• Do it all in 90 minutes or linger at stops along the way with complete control over when you start and finish

Even though i have lived here for years i learned so much about my city. The narrators were excellent . I left feeling that there is hope in the world.

Using engaging stories and up to date information, this audio tour made the S.F. Embarcadero come alive for me! I love living-history experiences that acquaint me with the sights I am seeing like this one did as I strolled along the Embarcadero experiencing the past and present at once!

This is a terrific tour! I learned so much about the history and ecology of this beautiful, fragile place. I particularly appreciated the sound quality. Highly recommended!
