WELCOME SF CITY GUIDES!

We are so excited to announce our newest client, San Francisco City Guides - a not-for-profit organization sponsored primarily by the San Francisco Public Library that offers over 70+ FREE walking tours all around the city. Their mission is to preserve and perpetuate the history and folklore of San Francisco and to celebrate its rich history of cultural diversity. Whether you are an SF resident looking to learn more about your surrounding neighborhoods, or a visitor seeking the rich history of the city, there is a tour for everyone! Currently, over 275+ tour guides work on a volunteer basis 365 days a year to provide enrichment opportunities year round.

Did you know? For much of the early 20th century, nobody traversed the Bay without going through the Ferry Building. At its peak in the 1930s, it was the second-busiest travel hub in the world, shuttling more than 50,000 people both to and from San Francisco each day.  When the city built its famous bridges, ferry travel dropped dramatically, and the building suffered for decades. In the ‘90s the Ferry Building transformed into a world-class food market focusing on local artisan creations. Today, it remains an iconic landmark of the waterfront (and a popular establishing shot for movies set in San Francisco).
