Next, we’ll check out the oldest bakery in Chinatown, a church that survived the 1906 earthquake, the oldest temples in the USA, all while sipping some delicious bubble tea. As we approach our final hour, we head to a local tea shop and learn about the role of tea in traditional Chinese medicine with a 30-minute tasting. Feeling warm, we head to our last stop to learn about the Gold Rush, in the exact spot it all started! Here we taste a local pork roll from one of the oldest restaurants in town.

We'll sail aboard USA 76, the San Francisco challenger for the 2003 America's Cup. With a mast that reaches 11 stories high, everything is big and powerful. Participation is encouraged, and you'll get to fill active crew roles and have the opportunity to spin the coffee grinders to trim sails, take your turn at the helm, or simply sit back and enjoy the ride on this high-performance America’s Cup yacht. Each trip will operate with between 8-20 guests aboard. If we don't reach the minimum, I will contact you approximately 36 hours prior to departure to offer alternatives or issue a refund.

Explore the largest sexual and gender diverse community in the world and cruise the Castro like a local on this fun and fascinating two-hour LGBTQ cultural walk. As a long-time resident and civil rights activist, I'll show you why diversity is celebrated as we meet real people with real stories in this beautiful village of rainbows. Offering the most comprehensive LGBTQ tour in the world, you'll visit twice as many historical sites than any other tour experience. Discover how the Gold Rush, World War II, civil rights leader Harvey Milk, the AIDS epidemic, and the Rainbow Honor Walk created such a strong and progressive LGBTQ community. Learn how LGBTQ equality and civil rights are still being fought for in the United States today. Private groups of 10 or more can be accommodated on a request basis and are subject to availability. Other things to note Fortunately, San Francisco's weather is mostly mild year round so tours operate rain or shine. Please dress accordingly. Our route is easy, with no large hills and is handicapped accessible. There will be adult content.

We will meet at a pier in the Marina/Presidio district of San Francisco where we will be located near the Golden Gate Bridge. The views of the water will be spectacular and because of the size of the pier we will have more than enough room to spread out and try our techniques. Make sure to arrive early so you can find parking and pay for it if need be near The Warming Hut cafe. Once all the guests have arrived we will learn to set up the equipment we will supply with a very detailed explanation of how and why we use particular gear. Once we have set up our rods, filled our bait in our traps we will learn the different forms of casting and the technique of reeling. Because we are fishing for crab there is a different approach to how you catch crab off of a rod and reel. We will not be allowed to take home any Dungeness crab, unfortunately, because the Bay is a protected estuary. As a result we will be catching rock & red crab which are edible and delicious crabs to take home. This experience is an all weather endeavor so rain or shine we will make it happen. Please join me as many others have to see if spending an afternoon out on the waterfront of the bay, meeting new people and learning a skill is right for you! Great for big groups, corporate outings and team building exercises! Please inquire directly if you have 10+ people www.theartofcrabbing.com

Experience a brunch in SF like never before! Let me take you on a journey to view some of the most historic sites while you enjoy delicious dishes and cocktails that are only found in SF! As a certified mixologist, I know amazing drinks and great food. I have previously been comissioned by popular resorts to lead inspirational trainings on the history of American Cocktailian culture as well as develop their cocktail programs. As a 15+ year SF-resident I love to share historical facts about this amazing city. This mostly walking tour kicks off in the lovely and lively Marina District which includes a stop for a photo op at the Palace of Fine Arts and ends with an uber ride at the place where the Irish Coffee was first introduced to America in 1952 at Fisherman's Wharf. We'll enjoy a 90 minute brunch at a Michelin-recommended, American-Thai fusion restaurant known for their delicious and famously trademarked specialty dish. This tour is really great for locals and individuals that may be traveling alone through the city and want to feel like they are getting shown around by an old friend as well as for couples and small groups that enjoy sight seeing while maintaining a "nice buzz." This tour includes stops at 6 different locations with the first 4 happening within a 3 block radius. This is one of the best walking tours with no hills!
