Great mix of tasty food, food history, & picturesque views
We had an excellent food tour with Dale who was very knowledgeable, funny, and a great guide! The tour itself was a great mix of tasty food, food history, picturesque views, and general San Francisco history as well. We've done several food tours in the past this was one of the best in terms of spacing the food stops out enough that you had enough time to enjoy what you were eating while also having sufficient time between stops to digest each tasty morsel. This tour is a great way to get an intro to San Francisco and its food scene. Highly recommend!

Great way to see lots of exhibits and check out the roof!
Visited with my family because we wanted to get out of the rain. Compared to the museums I have been to, it was reasonably priced (we are out of Boston). We loved the walk up to see the various levels of the rainforest and the butterflies at the top! We also loved seeing all of the aquarium exhibits- much more than what I read in the description.

Just looking outside is not enough. Going through the house is enlightening and impressive. I’ve been here so many times times and it was my first to see the inside. I recommend it to everyone. It will bring you back to the glory days of those days. George is full of enthusiasm

Haight-Ashbury: Architecture & Murals Tour
CJ_O, Aug 2026
Stories of Haight Ashbury
We had a fantastic three-hour architectural and mural tour of San Francisco with our guide, Jamie. The tour was originally meant to be two and a half hours, but Jamie generously went well beyond the allotted time, and we were completely engaged throughout.What made the tour especially interesting was how Jamie connected the architecture and murals to the history of San Francisco itself. We heard stories stretching from the Gold and Silver Rush era of the late 1800s, through the city’s changing neighbourhoods, all the way to the Summer of Love in the 1960s.The Haight-Ashbury portion was a particular highlight. Jamie brought the neighbourhood’s counterculture history to life with stories about the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and the hippie movement, pointing out the actual houses, venues and places where they lived, performed and gathered. It made walking through the area feel completely different once you understood what had happened there.Jamie was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and incredibly generous with his time. A fascinating way to experience San Francisco beyond the usual tourist sights, and one we would definitely recommend.
