Tours of the Tales

Welcome to Tours of the Tales!

This website is the result of a ten year endeavor to share with fellow fans of Armistead Maupin an organized way to visit the locales in the San Francisco Bay Area (and some further beyond) featured in his books.

Most of the tours, particularly those within
San Francisco, are walking tours.  Those further afield will require a car.

Each of the tours is in PDF format and is easily downloaded to a computer and printed.  Consider downloading the tours to a tablet or to your computer and then transferring them to your Kindle, Nook, or similar device for ease in carrying and accessing the tours.


All tours now include a hyperlink to the Google Map for that tour.  This is not only helpful for those actually walking the tours, but also those "walking the tours on-line".


From time to time, the tours will be updated.  Periodically, more tours will be added, so check back. 


Enjoy!

If you're going to San Francisco, don't just wear a flower in your hair...wear a jacket if it's summer.
