My wife and I enjoyed the tour. My wife is a history teacher so the tour was good to understand the history of SF. I enjoyed both the history and architecture aspects. The city has really evolved thru time and understanding the history and forefathers was engaging. Check this out.! Also watch for idiot drivers when crossing the street on the tour.

The tour was very complete and our guide was very attentive, and showed us not only the buildings but also pictures. She was very well educated (she studied History and Polytical Science at Berkeley). It was a great experience.

A wonderful tour led by a very knowledgeable guide, Valarie, who imparted lots of information about the rise of banking in the Old West. We were able to enjoy the amazing interiors of the early banks, some are still banks, others are repurposed. The original Bank of America is now a high end men's clothing store! We ended at the Palace Hotel on Market Street and are looking forward to going on the Nob Hill Tour next time we visit SF.
