Beautiful tour of Grace - Went to Grace with a group of friends for a tour and to see the holiday lights on Nob Hill. Our tour was held by Eden and he did such a great job. Hit the highlights and historically important artifacts. What a beautiful cathedral that so represents the diversity and inclusivity of San Francisco. Highlight was the interfaith AIDS chapel. Eden really spoke to its importance to him which really added to our experience. Highly recommend.

Great tour - Eden is a terrific guide! - We absolutely loved the tour - it was informative not only about Grace Cathedral but also how it fit into the history of San Francisco. Our tour guide was Eden, and he was terrific. I learned a ton and enjoyed every minute of it!

Eden is best guide! - Today’s tour of Grace Cathedral, given by Eden, was so informative that I came home and retold all the details that I could remember to my family. Now I want to do the behind the scenes tour. So illuminating. Thank you.

Ask For ‘Eden’ For Grace Cathedral Tour - ‘Eden’ was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable and with very good diction. His enthusiasm was intoxicating! The cathedral building and history made us want to do outside research.

A must-see gem in the City - Such a beautiful cathedral, built to look Gothic after the fire destroyed the original, full of art and many symbolic details from the past to our days... However, without the superb guide I was lucky to have all to myself, I could have missed some of it. A very special place and a must see in this wonderful city... All the staff were pleasant and helpful.

Even my atheist teenager was charmed. - When my teenager came back from our trip to San Francisco, the thing that he keeps mentioning is our behind-the-scenes tour at Grace Cathedral. The guide was full of fascinating details that engaged a somewhat difficult teenager and connected with so many things that both of us were interested in. Our planned tour of the cathedral was definitely the activity that my teenager was least excited about, but it was really terrific and the art was fantastic and it was so interesting to see places that the normal tours and congregation would never get to see.
