History

After the publication of our photography book, San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons, we were asked to conduct custom neon tours by historical, architectural, and graphic design groups. Now we offer those tours to the public in neighborhoods all over San Francisco to celebrate the city's fabulous collection of vintage neon signs.

Specialties

Spend an evening under the neon glow with SF Neon authors and tour guides Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan. Tours feature local history with architectural and graphic design insights to San Francisco's unique legacy of surviving neon signs. Photography and a lively Q&A are encouraged. Be prepared to walk 2 miles for 1.5 hours, with rest stops. Winter tours start at 4:30pm.
