Description
Have a Moment at the Building That Started It All
Meet your guide in front of the Misión San Francisco de Asís. Established in 1776, the Mission has been a witness to all of San Francisco’s history including the California Gold Rush and the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
View Art That Has a Social Justice Story to Tell
Take time to pause and contemplate the Clarion Alley Mural Project, established by a volunteer collective of resident artists using public art as a force for marginalized communities and social justice causes. The project has produced over 700 murals by artists of all ethnicities, ages, and levels of experience.
Enjoy Seriously Authentic Mission District Tacos
We’ve got the answer to growing hunger pangs, the home of the Mission-style burrito–Taqueria La Cumbre. Sit down to a plate of their tacos and a virgin margarita, both highly praised by locals (and Anthony Bourdain!). Fun fact: Classic Latin-Rock Santana once worked at La Cumbre!
Taste Award-winning, Locally Made Chocolate
Next up is Dandelion Chocolate, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the Mission District. Learn how their chocolate artists roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, conch, and temper small batches, then mold bars by hand. Before leaving, enjoy a Brownie Bite Flight featuring different chocolates.
Reflect on the Strength and Beauty of the MaestraPeace
Prepare yourself for The Women’s Building, a Mission District institution, that has helped thousands of women gain access to social services, workshops, wellness classes, and community connections. The building’s MaestraPeace mural is a testament to the courageous contributions of women through time.
Wrap Your Fingers Around a Waffle Cone and Chill
Ready for some hand-made happiness? We’ll take a short walk to Bi-Rite Creamery, famous for intensely flavored, organic and sustainable ice creams. No matter what flavor you choose, it features locally-sourced ingredients, seasonal fruits and handmade inclusions.
After taking in this remarkable place, your guide will lead you to nearby Dolores Park to enjoy your frozen treat. The tour ends here, but you can linger as long as you like taking in the city view and relaxing with locals on the grassy lawn.
