I took the “Making Waves on the Waterfront” with Spencer recently. I really enjoyed his engagement with the group, and the spots he took us to were both distinct and meaningful. I left having learned about the character and the history of the neighborhoods that we walked through, and how the innovators that lived there and notable events that took place there shaped the city’s and even our nation’s history. The tour was flat as advertised, with a few flights of stairs. I had a good time and will be on the lookout for other interesting tours with SF City Guides and Spencer.

What a wonderful experience I had in the Japanese tea garden today! Christa was absolutely amazing! The passion about the history the spirit to connect to the enire group, the interaction between her and us. Honestly it could be a case study in guide schools. I completely recommend SF city Guides 💯
Susan
Several members of our group had been to the Japanese Tea Garden before, but we had *never* experienced it like this! We learned so much, it was like being somewhere completely new. Marjory was absolutely amazing and we had a fabulous time - cannot recommend City Guides enough!!!

Julie’s tour of Fisherman’s Wharf wasn’t what I expected. She convinced me that, rather than a "tourist trap," this area is at the intersection of many iconic elements that make San Francisco unique. We got a behind-the-scenes look at Aquatic Park and heard colorful stories of some of the unique personalities that helped shape the city. Highly recommend for locals as well as visitors.

We just took our 4th tour with San Francisco City Guides and we have a long way to go until we take all 80 of them. We had Dennis W. telling us fascinating stories about the Russian Hill, while going up and down the stairs and hills. What I appreciate a lot, in addition to wonderful stories and views, is the passion the guides have for showing off the best of San Francisco. Dennis and all previous guides have that spark in the eyes while talking about a place they love and want to share it with the guests. Also, a plus for us, locals, is that all the money we donate goes directly to the nonprofit. Guides do this on a truly volunteer basis and they seem to enjoy sharing the history and some secret corners of the city as much as we enjoy learning about it.
