Uncover Discover 17+

Enjoy our new fun and witty, personal walking tours along sections of San Francisco’s famous, historic 49 MILE SCENIC DRIVE.

Each tour explores a top visitor area starting with the most popular section of the City: Chinatown, Nob Hill, North Beach.

These tours are BASED ON THE AWARD WINNING GUIDEBOOK: Walking San Francisco’s 49 Mile Scenic Drive.

EXPERT GUIDES:
Developed in collaboration with the guidebook’s authors, who are the first people known to have walked the entire 49 Mile Scenic Route—not in one day—in 17 bite-sized neighborhood chunks, one walk at a time. The SF Chronicle called them the foremost authorities on it!

FROM THE AUTHORS:
“Unlike other guides, we have personally visited every site and led hundreds of people along the route. With three years of feedback, we have worked to make these walks an entertaining and informative adventure for visitors and locals.”

FUN, USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES:
Super friendly - and short - snippets of info cover dozens of points-of-interest, stories, and little-known history factoids. Plus fun quizzes!

And if you’ve ever had the frustration of a gps guide “dot on the map” that doesn’t show you which way you’re facing, we’ve solved that! Our clear, arrow, seagull indicator tells you where you’re facing.

Best of all, turn-by-turn notifications, a zoomable map, and a recenter button mean you cannot get lost. (We even help you find the nearest bathroom!)

Enjoy San Francisco to the fullest. Great for locals and visitors.
