That’s why we do metro and walking tours – it’s the best way to see and learn about the city, as well as being the most eco-friendly. Anyway, who doesn’t want to see SF using our cable cars, jumping off to explore its neighborhoods with their own guide? We guarantee our San Francisco tours are an experience you’ll never forget.

Aquatic Cove, San Francisco

Fleet Week in SF means frequent ear-splitting screaming jet engines thundering over your apartment, creating constant disruptions if you're trying to work, as you dash to the window to check a fighter plane isn't landing on your roof, which is then followed by sudden mass car-alarm activations. But it is pretty cool though :-)!

San Francisco's Giants' Oracle Park, a beautiful location, right on SF's waterfront. What a place to watch a game!

Fort Mason - on a beautiful day!

Fisherman’s Wharf in SF. It’s very touristy, but still well worth a visit. #SeeTheRealSF #SF #SanFrancisco #FishermansWharf

Authentic Experiences of San Francisco

I love travel. In the past there was nothing I enjoyed more than visiting a city and getting lost wandering its streets. However, during a trip to Europe in 2012, I discovered a guided walking tour and realized that it’s a much better experience. I got a quick history lesson, saw most of the best sights and was able to ask all the vital questions I had (like where to have lunch) from a local expert. It was the highlight of my trip and I began doing walking tours in every city I visited.

Returning home, to Los Angeles, I looked for a walking tour there, but all I found were bus tours of Beverly Hills, which isn’t where the “stars” live nowadays, and Rodeo Drive, where Angelenos like me never go. So, I decided to start a new company, offering visitors totally different tours, that would allow them to properly experience LA and learn its fascinating history. I launched The Real Los Angeles Tours in 2013 and recently we were awarded a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame award, in recognition of the hundreds of five-star reviews we've received.

I spend a lot of time in the Bay Area and one time I did an all-day tour of S.F. Unfortunately that company closed shortly after, but I always remembered how amazing the experience had been and how much I'd learnt, so, in 2020, we launched Real San Francisco Tours, bringing the same type of tours that we offer in LA to SF. Our mission here is to give you a genuine and entertaining experience of the real San Francisco. Join us on a tour and we promise it will be the highlight of your trip.
