It was a fun tour and I loved learning about the Victorian homes as well as San Francisco. Such interesting facts Jay told us. I really enjoyed hearing what the locals call certain buildings and areas around the city. Jay's energy was great and he was very informative...I was always eager to hear what else he had to say.

A wonderful tour - a terrific way to see San Francisco and hear about the fascinating history and architecture of the beautiful houses. Jay was a great guide and made the experience fun as well as informative. We also enjoyed the afternoon in Pacific Heights at the end of the tour. We will go again next time we are in...

Our guide Marilyn has lived in the immediate area for many years. You could tell be her immense knowledge. 2 1/2 hours for $25 is a good deal. Saw inside of one authentic true Victorian. The local real estate information was especially interesting. We had 15 people in our group May 11, 2012. Group rides the muni together. You pay...

Hi Ross. We are so glad that you enjoyed our tour. You make a great point, although the tour is roughly 2 1/2 hours, this includes transportation time, as well as many different stops to both talk and explore!

We really enjoyed the walking tour with Jay. He was very informative and knowledgable of SF and the homes. He made sure we had water and stopped under shady trees often as it was very hot that day. The tour is well worth you time and money.

At first I was a bit unsure to just show up in Union Square for the tour. I got there about 10 minutes before 11AM and there wasn't anyone there. But sure enough by 11AM about 12 people showed up as well as our guide for the tour, Marilyn. She was great and really seemed to know her stuff. She...

We found this by chance after the San Francisco movie tour people let us down (they don't run the tour if they don't get enough people) but really felt we'd found a gem. The tour starts in Union Square at 11am each day and the cost includes a public bus there and back. We took the bus to Japantown and...
