Rooftop gardens open to the public? Waterfalls in Downtown San Francisco? Yes, to both! 1% of the funds spent on any private building in San Francisco must go toward public spaces. Sometimes this is an art exhibit in the lobby BUT sometimes it’s a waterfall (10 along our route) or a rooftop garden (with a great view). Many are unknown to the general public. Join your guide, “On The Level” Marilyn Straka, for a mile-long walking tour of downtown San Francisco to see these hidden treasures.
2.5 hour walking tour of San Francisco's rooftop gardens and waterfalls. For more than four people, it's $25 a person. Please message for large parties.
Ms. Straka has had a successful and varied 30-year career in computers. While continuing to work fulltime, ten years ago Ms. Straka embarked on a second career. She was able to take her organizational and project management skills and apply them to her passion: enriching the lives of seniors and the disabled. She has created a small independently-owned business called On The Level San Francisco. This is a walking tour company featuring "San Francisco Without the Hills". She leads guided walks, presents ‘virtual’ tours through slide shows and has also published seven self-guided walks featuring intriguing neighborhoods and parks. All routes are accessible for walkers and wheelchairs with no hills or steps. Her award winning walks have claimed national media attention. While her walks appeal to people with a variety of interests and abilities (including a new offering of stairway walks!), her immediate goal is to make older adults and the disabled community aware of her walks.
