Fun tour - I am so glad we did this tour even if it was a little out of the way from where we were staying. I felt these tiled steps would not have been as fun without learning from Greg along the way. He knows a lot about the city and shared interesting info. We really enjoyed the nice small group we were with and thankfully the weather turned out good and didn’t rain until later after the tour was done! I also really appreciated all his restaurant recommendations, linked lists, other helpful tips, and organization with taking photos.

Bright spot on a rainy day! - Greg gives SF background, history, and fun facts with a sense of humor. It’s obvious that he has cultivated personal relationships with residents along his tour route and brings a sense of pride and respect to the city in which he lives. His tour is predetermined, but his ability to tailor the presentation to a specific audience is apparent.

A Lot More Hidden than just Stairways! - If you have been to San Francisco before and are looking for something "off the beaten path," this is a MUST tour. Greg was so enjoyable, funny, and knowledgeable. It is definitely a hidden stairways tour, but truly it's so much more than that. I don't want to go into too many details, because you deserve to be as happily surprised and pleased as we were. Some tour guides do it for the money. You can tell Greg loves what he does ~ 10 stars!!

Don’t be intimidated ! Go for it, you won’t regret it! - Greg was an outstanding tour guide! I’m so happy we took this tour of hidden stairways. The steps are views are just gorgeous and Greg pauses at the perfect spots to get a sight of the views and catch your breath if steps are a bit off a challenge. They were not for us, but I was upon the first incline and we had no idea we had walked up it because he’s full of information and good tips about the city, you don’t even realize you’re hiking up an incline. What a wonderful tour guide, and we absolutely loved his stories and what we saw. Thanks again Greg! We appreciate the experience so much! Book the tour, you be happy you did!!

Great experience. Highly recommended for locals. - It was great tour and Greg was great both as tour guide and storyteller. I have lived in the bay area for over 40 years but never knew about those stairways let alone history of surrounding area, Sunset District. It was great learning experience. There were many people visiting those stairways and those people were listening in. I would highly recommend this tour, not only for those people visiting San Francisco but for locals as well.

My new favorite thing to recommend to friends visiting SF. - Greg is awesome. A longtime local who's incredibly knowledgeable, as well as very kind and funny. The story of the hidden stairwys is amazing, and they are an inspiring and beautiful neighborhood achievement. I know San Francisco fairly well, but this was new territory for me, and well worth the time. I don't think there are better views of the city. Greg makes the tour great.

A must do tour in San Francisco - An amazing experience through the parts of San Francisco you wouldn’t have found on your own. Greg was so interesting, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his home city. Local information from someone who has lived there for 22 years. Tour lasted about 2 hours at a relaxed pace. Highly recommend Thank you Greg for a fantastic insight
