Discover the complete history of this iconic neighborhood, from its relationship to the Barbary Coast to the birth of the Beatniks, all the way to its current position as a world-famous Little Italy. You'll visit famous sites like "perfect" Washington Square Park, The Condor, home of both topless and bottomless dancing, The Hippodrome, a dance hall from the Barbary Coast era, among many other interesting sites. You will be wowed by the architectural beauty of the only downtown district to survive the Fire of 1906. This isn't one of those tours where you follow along, eyes glazing over as you try to absorb dry facts and figures. Interactive fun is at the heart of the tour. You'll answer questions, play games, and laugh along the way. Learn about firemen fanatics, swindlers, drinkers, poets, gamblers, whiskey, and why it's called North Beach in the first place, since there isn't any beach.
Note: Food is not included in the tour, but the group will often stop for coffee or a snack mid-way. This tour runs in rain or shine. This tour avoids hills for those who want to keep it level, but there is one very slight incline in the middle of the tour. Exact meeting location will be provided upon confirmation.

The Whole Shebang Tour October 16, 2014We truly enjoyed our walking tour of San Francisco neighborhoods. Our kids are ages 12 and 9, the tour was perfect for them. We made plenty of stops, talked about the history and had a bunch of funs answering questions with chocolate as our reward! We strongly recommend this tour for families and large groups. Our guide was very interesting and kept us well informed and entertained.

The Whole Shebang Tour October 4, 2014Very fun way of learning about San Francisco's history and present and a great way to experience multiple neighborhoods. I thought a 3 hour tour would be too long, but by the end of it, I wanted to keep going!

The Whole Shebang Tour September 19, 2014We really enjoy our walking tour. Our guide was exceptional. We learned a lot about San Francisco and the various communities we walked through. Our guide was truly remarkable and very knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the whole experience immensely. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this opportunity to our friends and relatives.

The Whole Shebang Tour July 19, 2014A small group led by a very gregarious Kevin explored the centre of San Francisco. We were quizzed, informed and exercised on the steep hills. Kevin was a great guide and was knowledgeable about history, engineering (well he knew about the cables in cable cars!) and where to get fresh fortune cookies. Our family (comprising parents and teens) saw the City through the eyes of a local and we all had fun.

The Whole Shebang Tour May 31, 2014Kevin, our guide, was very well informed on the History of San Francisco. Our tour was 3 hours, but most of the time was spent listining to Kevin's narritive. An easy walk with few hills. Our group consisted of only 2 of us, so we could move at at out pace. Most interesting was the pre 1906 earthquake history and the development that followed. China Town was a treat as we had never been there before, but have been to China town in Singapore recently and it felt just the same. Well worth the time and money. Thanks Kevin

The Whole Shebang Tour April 20, 2014I enjoyed this. Tour guide was a really nice guy and very well informed. They bill this as a comedic 3 hours and it wasn't really. But it was fun and informative and I liked the tour guide. My only critique is that it could have included another neighborhood, there was enough time. But as a whole I'd recommend it.

The Whole Shebang Tour January 12, 2014I am a tour guide in the city as well and wanted, not only to spend a great day with friends walking around the city, but also to get more history in this history rich city we live in. Kurt was our guide and I will say his tour was well paced, well informed and funny. I learned a lot and his delivery was casual, but informative. It was a great day all the way around!

The Whole Shebang Tour July 16, 2013This tour was fun and informative. It went over a lot of detail and most of the city. Our guide was funny and broke the ice. It was me and my date and we had a great time laughing. It was nice because it was just the 2 of us, and the tour guide even asked us if we wanted to stop to sit and have a coffee. The tour guide knew a lot of facts and even gave us Trivia questions and chocolate if we got the answer right.

The Whole Shebang Tour January 21, 2013We are long-time local residents yet learned so very much on this tour - we had a great time with "Tom" whose wit & knowledge were very entertaining. We'd highly recommend this tour not only for tourists, or for entertaining out-of-town guests, but for anyone wanting to know more about the place we call home.
