Although we lived in San Francisco for 3 years a while ago, we throughly enjoyed visiting these sites and learned a lot of new interesting facts about the city. Greg is a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who was very accommodating. We highly recommend adding this tour with Greg to your San Francisco repertoire!

The tour was a great way to learn about the history of the city while also enjoying the beautiful mosaic steps and views of the city. Greg is incredibly knowledgeable and had us all engaged - from the teens to the parents.

My kids loved it, they still talk about ut to this day. My daughter remembers all the facts our tour guy said and shares it with people when we come into town.

The trip was amazing. We were notified before the trip of the expectations. More details were given at the meeting up on what to expect. Greg was very knowledgeable of the history and the area. The education of succulents was an extra bonus. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Greg knows his neighborhood. He gave us local history in a fun way. Entertaining, helpful with recommendations, and kind. Showed us the beauty of San Francisco. Mosaic stairs wonderful. Final view of the tour was an unmatched surprise.

This is one of the best tours I've been on! I was planning to visit the stairs on my own but I'm so glad I went with Greg. He made the walk through the residential streets interesting and kept us entertained with stories and random facts about the area. I also learnt so much about the stairs, the stories behind them, and how they were made. The pace is nice and leisurely, so suitable for most fitness levels. Greg takes photos of everything as you go (including some great photos of guests on the stairs) and sends them to you afterwards which is very handy. Highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it!
