Get ready to climb lots of steps and go off the beaten path on this challenging 5-mile walking tour of San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill and North Beach neighborhoods. Ascend the Filbert Steps for a close-up view of lovely Coit Tower. Walk up the world-famous crooked section of Lombard Street and discover hidden gems like a tiny park with an amazing view of Alcatraz and the church where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had their wedding photos taken.

Alex was very easy to work with and helpful in accommodating our large group for a corporate event. The tour itself was awesome! Great views of the city and fun history along the way. Highly recommend booking a tour with her team!

We had a Private Tour which was a customised version of the "Tales of the City" hike including up to Coit Tower / Lombard Street.
Alex was engaging, knowledgeable, and kept the tour at an appropriate pace for our group. T
This was definitely one of our highlights of our San Francisco trip, and we could have walked with Alex all day if only our itinerary allowed!
Hugely recommend, you won't be disappointed!

My partner and I recently moved to the area and this hike was a fantastic way to get to know the city a bit! We would have never found these hidden trails on our own that go through such beautiful gardens and parks that Alex and Kevin (tour guides) showed us! Learning also a bit about the history of certain memorials along the way such as Coit tower and also bits of popular culture was a real treat. Worth every penny!

Loved going on the tour with Greer! I'm a local, but have done two of these hikes now because they are such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The walking tours provide a beautiful slice of SF, from the common tourist attractions to the sites that most locals don't even know about - with lots of fun facts and trivia knowledge.

Really enjoyed seeing and hearing about hidden treasures of the city on this tour. The guide Greer was well informed, knowledgable, passionate and helpful
I wouldn't consider myself to be fit, I found some of the steep hills difficult but I enjoyed the tour all the same; no pain, no gain.

Greer was outstanding! The tour was very informative and brought us to several outstanding scenic view points. The walk is definitely strenuous as stated in the write-up. Many hills and flights of stairs, but definitely worth the effort! Greer adjusted the pace to the group's comfort level.

This tour was fantastic! We visited some popular city attractions e.g., Coit Tower and Lombard Street, but many other lesser known neighborhood pocket parks with outstanding views of the city and bay. With all the hills in the city, it's much more than a walking tour -- certainly an exhilarating urban hike! Our guide -- Greer -- was personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this hike!

What a wonderful way to see San Francisco, it's a strenuous walk but Alex made sure there were plenty of breaks to take photos and catch our breath. The size of the group made it easy to accommodate everyone's tastes and interests. I would certainly do more walks around the city.

I recently moved to San Francisco and signed up for an Urban Hike to become better acquainted with my new hometown! On this hilly walk, I explored some of the city’s famous spots (like Coit Tower and Lombard Street), as well discover hidden gems (such as Jack Early Park and Macondrary Lane). Our tour guide, Alex, was really friendly and shared some engaging stories about the locations we visited. The hike isn’t too strenuous, you’ll definitely get a good calf workout. I’d suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a bottle of water. Whether you’re a local or here on vacation, I highly recommend this tour!

This is one of the best things I've ever done in San Francisco. I thought I knew this part of town, but I was wrong. Alex took us to places we never would have found on our own, spicing it up with a little history and some great exercise. She is so full of fun and energy - the afternoon just flew by!
