San Francisco Eureka Valley History Tour

Climb through history on a four-peak tour of San Francisco’s unique neighborhood, Eureka Valley. This multicultural hotspot spans the Castro District, Twin Peaks, Corona Heights, & Dolores Heights. Eureka Valley was known as the outskirts of the City. The place where Market Street stopped and cows grazed. Uncover the history of the Eureka Valley as we investigate relics of the 1850s outskirts and the churches of the 1890s Irish community. We’ll travel through streets that were abandoned in the 60's & brought back to life in 70's by the flourishing gay community. Locals & visitors alike can appreciate these untold moments in history as we explore four of the best vistas in San Francisco. We'll visit secret staircases & hidden concrete slides; secluded gardens & a certain podium with a missing statue. At the peak of Corona Heights, we’ll conclude at the fascinating Randall Museum. "Snack stop" made at the famous Hot Cookie for a tasty treat (for purchase). Wear your hiking shoes!
