Additional Information

When Robert Louis Stevenson made his way to San Francisco in 1879, he famously remarked, ‘Nob Hill, the Hill of Majestic Palaces, should unquestionably be considered the finest section of San Francisco. It’s the spot where the affluent convened, competing in grandeur’. My personalized Nob Hill tour is a spirited two-hour walking photographic journey beginning with a Cable Car ride and exploring a French Gothic Cathedral, concluding at the Top of the Mark situated on the 19th level of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, where we’ll capture stunning pictures and enjoy drinks at sunset.

Nob Hill’s rich and diverse history encompasses:

  • The Gold Rush (the cheerleaders for San Francisco 49rs are not what I’m referring to)
  • The Silver Bonanza (excluding Ben Cartwright, Hoss or Little Joe)
  • The construction of The Transcontinental Railroad
  • The 1906 Earthquake and ensuing Fire, and
  • An impressive French-Gothic styled Episcopal Cathedral that required almost 40 years to complete.

Nob Hill offers an abundance of picturesque moments for photography enthusiasts!
