 This Private Tour of Castro and Mission will introduce you to the city’s hippest neighborhoods, notable for their LGBTQ community and cool, artsy vibe. In the Castro, learn about the extraordinary accomplishments of SF residents in halting demolition, stopping four-lane freeways, and affecting positive change in feminism, peace, and LGBTQ rights. The neighborhood’s many spirited LGBTQ bars range from brewpubs and bustling dives to ritzy drag shows. 

 You will hear how, today, America has elected more than 500 LGBTQ politicians into public office - from city council members, mayors, and members of Congress to state legislators and governors - yet, 40 years ago, the tally was just a handful of gay men and lesbians, of which Harvey Milk was one. On the Private Tour of Castro and Mission, explore Milk’s Ground Zero and immerse yourself in the legacy of California’s first openly gay elected official - and the role Castro played. 

 In the Mission District, you will venture down Clarion Alley and see the fabulous urban graffiti and satirical political street art as you stroll in the footsteps of feminists, Latinos, artists, and activists who continue to fight for the soul of San Francisco. Pop into the Mission Dolores to see the oldest building in San Francisco, along with shrubbery and a garden reflective of the mission in the early 1790s. 

 With a buzzing cultural mix and sizzling street food, Mission is famous for its galleries, neon-lit clubs, and basement bars and is blessed with the leafy greenery of picturesque Dolores Park.
