[CANCELLED] Financial District Architectural Walking Tour

This tour has been cancelled.

Meet at Mechanics' Institute, 4th Floor meeting room.

Experience the city from a unique perspective! Veteran tour leader Rick Evans will take you on a memorable two-hour walking expedition of the Financial District. Discover the architectural beauty of landmark buildings, hard-to-find rooftop gardens, and unique open spaces that you've probably never noticed! The tour will meet in the 4th floor Meeting Room of the Mechanics' Institute and end South of Market.

The tour is not a difficult walk - no hills to climb (but there are some steep stairs that may be encountered). We actually only go about 4 blocks from the Mechanics' Institute (but note that at many of the stops on the tour we will be standing for up to ten minutes at one time with no seating available) Good shoes are recommended and best to always dress warmly because of the always changing San Francisco weather.

The tour is presented in a "lecture style", so there is actually more standing than walking (warning: anyone with a short attention span, this may not be the best tour for you).
