Monika gave us a wonderful and very informative 4 hr walking tour that originated at the Ferry Market building, walked through the Embarcadero complex and ended up at the Yerba Buena Gardens by the Moscone Convention Center. Had free cheese and chocolate samples at the Market, stopped at the Wells Fargo Museum and Trans America building, had a free beverage... More

Even though I have been to SF many times, the tour with Lily showed me sites I haven't seen before. Great way to spend the day! The close of the tour was a wonderful sail boat ride on the bay. Simply spectacular way to end the day! We started our day with a walk through the Mission...very impressed with all... More

All Day Tour - Lots of walking but not too hard (our 6 year old survived but only just) We met up with the friendly Monika Trobits and made our way to the Mission District. (We were given an all day transport pass) Monica enriched us with some great history and vibrant mural art, along the way visiting a great... More

We really enjoyed our walking tour of the Presidio with Monika. She had a lot of interesting information about the sites we saw -- the Golden Gate Bridge, the Presidio batteries, and the Cliff House -- and she was very tolerant and patient with the 4 energetic young children we brought along. Finally she treated us to some refreshing drinks... More

Loved our walking tour with Mark Nessle. He took us on a great, informative and calorie burning hike through the Presidio and Point Lobos, even got to glimpse in an open house at the exclusive Seacliff neighborhood! He kept it easygoing and interesting and his enthusiasm for the history of this area was contagious. We will definitely go again, bring... More

We took the "Embarcadero, Ferry Building and Fortunes" tour with Monika and it was wonderful. We learned about the origins of San Francisco, sample cheeses and chocolates in the ferry building and learn about the gold rush and sunken ships. Monika is very well informed about San Francisco and even told us about a good restaurant for dinner (which was... More
