The Presidio has been the home to more militaries than almost any other fortress in America and in 1906, it became an oasis for earthquake survivors, housing refugees and becoming a base for rescue efforts. Named a national park in 1996, the Presidio is one of the greenest places in all of San Francisco. Our tour will begin at the Tunnel Tops recreation area with its panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. An optional one-hour guided walk will explore the magnificent park. Those who don’t walk will ride the bus to the newly renovated Officers’ Club. There, the groups will reconvene to explore the heritage center, which highlights the Presidio’s fascinating history. We will enjoy lunch at the Park Chalet on the western edge of Golden Gate Park
