SFTGG Certified Guide
About:
Welcome to San Francisco, my home for over 40 years! I offer standard or customized tours of San Francisco, Wine Country, and most places in Northern California. I focus on history and culture oriented tours with local anecdotes you won’t hear elsewhere. Additionally, I serve as volunteer tourguide with the Presidio of San Francisco National Park, the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, and SF CityGuides, a free service of SF Public Library. Over the years I have provided tours for nearly every major cruiseship line, commercial accounts like EBay and Oracle, and scores of individual travelers from the US and abroad.
Earlier in my life during my stress filled, high tech days, I was lucky enough to travel most of the world. Let me show you San Francisco and its environs from this global perspective, and how the area truly stands apart.
