Valerie was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and it’s history. It was great to walk into some of the original hotels and hear the history, see the architecture and especially the cool staircases. If only walls could talk. The China town tour was a little bland. A few taste tests would have provided a better idea where to come back for more. Definitely worth every Penny!! Thanks Valerie for the history.
