Urban Trek USA has been the premier San Francisco tour for over a decade. 

First "secret spot" has a spectacular view from approximately 350 feet above.

You will also be provided with a brief explanation on the different types of Victorian houses.

Second "secret spot" has even a more spectacular view from approximately 650 feet above. A bonus after will be seeing some modern houses that you would want to own if have a few million dollars.

Before heading to the next place, if you choose to do so, you will able able to stop at one of the cafes in a quaint neighborhood and use their toilet. Please note that most establishments require that you purchase something in order to use their toilet. Also, keep in mind that there will be no public toilet for another hour to hour and a half (until we will have lunch) so do not drink or eat too much. (Note: There is a public toilet in a park prior to getting to the quaint neighborhood if you are not  particular about using a public toilet.)

Third "secret spot" has a fabulous view of San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz. The bonuses along the way are seeing a work of art made from nature by a pretty well-known artist and some of the biggest mansions in San Francisco. 

An added bonus is this pretty awesome view on the way to the street where you  will have a lunch break. For lunch you can choose from a wide variety of types of very good food (i.e. American, Italian, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Seafood, etc.). One hour lunch break will be approximately between 12:30 - 1:30 pm and you can enjoy your lunch and relax. (Note: The cost of your meal will be your responsibility and is not included in the price of your private urban trek.)

Fitness level:

Everyone has to be fit in order to walk uphill for at least two city blocks and can spend hours on their feet. Of course, walking will not be constant since there will be trips on public transportation and short breaks to take photos and admire the views. Resting will be fine but it will be hard for people who are not fit to do this urban trek and enjoy it. Each stretch of walking will be approximately 15 minutes before a short standing break while the Urban Trek Leader explains or says something about the place. There will also be approximately 5 to 15 minutes for photo and relax to admire scenery time at each scenic place.
