The meeting point of St. Anne's Catholic Church was easy to find. We felt comfortable waiting there except for the fact that there were no public bathroom facilities nearby.
Our tour guide arrived in a timely manner. He made sure everyone had arrived, checked in, and understood the parameters of the tour.
The tour group was small, consisting of couples, individuals, and a family with a school-age child. We had an opportunity to introduce ourselves as the tour guide had.
It was a typical San Francisco weather day. Fortunately, we had prepared by making sure we had water, snacks, and jackets. Comfortable walking shoes are essential!
Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, interesting, kind, patient, and had a great sense of humor. He took group and individual photos as he offered or was requested. He shared samples of edible plants along the way. He also offered a plant to take home at the end of the tour to add to a garden.
The tour was at a good pace. It was not too fast or too slow. It was a lot of walking and climbing as expected, but doable even for older people in the group who have good mobility.
After the tour, the guide sent copies of the photos he took to all participants. It was great to receive them, and I have enjoyed sharing them with family and friends.
I would highly recommend this tour to others!
