Robert was a great guide full of knowledge about the area and its history. My family (3 of us) really appreciated his insights and enjoyed the tour. Would recommend to anyone visiting Fisherman’s wharf.

Jamie, once again, a wonderful host. Extensive knowledge of the Bay Area and all its history. The Fisherman’s Wharf tour is a must do walk if you want to get an overview of the area and a personal touch of history and interesting facts.

Amazing walking tour, Seth was super knowledgeable about the area and ensured tour lasted on time. Also recommended places to explore and good food.. thanks

Jessica_S

We were only in town for 24 hours and we wanted to see SOMETHING but we had a tight timeline. This tour was perfect - Jamie is a knowledgeable guide and will also take family pictures for you! In an hour and a half we were able to see the beach and trolleys, Golden Gate Bridge, the Ghirardelli factory, sea lions, a fabulous arcade game museum (sounds odd but it was a highlight for us!) walk along Fisherman’s Wharf and pier 39, and gaze at Alcatraz. Jamie recommends good spots for local seafood and takes you through a market where you can even grab some fresh crab that they will pack in ice for you!

Rob is a historian. He told the story of San Francisco's wharf. Our whole group was engaged throughout the tour. As an SF resident, wish I did this sooner.
