    This was not so much about San Francisco as it was about global warming and and rising waters! My friends who downloaded the talk had their audio cut out and fade out mid sentence

    This tour is horrible!!! Do not waste your time with it. There was little to no history or interesting information in the tour and SF has a wealth of history and fun facts. The talk focused on global warming and ocean rising in coming decades. The individual who spoke from his kayak was of no interest at all! I have kayaked this area and I could have shared more information than he did! The tour was so pathetic and annoying that we turned it off and enjoyed a walk in our own. Today was beautiful in SF and we enjoyed the city in spite of this disappointing tour.

    I loved the Sand Castles tour! I learned so much about the present and the history of this area. I loved how the piece was put together -- the interesting people who spoke, the clear directions on where to walk, the warmth, humor, engagement, music, and sounds that all made me feel like I was on a live tour. I understand more now about how sea level change affects this area of San Francisco that is so special.

    Claire is a master story weaver, bringing together an engaging mix of San Francisco waterfront history, modern day stories and insights. The tales of exploration, explanations of the science, and ordinary citizen reactions to it all open up new ways to experience the sights and sounds of the bay while revealing the way climate change is affecting the landscape. It is humorous at times, eye-opening at others, and inspiring throughout
