Very enjoyable! Our guide Valerie took us to interesting unique places we wouldn’t have found on our own. We especially enjoyed visiting the galleries where Valerie had contacts.

Valerie was our tour guide and she was great! She knew so much history of the city. Walking through the hotels was incredible seeing all the architecture. We also went into a few galleries. We were lucky enough to the the only ones on the tour so she gave us options on where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see.

We loved this tour! Our guide was superb and we were able to see so much of the historic places and viewed stunning artwork, including shoes as well as murals and paintings. Would highly recommend this for an up close and personal tour of the theater district, Nob Hill and Chinatown.

Valerie was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and it’s history. It was great to walk into some of the original hotels and hear the history, see the architecture and especially the cool staircases. If only walls could talk. The China town tour was a little bland. A few taste tests would have provided a better idea where to come back for more. Definitely worth every Penny!! Thanks Valerie for the history.
