๐Ÿ’Ž Take a Walk on the Historic Side โ€“ Back by Popular Demand! ๐Ÿ’Ž
Join Architect Martin Bernstein for another fun and fascinating 1.5-hour architectural walking tour through historic Pacific Heights, San Francisco.

Titled โ€œI Never Noticed That Before,โ€ this engaging tour invites you to slow down, look up, and discover the hidden gems tucked into the neighborhoodโ€™s elegant homes and storied streets. Expect captivating insights, a few surprises, and maybe even a dash of local gossip along the way!

๐Ÿ“ Starting Point: 2040 Franklin Street (corner of Franklin & Jackson)
๐Ÿ•œ Starting Time: 1:30 PM sharp โ€” please arrive a few minutes early so we can begin on time.

Whether youโ€™re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for a fresh way to explore the city, this tour promises plenty of โ€œaha!โ€ moments and a delightful afternoon of discovery.

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ COST: The Walking Tour is FREE, but we are supported almost entirely by walker donations. At the end of the tour, you will be given the opportunity to make a suggested $20* cash donation or to donate via Zelle to: martinbernstein617@gmail.com.
