- Presidio of San Francisco - Starting from the Lodge at the Presidio, our 2-mile walk on the Main Post in the Presidio will take us thru historic neighborhoods, past the oldest parts of San Francisco, and into the National Cemetery. Along the way we’ll share stories about the people who have lived and worked here over the Presidio’s 240+ years. You’ll hear stories of ill-fated lovers, a house fire affecting a famous general and his family, and stories of heroes and a spy buried in the National Cemetery.
We’ll give you an overview of San Francisco’s history and Presidio’s role in its growth. Beginning as home of the Ohlone native people, to a Spanish, then Mexican military outpost, then U.S. Army base to national park site, the Presidio is now a park for the people!
Our walk meets at the Lodge at the Presidio. Hope to see you there!
- San Francisco National Cemetery - Stories of Buffalo Soldiers, a Union Spy, and a local Bay Area hero will capture your imagination, along with the spectacular view from the National Cemetery Overlook.
Be sure to bring your camera, the views of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge are sure to inspire!

Embark on a journey through the Presidio’s Main Post with JB Walking Tours! This walkabout imparts an understanding of the major areas within the main post of the Presidio. You could opt for a self-led tour, but wouldn’t it be more enchanting to learn through a live narrative rather than reading by yourself?
Additional information about our services can be retrieved from our website.
We will guide you through historical locales, unveil hidden treasures that astound even the locals, and recount tales of former inhabitants while covering the Presidio’s newer regions- Battery Bluffs and Tunnel Tops!
We’ll narrate events of a devastating fire, a heart-rending love story leading to a ghostly rumor, and valorous accounts of individuals interred in the National Cemetery (Buffalo Soldiers included!). We provide a comprehensive outlook into what living and working in this national park entails.
