You'll be avoiding large crowds of tourists while experiencing the real culture of San Francisco and learning about its rich and storied history. You'll traverse the city on Cable Cars, Light Rail, and City Buses. These vehicles are zero emissions or run on bio diesel, making this tour totally green. You must be able to walk 4 separate uphill 1.5 block sections, there are a total of 6 uphill flights of stairs, and 15 downhill flights of stairs, spread throughout the day. The day encompasses over 5 miles of walking including short uphill sections and hidden stairways that most people find extremely enjoyable.
