Blue Painted Lady House Tour - Interior Guided Tour by Owner of Iconic SF Home

Overview

The Painted Ladies are known worldwide from photos, guidebooks, film and TV shows such as "Full House". For locals, they are a cherished symbol of our city and our history. These are all private homes and are rarely open for viewing. The blue painted lady is one of the most original and preserved of the seven homes in this row. The interior reflects almost 174 years of this family's history in the city. It is not a recreation of an 1890s home, nor is it the tour meant as an inspiration for home décor or design. We hope guests find the period furnishings and paintings harmonious and the stories engaging.

A friend and I enjoyed this tour of this very special home, we had a fantastic tour guide, who is the owner of the home. As a long time bay are residents, we learned so much history of SF, along with the history of this special home. George the owner, makes the tour an even more special experience. I recommend this tour highly, place it on your must to do list.

The homeowner guiding the tour is such a sweet and passionate man! He's very attached to his family home and uses the tour money to keep up the original look of the interior. Its such a unique and personal experience!
