The Icons of SF tour starts at Alamo Square, where we'll introduce you to the Painted Ladies, beautiful Victorian houses perfectly framed against the San Francisco skyline. After that we walk through the fun Fillmore District before catching a bus to Russian Hill and the next icon, Lombard Street (passing the house used in the movie Mrs Doubtfire). On our tour you'll walk down the 'crookedest street in the world' – the best way of avoiding traffic AND getting the best photos. From there we stroll into North Beach, one of SF's most historic, picturesque and fascinating neighborhoods. We can even stop for refreshments in one of the great cafes or bars there. From there it's just a short walk to the final icon. SF's Chinatown is the oldest in the U.S., and its design has been copied by other Chinatowns all over the world. It's where the city started and is the perfect place to end your tour, because it has some of the best restaurants in the city.

Thinking about gifting the San Francisco Icons Tour - any thoughts?

I'm considering this walking tour for my friend’s birthday! She loves history and photography, and I think the Painted Ladies and Lombard Street would be perfect for her. Has anyone done this tour? What was your experience like? Also, how much walking is involved? I'm not sure if it's too much for someone who isn't super fit.

Got to share my experience on the San Francisco Icons Tour!

I just finished the Icons of SF tour and wow, it was better than I expected! Starting at Alamo Square was iconic, and the guide was super knowledgeable. Walking down Lombard Street was a highlight for sure! We even stopped for coffee in North Beach which was a nice break. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone visiting! Just make sure they're okay with a bit of exercise.
