Itinerary
We’ll visit legendary rock and roll venue, The Matrix Club, where Santana, the Doors, and Jefferson Airplane recorded some of their most legendary live sets. I’ll share some stories from the 60's and 70's when this psychedelic chateau was in its prime.
Down the road, beauty boutiques, top-class cafés, and artisan storefronts give the Victorian scenery of Union Street a new pulse. We’ll visit landmarks like the funky eight-sided Octagon House before ascending to the posh Pacific Heights district.
Enjoy the fresh air and waterfront view at Lyon Steps before descending through spiraling gardens and sharp hedges to the Presidio. Here, we can learn about war history (and Star Wars history) near the Lucasfilm Campus.
Our last stop is the lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts, where Greco-Roman columns and rotundas are twice as nice in the reflective pond. See if you can spot any turtles, fish, or swans before we end our adventure along Chestnut street.
