San Francisco is undoubtedly a hilly place, and this challenging 5-mile walking tour doesn’t shy away from the steepness. Instead, it takes you off the beaten path and onto some of the city’s stairways for an incredible exploration of several neighborhoods and downtown attractions. While meandering through SF’s Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill and North Beach neighborhoods, you’ll come upon some hidden gems, jaw-dropping views, and world-famous sites. Climb to Coit Tower via the Filbert Street Steps; ascend Lombard Street, often referred to as the crookedest street in the world; and discover a tiny park overlooking St Peter and Paul Church, where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio took their wedding pics after tying the knot at San Francisco City Hall.

This tourist scavenger hunt will take you from Fishermans Wharf to Russian Hill and North Beach! In fact, it will take you to all the major sites, museums and lookout points, as well as a few hidden gems.

See the Golden Gate Bridge, the Embarcadero, Union Square, and other San Francisco sights on this evening tour by open-top bus. Starting at Fisherman’s Wharf, cruise through the city to see top attractions in a convenient way with live commentary from an onboard guide.

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.
