Nob Hill

Valarie gave us a gray tour of Nob Hill filled with interesting stories of the families that settled the area and their effect on San Francisco. Excellent tour - Highly recommended!

Learning about the men who shaped the city and their legacy. The buildings were beautiful and the tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history

My husband and I were very impressed with level of knowledge Valerie had of the eight wealthy men that built their homes on Nob Hill. She added the important bits of history of our country as well as SF. We learned so much and had a great time!

Our guide was very knowledgeable . She was a pleasure to be with. We really enjoyed our tour of the Fairmont hotel.

We learned so much about the history and architecture of Nob Hill, where we were staying. Valarie was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We came away with a better understanding about what drove the settling of San Francisco and the powerful men and women that formed its character. I was surprised that their names have lingered long after the mansions they built were gone and loved seeing the insides of the hotels that bear them. So ornate—so beautiful! The tour was well paced. We didn’t have to go very far—so much history in a few city blocks!

Learning about the railroad tycoons and how they stamped their spot in history at Nob Hill. Comprehending the magnitude of the wealth they acquired through this deal.

Cathy was a lovely and informative guide to the history and architecture around Nob Hill. She answered our many questions with knowledge and patience and took great care of us and the rest of our group. We enjoyed seeing the photos of the people she was telling us about too.

I loved hearing about the history and the tour guide had plenty of interesting stories to tell. We are SF natives and learned several new things.

1. View of buildings from roof garden of Fairmont. 2. Interesting historical characters and tidbits.

Behind the scenes tour of Fairmont Hotel ... interesting historical info. of SF silver & railroad barons. Alas the mansions are mostly gone. Very pleasant tour guide

Having lived in the Bay Area for more than 15 years it was great to spend the afternoon learning about its history. Such a fun way to explore the city
