Tipsy Original SF Native Tour

Overview

Tipsy Original Tour covers the most popular neighborhoods in SF to provide the best local intro to the city with 4 drinks! The tour starts in the heart of the financial district underneath the Transamerica Pyramid. After our group introduction in SF's smallest redwood park, we'll weave our way through the secret side of downtown to see parts of the city that even locals often miss! As we explore the historical Barbary Coast we share family stories of the Wild West during the Gold Rush years. After learning about these lawless times, we'll make our way into North Beach (our Little Italy) as we sample a plethora of snacks and introduce our groups to local community businesses. We'll end the tour in our most authentic historic neighborhood, Chinatown. In Chinatown, we'll visit stores and marketplaces that sell unique items, both dead & alive(!), while trying delicious authentic dim sum. Finally, we'll finish up by visiting the fortune-cookie factory and the "living room" of Chinatown.

I have been on city tours in Rome, New York City and Mexico City and this by far has been the best. Stuart knows a ton when it comes to his city. He immerses you in the city's past and also gives insights to where SF is headed. Food and drinks were amazing. I highly recommend this walking tour thanks Stuart for sharing SF with us!!!

I’ve done walking tours in London, Paris, Berlin and Rome. The Tipsy Tour was by far the best walking tour of all. Stewart is extremely knowledgeable about San Francisco history and his enthusiasm for the city was infectious. The food and drinks were wonderful. Highly recommend! My wife always has her own commentary which follows: What fun! It was more a personal and friendly group outing than a guided tour. Every moment was fun or informative (usually both)! You won’t be disappointed !
