Precita Eyes Muralists — Attraction in San Francisco

Learned about the Classic Mission Mural walking tour with Precita Eyes on 7x7. It’s $15 for SF residents, $20 general admission. Need to show proof of residency for the special rate. The tour is about 2 hours long. First hour consist of an indoor slide show where the tour guide provides for a brief history about the art of murals. The second hour, you take a walk down Balmy Street and around the neighborhood to see and listen to stories behind the murals paintings.

It's a little pricey but well worth it if you're looking to support your local artists. This is also an interesting spot for postcards. Postcards are kind of scarce in the city so I like to make sure and point out places that have them. I didn't get a chance to talk to any of the workers or artists that were working in the back but all in all the atmosphere was welcoming and warm; a true testament to SF artwork and the...
