Go for a walk in the Presidio today to see all the famous landmarks, and to hear historical anecdotes from your guide, which you couldn’t find in any guide books. You’ll make your way by Yoda Fountain, Pershing Square, and more, with your intimate group (10 max). You’ll spend about a half day on this tour, ending at the dramatic Golden Gate Bridge.
We start at the Lombard & Lyon street entrance to The Presidio, and stroll through the Letterman District (Lucasfilm ). Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for pictures!
We’ll walk through several historic neighborhoods, viewing the changing landscape as we learn about the history of The Presidio and it’s future projects.
On the main post, we’ll hear stories about what life was like for officers and enlisted soldiers who lived here. Then, it’s onto the Presidio Officers’ Club, one of the oldest buildings in San Francisco.
At the National Cemetery, we’ll hear curious stories of some of the people buried here, and take in a spectacular view of the bay from the overlook where we will eat our own lunches & snacks. After a break we’ll continue our walk past historic Cavalry stables where the famous Buffalo Soldiers once camped, and check out the Pilot’s Row historic neighborhood as we continue our walk to the Golden Gate Bridge!
