Originally from the east coast, but have been a San Francisco local since 2000. I am the owner of a walking tour company, and over the past fourteen years, I have given over 3000 tours to guests from all over the world. I offer six different tours of the neighborhoods of San Francisco. . . The Castro, Mission district, Telegraph Hill, Eureka Valley, Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights, Chinatown, North Beach, Russian Hill and Golden Gate Park. All of the tours are approximately four miles each, cover various neighborhoods, and have at least one hill and one stairway on them. I take people to hidden stairways and gardens, amazing vistas, and famous landmarks. Along the way, I use my iPad to show relevant historical photos that are arranged in order of the stops on the tour. The tours were all designed as loops, with the start and finish a landmark spot, so guests do not get lost when the tour is finished. It has long been a dream of mine to own a business like I have, and I am extremely knowledgable and passionate about everything that is San Francisco. 7 year member of the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society 3 year member of San Francisco Tour Guide Guild Business is licensed with the City of San Francisco Studied with Improv Olympic in Los Angeles Fully insured Bachelor of Arts from University of Massachusetts at Amherst

    Ryan was terrific - enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We explored out of the way places and heard a lot of SF and Chinatown history. A super all around experience.

    We really liked Ryan. He is knowledgeable and very engaging. He blends history, his experience and knowledge of biology as well as local food scene in this tour. Would recommend!
