Public Library City Guides Walking Tours offer a chance to explore San Francisco's beautiful sites and historic and modern landmarks as part of regularly-scheduled guided walking tours offered by the city's public library system. Tours are led by volunteer docents and last approximately 90 minutes to two hours, exploring a variety of the city's biggest attractions as part of themed guided excursions. Tour themes held regularly include sites connected to the 1848 California Gold Rush and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, downtown Art Deco sites, and sites connected to the city's motion picture history, along with excursions through popular neighborhoods, parks, monuments, and beachfront sites. Tours operate rain or shine, with private tour options available for groups of eight or more. Though tours are free, donations are strongly encouraged to aid with tour operation costs and recognize the work of tour guides.
