Walking Tour of Nob Hill - Cable Cars, Luxury Hotels, French-Gothic Cathedral

When Robert Louis Stevenson visited San Francisco in 1879, he declared, "Nob Hill, the Hill of Palaces, must certainly be counted the best part of San Francisco. It is here that millionaires gathered together, vying with each other in display". My Nob Hill tour is a 2-hour walking photo-shoot tour that starts with a Cable Car ride and a visit to a French Gothic Cathedral and ends at the Top of the Mark on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel for photographs and beverages at sunset.

The eclectic history of Nob Hill includes:

• The Gold Rush (not the San Francisco 49r cheerleaders)
• The Silver Bonanza (not including Ben Cartwright, Ben, Hoss or Little Joe)
• The Transcontinental Railroad
• The 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and
• A spectacular French-Gothic design Episcopal Cathedral that took nearly 40 years to build.

The opportunities for photography are endless on Nob Hill!
