We have been to SF many times, but never gotten to know the details of the neighborhoods. We found Jay's flier at our hotel and called him to arrange the walk - and we were glad that we did. Jay is a very knowledgeable and gracious guide. He took plenty of time to explain what we were going to do,... More

For both repeat visitors and first-timers to SF, this is an excellent way to see and learn. (And I'm a tour guide, so I know a great guide when I'm with one.) For days afterwards, I was sharing with my convention-bound husband the information I'd learned from Jay's tour about city history, architecture, restoration, landscape, etc. Recommended for both those...

Jay's been giving this tour for 15 years now and his knowledge of the history of SF and the architecture of Victorians is amazing.

I especially appreciate... More

I went on this tour a couple days ago and was really surprised with all the interesting facts Jay gave us. Jay is an engaging guide that could answer any question thrown his way, he's watched the renewal of San Francisco first hand. It's well worth spending a couple of hours with Jay, there aren't any overwhelming hills to climb... More

We had a great time and it was the highlight of our week in San Francisco!!! I would recommend this... More

It is thoughtfully designed to avoid the strenuous hills of the city, while covering buildings from Japantown to Pacific Heights. Our guide, Jay, is passionate about the... More

Taking a couple of hours to walk around one of the prettiest neighborhoods in San Francisco, while being treated to fascinating facts about Victorian architecture - well, it just doesn't get much better! Our tour guide, Marilyn, was so thoughtful about giving us just the right amount of information, while keeping it light and moving. No big hills on this... More

I took this tour with my mother--we both really enjoyed the views and the stories that Marilyn used to give the histories of several of the homes. The tour involved a short bus ride and walk that only had 2 downhill and 2 slight uphill portions, which is great for San Francisco! The tour included learning about the history of... More
