The Places We Will Explore

 photo stops noted by *

Muir Woods*

Muir Woods National Monument is home to some of the oldest and most beautiful trees in the world. Many of our guests consider this stop to be the highlight of their trip.
​

Haight Ashbury*

The origin of the hippie culture and the birth place of the "Summer of Love." From the stunning Painted Ladies to the homes of music's favorite 60's bands, this district started the counter-culture movement across the USA.

The Mission*

Known for its prominent and colorful mural installations, delicious food, and vibrant art and music scene, The Mission embodies the culture of old and new San Francisco.
​

The Castro

One of the first gay neighborhoods in the United States. Colorful bars and restaurants line the streets, with the historic Castro Theater overlooking the area that Harvey Milk once called home.
​

Marin Headlands*

Simply one of the best views on the
​west coast. This iconic shot looks across the Golden Gate Bridge and back towards the iconic San Francisco skyline.

Sausalito*

Located just across the Golden Gate Bridge, this artistic enclave has the setting and beauty of a European mediterranean town. Enjoy your lunch on the San Francisco Bay!

North Beach

Voted as one of the USA's "ten great neighborhoods", North Beach is best known as the home of Little Italy. From delicious restaurants to authentic sidewalk cafes and bakeries, you will feel the charm of San Francisco as soon as you arrive.

Twin Peaks*

Featuring a panoramic view of all of San Francisco, Twin Peaks offers ones of the best perspectives of the downtown skyline, surrounding hills and vistas (weather permitting).

Pacific Heights*

Offering one of the most scenic outlooks in all of Northern California, Pacific Heights is home to Billionaire's Row, featuring the estates of politicians, tech titans and other San Francisco celebrities (includes Mrs. Doubtfire house!)

Tenderloin

Nestled near downtown San Francisco, the Tenderloin neighborhood continues to resist gentrification, all while spearheading the local arts movement. It's a must-see in our modern-day city.

City Hall

This beautiful Beaux-Arts monument epitomizes the high-minded American renaissance of the late 18th and early 19th century. The site of Joe Dimaggio and Marilyn Monroe's marriage in 1954.

Chinatown

Boasting the largest Chinatown in the United States, this 24-block mecca is bustling with energy, amazing food, and unique and colorful shops that give this area its charm.
​

​

Golden Gate Bridge

Declared "one of the 10 wonders of the modern world," the Golden Gate Bridge not only one of the most recognized symbols of San Francisco, but one of the most photographed sites in the world.
​Simply stunning!

Fort Point*

Located just beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point gives you a front row seat to the Bay and is a great photo stop. This former military fortification was used during WWII.

"Brendan, is an SF native and knew so much about the history. I had been to SF about six times before this and still learned so much! He took us to some interesting things that are not on other tours. He also allowed us to customize it some as we were the only party in his group. I would definitely recommend booking with him!"

 - MJ P.

"Rather than use one of the larger companies which have disappointed in the past I did some research and SFE stood out, especially being run by a native. This is a truly off the beaten path experience. Brendan made us feel comfortable with his professionalism and knowledge. Ask him for restaurant recs so you don't have to eat the usual tourist spots."

- F.P.

"The tour was well worth it! Brendan gave us so much info, history and background of his own upbringing in SF. There wasn’t one boring second of this tour and we saw sooooo much in the 6 hours. He also goes to these amazing spots where you can capture the true beauty of this amazing city. Thank you for a truly amazing experience!"
