Valarie did an excellent job acquainting us with the fabulous architecture of the financial district of San Francisco. She was very personable and obviously very knowledgeable of the subject. If interested in history and architecture, would highly recommend. A very pleasant afternoon of approximately 3 hours.

Such an interesting tour of this part of San Francisco and Valarie is an absolute fount of knowledge! We were able to enter many lobbies to see lovely tilework or painted ceilings - incredible architectural details that have been honored and not destroyed. Who knew the surprise (to me) in the pocket park adjacent to the Transamerica Tower - natural giants among manmade ones. Especially loved Valarie's enthusiasm for this area and appreciated the depth of her research. Can't wait to get back to the city for more of her tours.
