Grace Cathedral Tours

Philip was amazing. He was full of information, made recommendations on where to eat and visit while in San Francisco. The tour was great and the places we visited were amazing. Would definitely do this again.

Kerwin was entertaining and made our trip more fun

I could have paid $10 less with my Booking.com status...but we were right there and he came down to $108 so for convenience sake, we bought our tickets directly from the operator.

Brett was a friendly & knowledgeable guide. I am local & wasn't expecting to learn anything new about the city but I was wrong - saw the city from a different perspective & fell in love with SF all over again! I want to name a few but dont want them to be spoilers for others. Brett has some cool stories & trivia to share on the tour. Had some great conversations along the way & I also noticed he engaged everyone on the tour similarly. Totally worth it - dont miss it!

Wow. Very big and beautiful church. Wonderful stained glass. Impressive place to visit.

SF is home and Grace Cathedral is my neighborhood. While out for a walk I dropped in to see this magnificent building - an icon. I joined a tour and saw 15th century artifacts, learned about the Cathedral and the people who were instrumental in building it and rebuilding it ( because, of course, in this section of the city there is always an earthquake story) and viewed this gorgeous building. Fabulous stained and faceted glass windows. If you toured Notre Dame, why haven't you visited Grace?

The description on the opening page is right on for Grace Cathedral. The few paragraphs to describe it aren't enough. A saying on old buildings goes, "Old buildings have great stories to be told." Grace Cathedral is working on volumes of stories to be told. The Cathedral stands out for many reasons. It is the 3rd largest Episcopalian Cathedral in the country. There is an app to download on your phone and a self guided tour you can follow for information you see on the tour. It is very worth the money and time to stroll through the cathedral and learn about its many intricacies. The cathedral seemed so immense when I walked in. It felt bigger on the inside than it does from the outside. As you walk to the center nave, you will see the Aids Chapel to the right and the Labyrinth in front of you. The Aids Chapel has an alter piece created by Keith Haring, a NY pop artist who died from Aids. It is called, "The Life of Christ". Looking down to the altar you will see arches to the right and left and on the ceiling. Behind the arches on the sides are murals and beautiful stained glass windows all around the church. The Stained Glass windows by noted artists depict over 1100 figures ranging from Adam and Eve to Albert Einstein. The murals display stories of religious events and San Francisco history. As you approach the altar the two large stain glass windows on the right and the left are dedications to the new and old testament. On the right and left of the altar are Chapel of Grace and the Chapel of the Nativity. So much to see and learn about. I wasn't there at a good time to take the tour. I read the tour takes you up one one of the Bell towers. If anyone has read my other reviews, you will know, I like to include a little history in the review. Before this Cathedral was built there was a wooden cathedral built in the 1850s during the gold rush era. I enjoyed reading that one of the offering was small bags of gold dust. That church was burnt down by Earthquake that wiped out much of the city in 1906. The first coner stone for the Cathedral was laid in 1910. It took until 1964 to complete. A landmark event to celebrate the opening of the Cathedral was a sermon delivered by Dr Martin Luther King. It was the largest gathering at the cathedral until a memorial service on September 11th, 2001 took place.

Went to Grace with a group of friends for a tour and to see the holiday lights on Nob Hill. Our tour was held by Eden and he did such a great job. Hit the highlights and historically important artifacts. What a beautiful cathedral that so represents the diversity and inclusivity of San Francisco. Highlight was the interfaith AIDS chapel. Eden really spoke to its importance to him which really added to our experience. Highly recommend.

Check the bus route out & book your hotel close to a pickup spot. Otherwise you’ll have to pay for Uber shuttling you to & from a pickup spot. Gets expensive ~

We booked a 2 Day Hop on Hop off plus Night tour experience in SFO. Enjoyed the commentary, the Day route gave great insight into the stops we would choose later to hop off at and explore. Professional tour staff. The service operates every 15 minutes so you. never felt the time waiting was annoying. Downloading the App is very helpful for extra bits of info like specific address stops and how far away bus is. We were so impressed that we will do same experience in Chicago and London. The Night tour was crazy cold on the Top open air but super fun.

We always enjoy the Ferry Market on Saturday mornings. Arrive before 10 to avoid line ups for all the delicious food stalls.

Michael Sullivan is awesome!!! He took us on an incredible tour. We saw so many beautiful and unique places we would never have seen on our own. Michael is also a talented photographer and we received many amazing photos and videos. We highly recommend Michael’s tour!!! THANK YOU, MICHAEL❣️

Awesome trip goes to a lot of places and is a fun ride It has earphones and they explain the places where we go to

This is one of the best hop on hop off tours I've done. We've used the big bus company in other cities, and this was fantastic. We were able to see everything San Francisco has to over, including going over the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf and so much more. Our ticket also included a evening tour, which took us over the Oakland Bay Bridge, which is equally stunning in it's own right, and gave us beautiful views of downtown San Francisco. We would highly recommend this tour.

It was a fantastic experience to get to know the history and feel of San Francisco! I love getting to walk around and seeing the area! I highly recommend this tour!

Joshua, Derek and Charles were great very patient and good with elderly people, meaning myself, and my friend.
