JB Tours Is A Must - We have been on a lot of tours in a lot of countries but this had to be the best. JB walking tour is a must! You learn so much history about the Presidio and JB knows so many stories and interesting facts about the people who called the Presidio their home. I cannot say enough good things about the tour. I am having the rest of my family make sure they book this tour when they come to visit San Francisco.

Great Presidio Tour - Julie is an excellent guide: knowledgeable and very personable. She explains all about the history of the Presidio, management structure and architectural details. She used to work there and now lives in housing in the Presidio. A wonderful way to spend 2 hours.

Great fun. Even though the Presidio is in our backyard, we learned many new and fun facts. - I booked a four hour Presidio tour with JB Walking Tours in celebration of my husband’s birthday. We are locals and invited friends to join us. Julie is fun and knowledgeable. She surveyed our group and targeted the discussion towards our interests and knowledge level. She has a good sense of time and kept the group moving so were able to complete the tour without feeling rushed. I would recommend her tour to locals and visitors. All in all, it was a great way to spend the afternoon. Thank you Julie!

JB Walking Tours a true SF gem! - Julie was not only knowledgeable about the Presidio, but she was enthusiastic and spent time answering everyone’s questions. She also allowed us time to take in not only the sights, but the history and anecdotes she was sharing. Julie clearly loves her job, and that shone through during our tour! She never made us feel rushed during our time with her, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Knowledgeable Tour Guide - JB knows a lot about the Presidio Trust since she worked for them. It’s a beautiful area with lots of history. Make sure to see the grave of the union spy in the cemetary.
