Start here

The first thing to do in a new city

The landmarks everyone photographs, told by someone who can explain why they are there. Pick one for your first morning and the rest of the trip makes more sense.

Get your bearings in a morning

A good first tour works like a map you can ask questions of. You leave knowing which neighborhoods to go back to, where to eat, and the stories behind the buildings you will keep seeing for the rest of your trip.

Your first visit

Which one should I book first?

In San Francisco, start with the Fisherman’s Wharf walk or the downtown architecture tour. In Los Angeles, the Broad and downtown walk or Museum Row gives you the best overview in a morning.

Do I need a car?

No. Every meeting point is reachable by public transit or rideshare, and each page has directions. In San Francisco you will not want a car at all.

Private & corporate

Want it just for your group?

Every experience can run privately, and we build custom itineraries for teams, celebrations and school groups.
