A few questions are in order: Do you believe San Francisco Bay Region history is evidenced by its architecture and public art? Would you prefer an individualized excursion that gets off the beaten track? Is conversation more to your liking than scripted monologue? Do you prefer to avoid the tour bus, van and limosine? If so, you are invited to consider the VLN Excursions and select an itinerary built around the extant works of an important Bay Area architect. Alternatively, you might build your own itinerary, either from the works of these architects, or from the listings for 19th and 20th century Bay Area architecture and public art.
