Russian Hill

Quintessential San Francisco

Russian Hill means fantastic bay views, classic SF architecture and mouth-watering gourmet cuisine. We’ll begin our tour at the hill’s peak on Macondray Lane, the inspiration for Armistead Maupin’s iconic Tales of the City. From there we will stroll past Hyde Street’s cable cars to Polk Street, once the happening center of the city’s gay community.

We will introduce you to butchers, cheesemongers, bakers and a gelato maker who call this neighborhood home. You will depart well satiated, full of insider recommendations for your return visit to this quintessential San Francisco neighborhood.

Why Gourmet Walks?

Our Difference

Testimonials

“After 20 years of living in San Francisco, it was great to still be discovering new things! The guides knew all the historic nooks and crannies of Russian Hill, dropping tidbits of information as we walked each block. The stops were a mix of old classics and new concepts, so we felt like we had seen it all. The proprietors were friendly, gracious, and generous with all the goodies. The gelato maker encouraged us to taste as many flavors as we liked- we barely had room to eat the complimentary scoop!”
- Eric, July 2017

“My husband, son & I were very lucky to have a private tour of Russian Hill with guide Marie. We started at an easy-to-miss Macondray Lane, a pedestrian walk-way straight out of fairy tales! Marie showed us sights and gave interesting history and that's even before the wonderful food stops. The web site describes the seven food vendors so you know what to expect. (Do tell if you have diet restrictions as the food is pre-ordered except you choose your own ice cream flavor.) The pace of walking and eating was perfect, both for our 30 year old son and us approaching 70. Everything was simply delightful and a wonderful way to spend three hours in the city.”
