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

I'm Greg, also host of the top-rated Hidden Stairways of San Francisco experience. I'm a world traveler and former music radio host who grew up in Ireland. I fell in love with this city and its music scene the moment I arrived more than 30 years ago. My work in radio brought me in contact with San Francisco rock legends like Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir.

The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood was the center of the counter-culture movement and the Summer of Love. I'll bring its bohemian history to life and even share some dark secrets from its distant past. I'll bring you to the homes of the musicians that lived here and you'll marvel at the colorful murals and beautiful Victorian houses along the way. Oh, I'll also introduce you to the world's greatest record store!
