North Beach Walking Tour

Amanda was great! Very friendly, very knowledgeable, she did a phenomenal job!

Jamie was very knowledgeable and well spoken, making it a very enjoyable experience. The experience itself was very good, taking us to some well known sights and sights that we would not have necessarily gone to ourselves but thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend.

My first trip to San Francisco and I was not disappointed. This walking tour is simple yet filled with great information about the city and its history. Our guide was simply excellent despite our group being sort of like herding cats. Her name escapes me now but she was able to finish the tour on time. I plan on returning again and may take one of their other tours. Afterwards we took the ferry to Alcatraz which was mind blowing. We did the day tour and I suspect the night tour would be a little spooky. Again, there is a great deal of history here and I highly recommend it.

I did the North Beach tour through the Go City pass. Meeting point was at the Volunteer Fireman's memorial which is a great location at a park with a public bathroom and playground near by. Our tour guide was Kenan, and I really enjoyed the information he had to share about San Francisco, so I could appreciate the history more and learn about some iconic food places. I was really glad that I took the tour even though I had just walked around North Beach and already been to Pier 39. After the rest of the group left to go to Alcatraz (option not offered through the Go City pass), Kenan went above and beyond to explain the Waymo driverless taxi app interface as I asked, since my husband and I had tried it twice and missed it twice since we couldn't figure out where to meet the taxi.

Jamie was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed the tour.

Cancelled - but we were notified while waiting from other participants only. Our contact regarding the cancellation didn't happen until about 1/2 hour after the scheduled start. With a very limited amount of time to spend on this vacation - being told earlier would have been appreciated. We could have enjoyed our breakfast instead of running off to nothing, etc.

Jamie did an exceptional job showing us the best of San Francisco. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about the city. Very informative and lots of interesting inside stories about the SF culture.

Jamie was awesome. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Gave us great advice on how to get around town, places to eat, things to do, what to avoid and what you must see. Clearly loves what he does.

Sharlene was the best! She was very knowledgeable & personal. My two grandsons were impressed with the tour & Sharlene kept them engaged.

Dana was an amazing guide. We got to learn many things about San Francisco. She was very insightful and accommodating.

A really interesting walking talk that shared lots of information about the Fisherman’s Wharf We came away knowing much more about the history of San Francisco including; why the Golden Gate Bridge got its name, the first settlers in the area, the origins of the fishing industry, Alcatraz, about numerous tourist spots and about the sea lions. The tour took 1 1/2 hours and had no hills! Would recommend to anyone who wants to know more about the area.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't do the full tour, but Maggie tried to adjust the tour schedule to some indoor locations and gave me some great recommendations for the rest of the trip. An excellent guide and very friendly! I hope I can take the tour again but in a better weather!

Kenan was an amazing tour guide. He's very knowledgeable, very articulate, entertaining and humorous without being insulting. The tour was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Vicky was our tour guide for the morning and she was excellent. What a lovely and friendly person! A pleasure to meet her. Vicky made the tour informative, fun and relaxed.

If you’re visiting Fisherman’s Wharf then you need to take this tour. Our guide Jamie was extremely knowledgeable and told us so many interesting historical facts that we didn’t know.

We loved our tour with John! He kept my niece and nephews (all younger than 14) engaged with fun anecdotes the whole time. We were hesitant about a waking tour but the time flew by. I highly recommend!

John was the perfect guide for this walking tour of the Fisherman's Wharf area. He is very knowledgeable, and shares some fascinating history as well as anecdotes that bring everything more to life. While on this tour, after hearing about and seeing various places, you can then revisit at your own pace after the tour is over and explore as long as you want. John also mentioned and recommended various restaurants in the area: the best Italian, the best Seafood, and everything in between. His outgoing, engaging, enthusiastic and helpful personality made this a great tour and I would recommend this walking tour while visiting San Francisco, with John as your guide!

Great Experience! Learned so much history and information about the area that I never knew about. Definitely an experience to remember
