UPDATE: WE’RE SOLD OUT FOR THE TOUR! THANKS.
Our trolley tour is back on track, with a nautical theme this time!
Market Street Railway and San Francisco City Guides are again collaborating on a memorable vintage streetcar ride along Muni’s historic F-line on Sunday, October 23 from 1-3pm. This extra special history tour in the fabulous open-top “Boat Tram*” (Blackpool, England, Car No. 228) offers a fresh-air view of the sights and sounds along the F-line on Market Street and The Embarcadero. The tour follows the F-line, beginning and ending at our San Francisco Railway Museum at 77 Steuart Street just opposite the Embarcadero from the landmark Ferry Building.
Join tour guides Harlan Hirschfeld from City Guides and Mike Frew from Market Street Railway for their informative cruise along the F-line where you will learn interesting historical facts about famous Fisherman’s Wharf, traditional North Beach, the scenic Embarcadero and colorful Ferry Plaza, the busy financial district, world famous Powell & Market, classic Civic Center, imposing Mint Hill and the lively Castro.
Sign up today for $30 per person. All proceeds go to support Market Street Railway and City Guides in their work to keep San Francisco’s transit history alive. Please note that your ticket purchase provides the funds required to charter the streetcar from Muni, so all ticket sales must be final. Only 44 spaces on the tour, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. (Our last tour sold out!)
