San Francisco: Sightseeing Tours
San Francisco has a long and rich heritage, going back to its foundation in 1776 by Spanish settlers, when it was still named “Yerba Buena”. Renamed “San Francisco” after Saint Francis of Assisi in 1846, its development is marked by several major events. These include the 1848 Gold Rush, the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, and the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
