I am a San Franciscan through and through! My family landed here about 1890 and generations have lived and loved here ever since. As a fourth generation local, I was born and raised in the bay area, spent much of my early years in San Francisco and now am thrilled every day for the last 28 years to wake up every day in this beautiful city!
As a past entertainer, singer, and current culinary instructor, I'm excellent at telling a story in an engaging and colorful way, and being a history buff (with my favorite subject being San Francisco) I'll work hard to make sure you enjoy your time with me.
Walking and exploring murals in the Mission with Mark was awesome. We really enjoyed learning and appreciating art, paying attention to details that we would have missed on our own. Highly recommended tour if you are into art and storytelling. Mark is a chef and also provided some of his personal recommendations for places to eat in the area.

Mark was very informed about the area. I loved hearing stories of his mother who had grown up there. It really gave perspective! And it was so interesting.
You cant go wrong with Mark's tour. So knowlegable. There was no question he couldn't answer. His familiar history with the neighbohood was amazing. When your family lives in a neighborhood for multiple gernations, it becomes a part of you. You could see his love for Mission and its history. Although the tour is not short, the pace is pleasant and without hills. So happy we choose to spend our morning with Mark.
Definitely worth this tour, mural art is part of the SF culture! Very interesting insights throughout the tour and helps to better understand the history of SF. Mark is a great guru & gave us loads of amazing recommendations for restaurants !
