SAN FRANCISCO ARCHITECTURE WALKING TOUR
(415) 264-8824


I believe that San Francisco's uniqueness exists in its buildings: some breathtaking and some inspiring, others that seem intended to inspire laughter, and a great many that could have been imagined nowhere else.

On this tour you will see some of the great buildings of San Francisco and learn how local history reveals itself in a collection of some remarkable structures, streets and public squares.


SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR:


  • Introduction to some of San Francisco's most unique downtown buildings 
  • See the single most important building in San Francisco - the world's first "glass curtain" building
  • Discover hard-to-find rooftop gardens
  • See The "narrowest" building in San Francisco - only 20 feet wide and 80 feet deep!
  • Learn about famous architects that influenced the building of San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire including Daniel Burnham - the master builder of the Chicago skyscrapers!
  • Discover unique open spaces and historical landmarks in the Financial District
  • Surprising information and stories about San Francisco you'll never learn from a guidebook

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in the world, yet there are sights and pleasures beyond the well-know landmarks that can be overlooked. The purpose of this tour is to acquaint you with the city that you would never find on your own or on a tour bus.

When you walk a city, you get it all--adventure, scenery, local color, good exercise and fun.

Come with me to discover the excitement, history, beauty, and charm of My Favorite City. -- Rick
