Tour Overview

This specially curated Gay San Francisco Private Tour is the perfect choice if you want to experience the Queer history of San Francisco. We’ll show you the very best of our City, with a unique lens focused on the LGBTQ+ experience, past and present.

At 6 hours, this tour includes many of the City’s famous locations, as well a stop to sample a beloved Queer-fabulous brunch spot!

You may also extend your day an additional hour* if you wish to include a deep-dive walking tour of the epicenter of the Gay Civil Rights Movement, Harvey Milk’s Castro neighborhood.

Explore and celebrate multi-faceted San Francisco with us. You’ll walk away having seen so much more than the average visitor, and with a greater understanding of our diverse culture. Learn about the fascinating 175yr history of SF’s LGBT+ community from the Gold Rush to present day.

If you’re super short on time, our pre-curated Half-Day Highlights of San Francisco private tour could also be a perfect solution. Otherwise, we’re also happy to offer a custom SF city tour catered completely to your interests and schedule.
