Step Out and About - I had a wonderful outing with Greg! Luckily, I was the only participant which resulted in very pleasant conversations. The walk through the neighborhoods to the steps was an easy walk with Greg stopping intermittently along the way to point out various buildings, flowers and the unexpected tidbit about the area. He is a wealth of knowledge and his easy going nature at once puts you at ease. Finally, the views are spectacular (if you get a clear day). Don’t miss this adventure. Thanks for showing me the bus stop back to the train - and the donut shop!

Beautiful staircases - Great experience. The mosaic steps are beautiful. The guide is very knowledgeable about the area and how the stairs came to be.

The best SF experience! - Greg makes the walk really fun by immersing you in a brief cultural and economic history of SF. He is a great guide who comes prepared - I particularly loved that he took photos of all notable spots so that we don’t have to bother with it during our walk which was great because I could enjoy the walk even more. He also shows you interesting pictures of the neighbourhood from the past. 2 hr walk doesn’t seem much at all when you’re chatting and learning. Greg alone made the experience super worth it!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s - Greg has the best personality! We loved all the history he shared along our route to see the beautiful stairways. I highly recommend this tour! We were lucky to enjoy it on a beautiful, sunny day in SF. The views were spectacular and will plan to take friends and family visiting the Bay Area on this tour. 5 stars!

Fun tour to explore small nooks of San Francisco - We had a wonderful tour! While we are Bay Area locals, we learned so much more about San Francisco. We had no idea these staircases existed before the tour. They were beautiful to see and fun to hear the stories behind them and the local neighborhoods. Greg was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and we had a great time with him.

Wonderful Guided Walk! - Greg is a warm, authentic, knowledgeable guide. Even as locals, we learned so much and got a true sense of San Francisco from its early days up to the present. This inner sunset neighborhood is full of color and nature - all reflected in the beautiful mosaic stairs. The 2-hr walk is a perfect afternoon activity, not too strenuous but rewarding with some amazing city views (if Karl cooperates!)
