San Francisco Mission and Castro Districts Tour 3 hr

Discover two of San Francisco’s most distinctive neighborhoods on a guided walk through Castro and the Mission District. With a French-speaking guide and a group of up to 10, you’ll encounter local history, striking architecture, and the creative spirit of these lively streets.

In Castro, follow the story of the city’s LGBT community, passing Harvey Milk Plaza, the Castro Theatre, and the former photography shop of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. Then head into the Mission, San Francisco’s oldest Hispanic neighborhood, to see Victorian homes, colorful murals, and the city’s oldest building, Mission Dolores. Explore street art at the Women’s Building and Clarion Alley, then stroll along palm-lined Dolores Street and browse the independent shops and bookstores of Valencia Street.

The route also reveals Liberty Hill’s varied architecture, from modest cottages to Victorian mansions, before ending with sweeping city views from Dolores Park.
