Join us for a stroll through Golden Gate Park that highlights parts of SF City Guides' three walking tours in the Park: Golden Gate Park East, American History in Golden Gate Park, and Stow Lake-Strawberry Hill. Starting at Conservatory of Flowers we'll wind our way through the Park, noting monuments, landmark groves, museums and gardens, all the while hearing Park history and see it's world famous beauty. From the familiar Music Concourse with it's world class museums, we will go to Stow Lake and walk along a more natural landscape as we climb to the top of Strawberry Hill and have a view of the City. We descend along steep stairs along a rushing waterfall back to Stow Lake. This is the Park that some said could never be built. Come see for yourself. Come see for yourself.

This Stroll blends three of the City’s most epic stories: its Gold Rush beginning which captured the world’s imagination, its utter destruction in one of the world’s most devastating earthquakes and fires, and its dramatic rebirth as a forest of graceful skyscrapers designed by legendary architects.

Emergence of a DestinationA shoreline of industrial piers, low-slung warehouses and vacant lots has transformed in recent decades to a world-class recreation destination. Stroll with us along the waterfront in the Dogpatch and Mission Bay neighborhoods. Learn how a stinky area formerly known as the tar flats has emerged as a home to two major arenas, a college campus, restaurants, and a few bohemian throwbacks to San Francisco's prior years.
