Go City - North Beach Walking Tour - Recommended
Alexa Michael ·The guide was well informed and I learned many interesting facts about this area of San Francisco that I would not otherwise have known. For example, I had no idea that the water line previously came up to the houses here. It would have been good to go inside the church as it is historic. Otherwise a good tour.
Great Tour to Learn More about the History
ClaireWithLove ·I did the North Beach tour through the Go City pass. Meeting point was at the Volunteer Fireman's memorial which is a great location at a park with a public bathroom and playground near by. Our tour guide was Kenan, and I really enjoyed the information he had to share about San Francisco, so I could appreciate the history more and learn about some iconic food places. I was really glad that I took the tour even though I had just walked around North Beach and already been to Pier 39. After the rest of the group left to go to Alcatraz (option not offered through the Go City pass), Kenan went above and beyond to explain the Waymo driverless taxi app interface as I asked, since my husband and I had tried it twice and missed it twice since we couldn't figure out where to meet the taxi.
Washington Square to the pier walk
RIna and Doug ·Kegan was very informative and told us a lot about the history and facts about San Francisco. We loved his walk down from north shore to the pier.
Great day
Stephen and Kristine ·Informative and enjoyable. A great way to get our bearings.
Could be improved
Anonymous ·I thought this tour needed more content, the guide was lovely, and it was pouring wet which didn’t help.
worthwhile
Lois ·Nice, knowledgeable tour guide, learned about and saw things you would overlook if not on this tour
