Russian Hill Stairways
Neighborhood: Russian Hill
Description
If you are looking for a walk that will test your knees, but reward your eyes with breathtaking views, follow our guides who will let you catch your breath while you listen to personalized narratives of amazing historic figures like architect Willis Polk or poet Ina Coolbrith. With sometimes unpredictable microclimates that may require minor adjustments to the path we choose, no Russian Hill Stairways tour will be exactly the same. But one thing that will never change is our guides are eager to share San Francisco through a lens that is built on the tripod of unique streets like Macondray Lane and Lombard Street.
