Your San Francisco walking tour begins at Vesuvio Cafe, the birthplace of beat poetry. The bar has seen its share of celebrity patrons, including author Jack Kerouac and beat poet Neal Cassady. While there, you will get to sample Anchor Steam Ale, a popular beer that's been brewed in San Fran since 1896. After your tasting, you will stroll through North Beach. Considered San Francisco's "Little Italy", the neighborhood has come a long way. The area was once a landfill and has since transformed into a vibrant community that gave birth to the Beat Generation and other popular cultural movements.

Some of the pubs and cafes you'll visit include one of the city's oldest watering holes, a karaoke bar, and a traditional Italian cafe. Your San Francisco pub tour ends at Washington Square, a public park surrounded by even more restaurants and bars to explore after your guided adventure. If you need suggestions for post-tour dining or activities, your expert guide will gladly offer you some suggestions. Reserve your spot on this laid-back San Francisco tour for a gastronomically good time.
