Professional tour guide and city Insider, Brad Prickett, hosts you on a tour of San Francisco. GPS-activated audio plays automatically on your phone as you learn the colourful history and see the top attractions along San Francisco’s waterfront and across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

This tour takes you along to visit many of San Francisco’s must-see places while you are in control behind the wheel of our own vehicle. The audio tour’s auto-play feature tells you the stories behind the attractions as you experience them.

Activated by your GPS location, you'll hear about the gold rush founders, scandalous Samuel Brannan, innovator Levi Strauss, Alcatraz escape attempts, Fort Point soldiers and Al Zampa of the Half-way to Hell club.
