This independent GPS audio tour enables you to explore a well-preserved area of San Francisco. Journey through North Beach, known for its beats, punk culture, and jazz, all the way to Jackson Square, where Gold Rush miners used to gather to assess their gold, party, and rest.

The journey commences at the crossroads of Columbus and Broadway. You can either take the BART to Montgomery Street and walk eastwards, or commute via the MUNI bus.

While the tour presents mesmerizing bay views during the daytime, the charm of the evening is equal, if not superior. Its cafes are brimming with activity, while bookshops and pubs host both paid and free jazz concerts, poetry recitals and additional shows.

Midway, you have the opportunity to visit City Lights Books, Cafe Vesuvio, The Beat Museum, Neibaum Coppola, Cafe Pucchini, and Stella Bakery.

At your convenience, the tour is ready, with the audio automatically playing at the right moment and location, courtesy of your smartphone’s GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
