Highlights
This walk through the heart of the Presidio will bring you closer to understanding its history and the role it played in the founding of San Francisco. Your guide is a resident of the Presidio with an insider's view of this national park! As both a current resident and former general manager of the Presidio Officers' Club, my unique perspective allows me to tell you about the park as only an insider can.
If you are staying at the Inn or Lodge at the Presidio, this is a great way to begin your visit and give yourself an introduction to this beautiful location!
