Stunning architecture and unforgettable San Francisco history
Alamo Square Park is one of the best known parks in San Francisco, with breath-taking views of the city skyline, the Painted Ladies of Postcard Row, the University of San Francisco, and so much more.
Our guide to The Painted Ladies and Victorian Homes of Alamo Square Tour
This one-of-a-kind walking tour brings together the historic with the modern in one of the most recognizable places in the entire world.
You’ll learn about the role Alamo Hill played during the 1906 fires, its status as a watering hole long before that, and the far-reaching implications of the Van Ness Ordinance.
As we make our way around the park, you’ll also hear about what makes City Hall so special and get a sense of the different housing styles in this neighbourhood that boasts the second highest concentration of 10,000-square-foot homes in San Francisco.
We’ll also explore the William Westerfeld House (where past residents range from Russian czars to German confectioners), and the Archbishop’s Mansion, where Pope Pius XII used to stay.
We’ll even get the opportunity to step inside the Historic Chateau Tivoli, one of the many grand Victorian homes in beautiful Alamo Square. Our time ends in the historic Fillmore District, after visiting Third Baptist Church, the first Black church in the city.
