Tour description

The Original Francisco Historical Tour 😊

Welcome to our San Francisco Historical Tour, a (2.5 hour) walk where we introduce you to our favorite neighbourhoods in the city. 
We will begin in the 1700s, with the first historical indications, traveling in time towards the days of the Wild West of the 1800s. 
The 20th century will take us to know the great influence left by immigrants, among whom it is worth highlighting the fishermen from Italy. And of course, the latest technologies that reign in our city in modern times.


Take part in this tour, and you will experience the best that this wonderful city has to offer.


We will share with you the cultural varieties, gastronomic delights, street art, without forgetting the amazing hills of San Francisco (but don't worry- most of the route is on flat terrain! 😉). Needless to say, we will take you to the best places where your photos will be Instagram-worthy 📸.


Throughout this tour, we will discover unforgettable places that include:

• The historical stories of the Gold Rush that transformed San Francisco.

• A walk through the oldest Chinatown in North America.

• We will delight in the delicious restaurants and varied cafes of Little Italy.

• We will observe the modern contrast of the Financial District and its skyscrapers.

• We will show you the Cable-Car, typical of San Francisco and known worldwide.

• Without forgetting the best restaurants, bars and nightlife, which are part of the animation in San Francisco.


And much more!! 😍
