5.00Erin was so generous with her knowledge of the SF’s history and lore. Her storytelling drew us in giving us shivers as we listened. The architecture we saw coupled with the history was amazing. Highly recommend

5.00Really informative walking tour around some of the oldest parts of the city. We were the only ones booked so were lucky to enjoy a private tour. Jamie was a terrific guide and threw in some ghost stories as an extra for us. I suspect his ghost tour would be a lot of fun!
