel Humor, klare Empfehlung!
