Alison Merrill Hello/Bonjour!

About:

Your group has come from very far away to visit San Francisco, the Bay Area and California.  
It is simply America’s most beautiful city, and I want to make sure you have a great experience here.  

Groups always appreciate my conversational style for city tour commentary:  I want to put facts into context, so rather than a checklist of San Francisco sights, you get a whole and varied perspective, from history to today.  

I guide: leisure travel, students of all ages, DMC business/meeting and incentive groups, walking, bike-the-bridge and foreign in-bound, especially in French.  

I’ve led groups in the Bay Area, and all over the American West, and Southeast, from South Dakota to San Diego, Hawaii, to Texas/Louisiana, to FL/GA/TN.  

I also work as a substitute teacher and at many farmers markets selling cheese from a Sonoma County “legacy” ranch.  

Personal fact:  I love animals, especially cats and…. Gorillas!
