Cruisin’ the Castro Walking Tours

Why it matters: Cruisin’ the Castro has been women-owned and operated since 1989, one of the longest-running walking tours of San Francisco’s most storied LGBTQ neighborhood. Guides are local residents and civil rights advocates who walk you through the historical, diverse and colorful sites that made the Castro a center of the movement. Tours can be customized for private groups, so reach out ahead if you have a particular interest.
