Victorian treasures tour

Your tour will start at the Haight-Ashbury Painted Ladies, a terrace of stunning, colorful houses equally as beautiful as their more famous namesake. Then walk through this historic district and visit the Four Seasons Houses. Hail a robotaxi and drive to Alamo Square.

View the iconic Painted Ladies and walk down past the park to McAllister Street, before walking along this glorious stretch of road with its rows of interesting Victorian houses. Eventually, you will come to the William Westerfield House, one of the city's most ominous looking houses and one with an equally dark history.

After taking another robotaxi to the Pacific Heights district, study the exceptional Haas-Lilienthal House before walking down to one of San Francisco's most quirky houses, the McElroy Octagon House.
