About the Tour

Stroll along the famous Fisherman's Wharf where we'll enjoy great sightlines of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. There's shopping, seals, seafood, ships and more, but this is no mere tourist area. Fisherman’s Wharf is not even just an eternal gateway to the Pacific Ocean – it’s a portal into life’s wonderment.

From Pier 33 and the Alcatraz ferry, we'll walk through Pier 39 with its fabulous stores and sights of the bay area. We'll play games in an antique arcade, step aboard World War II ships and dine on some of the best sidewalk seafood and sourdough bread in the world. Good thing we're walking, because you'll need to build up an appetite for delicious shrimp and crabs right off the boats. Come on - let's go have a memorable day.

I'm a native Washingtonian who's a lifelong journalist and third-generation tour guide. And oh, I'm related to Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth and co-conspirator Mary Surratt. You'll hear the inside stories when touring Washington with me. Besides the Lincoln assassination, my tours include Lafayette Park by the White House, Kennedy homes in Georgetown, Embassy Row, White House ghost stories, Presidential drinking stories and nearby Old Town Alexandria plus Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, my favorite place in the world.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
