On your Free Essential Tour of San Francisco, you will walk through the historic center of the city: from the famous Union Square, through the colorful Chinatown and to the ferry building in the Pier. In Union Square, the favorite meeting point for locals and the scene of countless social protests, your guide will take you back to the days of the Wild West, miners in search of gold, shady saloons, female dancers, gambling, and fights. After this, the Dragon Gate in the vibrant Chinatown will be the perfect setting to remember how the first Chinese immigrants arrived in the United States precisely through the port of San Francisco, and how the melting pot of cultures that defines contemporary Frisco was born.
