Built in 1896, it is located near the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and Sutro Heights Park. The facility burned down in June 1966 and is now in ruins within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.

Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach is a beach on the west coast of San Francisco, bordering the Pacific Ocean. The "Great Highway" runs alongside the beach, and the Cliff House and the site of the former Sutro Baths sit at the northern end. The beach is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Russian Street Steps tour guided by Michael. I was born in San Francisco and have lived here for over 45 years. I live in an adjacent neighborhood to Russian Hill and thought I knew Russian Hill, but through the tour, I discovered and learned the backstory of a couple of public parks, new streets, steps, and houses! You start off with beautiful views of the Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Bay Bridge, Salesforce Tower, and, of course, the beautiful bay. You also get a great workout climbing steps and hills!

robertom216

Tour was delayed for one and half hour The original itinerary when I booked the trip was included cross the Golden Gate Bridge and we didn’t I invited friends and they also booked, it was very embarrassed as they were also expecting to cross the bridge They should refund at least 30% of the cost

Thankfully we had a guide who knew the city well to be able to switch up a viewing point since Golden State Park was closed for the weekend! Twin Peaks was a very nice addition to that tour. If it is foggy in the morning... reschedule!

There was quite a bit of confusion as to meeting/starting place. Several people there said they had the same problem.

Gary_W

This tour was good. I’m not sure why I was disappointed. Maybe I thought there was more to San Francisco than there is. I think that the things I was interested in were rushed and the majority of the tour was pretty mundane.

Glen_C

Never got picked up at Union Square. Was told by customer service would be picked up at that location
