Overview

Victorian Home Walking Tour San Francisco

Whether you're a first-time traveler or a frequent visitor to the Bay Area, on the Victorian Home Walk you'll get the real flavor of San Francisco, much more than you could with any other tour. Even die-hard natives discover new interests and enjoy learning about the City's architecture and history. You'll be awestruck by the opulence of the Victorian mansions. Amazingly, many of these splendid estates are still single-family homes.

One of the most popular stops on the tour is the house where "Mrs. Doubtfire" was filmed, site of the wild birthday party menagerie. Another favorite is a gorgeous Italianate Villa, built in 1865 for a wagon and carriage manufacturer.
