I'm Greg, also host of the top-rated Hidden Stairways of San Francisco experience. I'm a world traveler and former music radio host who grew up in Ireland. I fell in love with this city and its music scene the moment I arrived more than 30 years ago. My work in radio brought me in contact with San Francisco rock legends like Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir.
The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood was the center of the counter-culture movement and the Summer of Love. I'll bring its bohemian history to life and even share some dark secrets from its distant past. I'll bring you to the homes of the musicians that lived here and you'll marvel at the colorful murals and beautiful Victorian houses along the way. Oh, I'll also introduce you to the world's greatest record store!

For thousands of years humans have got a living by the waters of Mission Creek in San Francisco. The First People, the Ohlone, dug shellfish in the bayland muck. Along came the Spanish, and Russians, and English, and then US citizens. Each successive wave of people used the land along the creek as the center of their livelihood-getting.
Come on a tour taking a close look at land contour, street and building names, and the diversity of ethnic shops and restaurants of the western Mission District as these tell the story of how land turned into real estate reveals the transit of humanity.
This walk abounds with philosophical observations on the evolution of humanity's use of land. You'll visit San Francisco's Mission Dolores, trace the course of Mission Creek, play-act fishing for wealth, learn to "read" a city, and stop by a community garden for a bite of greens! All in the heart of a vibrant urban neighborhood!
NOTE: As part of the tour I guide you through the Ohlone Indian museum at the Mission. There is a $7/person admission charge to enter. This charge is not mine, it's the museum's, but well worth this introduction to Ohlone/Spanish era San Francisco.
Up through 1882 it was relatively easy to enter California without a passport. Come along on a tour exploring ten 1804-1898 stories depicting the land-grubbing mystique of California. From the czar-crossed romance of Rezanov and Concepcion to the wild gold-lust rush of 1849 to the Chinese railroad labor coolies to Frederick Jackson Turner's 1893 "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" thesis, this walk demands an explanation for the need for passports to inhabit planet Earth. From the delusional but generous Emperor Norton to the clear-eyed Henry George, San Francisco has provided a rebuke to the scandalous notion of limited world citizenship. Spend two hours to join Thomas Paine in declaring, "My attachment is to all the world, and not to any particular part." Along the way we'll track buried ships, Mark Twain's San Francisco neighborhood, the Pony Express (the early forbear of the internet!), and heaps of other true and truly relevant stories demonstrating you didn't need a passport!
• Forget the hassle, we've got you covered! Cruise the well-curated Blue Route, where every corner is a postcard waiting to happen.
• After soaking up the sunset's magic, hop on the free shuttle to Union Square – shopping, dining, or just people-watching – the city's your oyster.
• Unleash your inner explorer with the super fun audio guide, packed with fun facts and secret spots on the open-top buses.
• Witness the city and landmarks like Golden Gate Bridge, Grace Cathedral, and Bay Bridge transform as the sun dips below the horizon.
If you're up for a thought-provoking two and three-quarters hours that's about ideas as much as fascinating historical figures, you'll be thrilled by the intellectual panorama presented!
In 1879 a San Francisco newspaperman and social philosopher proposed a revolutionary piece of public policy to fix the glaring wealth divide in the United States. Treat land values as community property. Within 10 years he had sold 3 million copies of his book, upset the British Empire, run for mayor of New York City as organized labor's champion, and engaged the Pope in public discourse on the rights of humanity. I refer to Henry George, today buried in the index of economic texts, but nevertheless deserving a hearing.
Come along on a walking tour surveying San Francisco social movement history on the way to introducing you to America's most important social thinker, Henry George . . . with the twist that he disputed Karl Marx's binary thinking, maintaining that the Earth constituted a distinct third leg in diagnosing the problem of the wealth divide.
On this fast-paced walk, you'll meet the Black Panthers, the American Indian Movement, the LGBTQ quest for full citizenship, the money reform dilemma, Sun Yat-sen and China's democracy movement, and many more stories of those seeking liberation in the distinctive San Francisco spirit that outrages complacency.
Along the way we'll discover a way to honor labor, humanity, and the quest for civic life.
• 6-language audio guides turn your bus ride into insightful journey, and a 1-hour plus 1-hour free bike rental lets you pedal through hidden sites.
• Set sail on a 1-hour Red & White Bay cruise, where Golden Gate's orange gates wave hello, Alcatraz island broods eerily, and seagulls squawk around.
• Soak up Bay views from breezy decks or AC indoors with wide windows, while stories in 16 tongues paint a vivid picture of San Francisco's maritime past.
• Fun fact: In 1962, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers attempted a daring escape from Alcatraz prison. Their fate remains a mystery!
