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.

Greg is such a great guy, I thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the way that that the walk was executed, with the history of how the stairs were created. Greg was so informative and I loved how he took photos of us and then airdropped them at the end. My degree was in photography and Greg too great shots. Had great views of the city and learnt some great stuff. Highly recommend this tour thanks Greg you rock
