Urban Jungles and City Heights October 12, 2014had a great experience!! Our leader Alexandra was fun and knowledgable. I definitely recommend taking an urban hike with her, even if you already live in the city - you're sure to learn or see something new!

Urban Jungles and City Heights September 6, 2014I cannot say enough positive things about Alex and my urban hiking experience. I've been going to San Francisco for years and seen it through the eyes of my native San Franciscan mother as well as the occasional tourist trap I force my family into attending. Nothing has ever been as memorable and fun as Urban Hiker. Alex is personable, outgoing, incredibly informative, and most importantly, an adventurous spirit who is fun to be around. I am not an avid hiker by any means, but she quickly eased my apprehension over whether or not I was physically fit enough to complete the 5-mile trek without entirely passing out at the end. There were plenty of breaks to catch your breath and there's nothing quite like standing at the top of a hill to take in the crisp, refreshing breeze of the Bay. My family was absolutely astounded that I got to see some hidden gems that they never even realized existed, and the time flew by. In fact, if Alex hadn't had a private tour later that afternoon, I would have signed up for the next one in a heartbeat! Go. You will not be disappointed.

Urban Jungles and City Heights July 20, 2014Highly recommend Alex and her urban hikes. Fantastic way to spend a morning or afternoon and really get to know the city. Alex is very knowledgable and leads a fun, engaging hike.
I went on the urban hike starting at the Filbert steps. Great views and a great workout.
Can't wait to try some of her other hikes soon! -

Urban Jungles and City Heights July 20, 2014Johnny Fu was our guide on the Urban Jungles tour. Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, he was accommodating of our specific needs as a group. The walk up the Twin Peaks was beautiful and enjoyable. What a great way to see the city, whether you're new to it or interested in seeing it in a different way. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is curious about SF.

Urban Jungles and City Heights July 16, 2014We did the Urban Jungle hike and had such a great time we booked the Presidio hike as well. Alex, our guide, was friendly, welcoming and infectiously enthusiastic. Both of the hikes were great. We discovered lots of beautiful areas we would never have found on our own and we learnt a lot of interesting information as we went along. A great way to explore another side to San Francisco, and get a bit of a workout at the same time!

Urban Jungles and City Heights July 8, 2014I took my mom on the Urban Jungle hike and we enjoyed it immensely! This is a wonderful activity for beginner and moderate walkers/hikers. The scenery and historical knowledge from Alex make the time fly by while your eyes feast on gorgeous sites you may never have known about in your own city. Alex was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. These hikes make wonderful activities to do alone, with a friend, or a small group for team-building. Looking forward to trying the other hikes!

Urban Jungles and City Heights July 1, 2014I have to say that Alex the tour guide/owner makes Urban Hiker such a fun and educational experience. I was worried at first because I am not in the best shape and felt I would slow down the tour. However, Alex was very patient and made sure that all of us were comfortable. I learned so much about SF and seen many areas that no tour bus would take you to. I loved Urban Hiker SF so much that I booked four in all. So if you want to learn about all areas of SF, not just the touristy areas and get some exercise as well, I would suggest you book a tour with Urban Hiker SF.

Urban Jungles and City Heights February 19, 2013AMAZING!
Alexandra makes a great tour guide with her secret routes and in depth knowledge on San Francisco history. These tours are perfect for locals looking for a weekend activity and a MUST for San Francisco visitors.
Hey San Francisco locals, you may be thinking that you've 'been there, done that' so why pay for such a service. I must say, I was a skeptic myself and did this for my out-of-towner guests. But after going on the Urban Jungle hike, I am excited to give all hikes a try and uncover more secret sf history!
