Walking Tour of Nob Hill - Cable Cars, Luxury Hotels, French-Gothic Cathedral
1
When Robert Louis Stevenson visited San Francisco in 1879, he declared, "Nob Hill, the Hill of Palaces, must certainly be counted the best part of San Francisco. It is here that millionaires gathered together, vying with each other in display". My Nob Hill tour is a 2-hour walking photo-shoot tour that starts with a Cable Car ride and a visit to a French Gothic Cathedral and ends at the Top of the Mark on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel for photographs and beverages at sunset.
The eclectic history of Nob Hill includes:
* The Gold Rush (not the San Francisco 49r cheerleaders)
* The Silver Bonanza (not including Ben Cartwright, Ben, Hoss or Little Joe)
* The Transcontinental Railroad
* The 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and
* A spectacular French-Gothic design Episcopal Cathedral that took nearly 40 years to build.
The opportunities for photography are endless on Nob Hill!

San Francisco Chinatown, Russian Hill, And North Beach Tour
This four mile loop weaves through the largest Chinatown on earth, climbs from the Cable Car Museum to the peak of Russian Hill, and cruise along the Italian enclave of North Beach to the Mecca of Beatnik culture. Beginning at the Friendship Gate, we’ll travel through the colorful back alleys of the oldest Chinatown in the world, browse its exotic markets, and visit the first Chinese temple in America. At the Powerhouse we'll see what makes the fabled cable cars tick, then ascend Russian Hill, winding through the whimsical, verdant Macondray Lane––one of the City's most beautiful hidden streets and the basis for Barbary Lane in Armistead Maupin's colorful fiction series Tales of the City.
Coast through North Beach and enjoy the traditional trattoria patios, old-school bars, and handmade cuisine that bring the historic Italian charm to life. We’ll check out City Lights Bookstore, Vesuvio Cafe, and other landmarks of the Beat Generation before ending our loop back at the Friendship Gate.
