San Francisco in One Day: Small Group Cable Car and Walking Tour
Description
I’m excited to show you why this walking tour is unlike any other in San Francisco! We’ll trace the city’s history from its wild Gold Rush days in Jackson Square to the wealth and elegance of Nob Hill’s railroad barons, and we'll ride an iconic cable car along the way. We'll go beyond the normal touristy sites and see the back streets and hidden alleyways that even San Franciscans don't know about! This is a fun, immersive adventure with plenty of interesting stories, local insights, and a chance to see the real San Francisco. When we finish the tour at the Ferry Building, you’ll have seen all the best the city has to offer and you'll feel like a local.

Shows some hidden gems of San Francisco. We recommend taking the tour with Britt, he knows a lot!
Britt was great. He really knew his stuff and we truly enjoyed the details and the info provided. He had very knowledgeable about the city and answered all of our questions. He was very enthusiastic Which made the tour even better. He enjoyed our time with him.
Excellent tour. Walking was the best way to see all the small and intimate places you would otherwise miss. Britt was extraordinarily personable and knowledgeable. Great tour!
Our family had an amazing time on this walking tour! The pace was comfortable, and Britt brought San Francisco's history to life with fascinating stories and local knowledge you won't find in a guidebook (and we looked)! One of the highlights was a hidden viewpoint overlooking the city that we never would have discovered on our own. It offered an incredible perspective and some fantastic photos. We also loved visiting Grace Cathedral. Britt was right that it’s the most beautiful church in the city. The cable car ride was a fun bonus, and the whole experience felt personal, with great local knowledge. Highly recommended!
Britt's tour is authentic, excellent, and filled with interesting stories and facts about the city. I really liked that he is also a great conversationalist, which helps the conversation flow more easily.
Fantastic experience and super great guides. Highly recommend folks to take this tour to have a fun and relaxing experience!
My family came into town to visit and I had to bring them onto the tour for the city. Great experience in CT.
This is a great way to see the different areas and neighborhoods if you are short on time, and you get to hop on a trolley! It was also a really good way to learn the history of the city. Britt was very friendly and he knows the history. Unfortunately due to the earthquake and fires in the early 1900’s most of the original city is gone. Britt had nice illustrations to bring it to life for us.
Our guide was warm, charismatic, knowledgeable, and friendly. They gave us such a wealth of information about the city in a fun, engaging, and easy-to-digest way. I'm really glad we booked this. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Whether a first-time visitor or an experienced San Francisco resident, you will learn a lot!
