Fisherman's Wharf Tour

Free Tours by Foot San Francisco presents the Fisherman's Wharf Walking Tour. Don't miss out exploring what San Francisco has to offer!

In its early days, San Francisco was the West Coast hub of fishing and shipping. When the city was growing up, hundreds of fishermen would gather at Fisherman’s Wharf in the morning, earn their day’s catch, and meet back here in the evening. These days, the Wharf has turned into one of the most highly visited spots in San Francisco.

As you take this Fisherman's Wharf walking tour, we will see Ghirardelli Square, home of the legendary chocolate maker, the world famous San Francisco cable car, and we’ll get a behind-the-scenes look into how Fisherman’s Wharf really operates.

In addition, you'll see numerous other great sights including:

  • Ghirardelli Square, home of the legendary chocolate maker
  • A great behind-the-scenes look into the historic Wharf where Italian fishermen operated (and still do!)
  • The world famous San Francisco cable car
  • The Balclutha, an 1800s-era clipper ship famous for appearing in the movie Mutiny on the Bounty
  • The place to find the best San Francisco clam chowder!

and much more!
