The Vampire Tour of San Francisco was awarded The Bay Guardian's "Best of the Bay" award in 2003 and again in 2007! Mina Harker (Kitty Burns) was also awarded the 2005 Individual Donor Diamond Award by ARTshare in San Mateo, CA for charitable contributions made by The Vampire Tour of SF.
Become a member of the Drac Pack! Explore the Gothic side of Nob Hill with your Host, Mina Harker, Vampress who was made by Count Dracula in London in 1897 and banished by him to the United States. Mina has resided on and under the streets of San Francisco for over 100 years. Hear her story, and learn how Vampires have played an important part in the shaping of San Francisco as we know it today. Don't worry. We do not go underground or to any stops that are seriously gothic or dark. This is a fun, light hearted tour for the Undead or prospective Undead with a sense of humor! If rain is predicted for the evening, please call ahead to see if the tour will be conducted that night. Every night a fun vampire prize is raffled off before the tour starts so don't be late! When you're not on the tour, you can hear more howling on 95.7 THE WOLF!!!

Private tours can also be arranged for groups of 5 or more on any other night or weekend days for a rate of $25.00 per person. Private tours must be paid in advance. Meet Mina on the corner of California and Taylor Streets, just outside Huntington Park. You will visit Grace Cathedral, The Nob Hill Cafe, Huntington Park, The Pacific-Union Club, The Fairmont Hotel, and The Mark Hopkins Hotel. Mina will tell you the history of each of these stops, and how Vampires played a role in that history. You might call it, "History with a Twist." Nob Hill can get very chilly, so please wear warm clothes. When Mark Twain said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco," he wasn't kidding! The winters are just as cold, so please dress for very cold weather. Also, since this is a walking tour, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Disclaimer: Please walk carefully.
