Jay Bee L.

Community Planner, Economist, and Journalist by schooling, I make my living in public policy, natural resources management, and city planning.

My interests include San Francisco's rich alternative arts scene and sampling its seriously-good culinary and imbibing offerings.

My musical tastes are all over the map but tend to lean toward jazz, country, rock, and electonica.

When I'm not in the city I'm likely to be hiking nearby in the Bay Area or backpacking the Sierras.

I have completed a rigorous training program on San Francisco's history, culture, and architecture in order to gain docenting and tour guide credentials for the Bay Area's premier preservation society. I have been with this preservation society in a volunteer capacity since 2004 and served a term on its volunteer advisory committee.

Jen L. for Gonzo Tour of Pac Heights SF

Jaybee is the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of architecture, history, preservation and current events mixed in with good humor, generosity, and patience provides a glimpse into the elegant, upscale, and richly historical neighborhood of Pacific Heights in San Francisco. If you want to have some fun and learn while visiting SF, try Jaybee's tour. Smiles all around.

Lynn T. for Gonzo Tour of Pac Heights SF

I took the tour with Jaybee last weekend and it was a great tour! we walked all around Pac Heights and I learned so much about both architecture and history. I highly recommend Jaybee's tour.

June L. for Gonzo Tour of Pac Heights SF

The Pac Heights architecture tour was super fun and informative. We learned about different styles that are prevalent in San Francisco - Queen Anne, Victorian, Edwardian, SF Stick Style, and so forth. Jaybee is a vault of knowledge about anecdotes and is a stickler for elegance, beauty, and preservation. We even went into an open house to see the interior of one of the buildings!
