Overview

See epic views of the iconic sites of San Francisco’s northern neighborhoods in this 5-mile small-group, locally-led urban hike that takes you from city sidewalks to park trails ending at a local favorite brewpub in a lesser-known neighborhood in time for happy hour.

Learn about life in San Francisco while understanding how history shaped the urban landscape we experience today – from the battles over bike lanes to the private enclave off the city grid – shared with humor and realism. Get top tips from your guide on other authentic San Francisco experiences to make your visit unique. She has seen it all and can help you discover the best San Francisco for you.

We’ll cover about 450 feet of elevation gain over gradual hills at a moderate pace with lots of opportunities for photos. Good walking shoes and layers are all you'll need.

Cool San Francisco wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool San Francisco over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
