Learn More, See More, Do More….. for Free

By Aly Baker, Bloomers Publicity

Itseems like the price of everything has gone up, up, up over the past few years – but if you look around there is plenty to enjoy all summer long, that is FREE.

Below is a short list of things to see and do that are not only free – but will help you learn more about the area and culture in which you live. Can’t beat that combo.

City Guides volunteers are serious about sharing the fun of discovering San Francisco and its neighborhoods. The SF City Guides offers many tours each day. You can learn about Alfred Hitchcock’s San Francisco, the impact of the 1906 earthquake or the famed architecture of Billionaires Row. Visit https://sfcityguides.org/ to find dozens of tours that are provided absolutely free.
