Event Details
On our Notorious SF: Scandal & Crime tour we visit the sites of old Hollywood scandals, red light districts, opium dens, gang violence, Gold Rush era lynchings and kidnappings – and enjoy cocktails in one or two historic bars.
We start with the Fatty Arbuckle affair at the St Francis Hotel, a huge scandal that changed the public's perception of celebrity forever.
Then we walk down Maiden Lane, which is lined with designer boutiques now - but a hundred years ago was the city's main red light district. After that we visit Chinatown, which was the site of opium dens and other criminal activity in days gone by.
Next you'll learn about Gold Rush era SF, as things got so out of control that public lynchings were held on Portsmouth Square. Then we dive down to Barbary Coast San Francisco, with its brothels and dance halls - and shanghaiing. During the tour we stop at a couple of historic bars, so guests have the chance to get a drink. We finish the Notorious SF: Scandal & Crime Tour at the oldest continuously operating bar in San Francisco, the Old Ship Saloon, which dates all the way back to the 1850's.
Our tours can sell out. If you can't make a booking email info@realsanfranciscotours.com, telling us when you want to go and how many guests are in your party. If we can squeeze you in we’ll let you know.
