Hi there! Nice to meet you

Part time work has allowed me to get to know San Francisco deeply and share my beautiful city with out of town guests often. I love all that there is to explore in and around Golden Gate Park, the Richmond neighborhood with East European and Asian shops & restaurants (Burmese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Polish, etc), the eclectic & unique shops and records stores in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, the historically Black neighborhood of the Fillmore with great food and jazz clubs like Yoshi's, upper Fillmore with its ice cream, food, & shops, walking in Presidio Park through Andy Goldsworthy’s nature trail to get to the Palace of Fine Arts, the beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay, the garden at Fort Mason, the stunning views and murals all over San Francisco, there’s sooo much to explore & share in San Francisco!

More about me? I moved to the Bay Area in 2006 and have worked part-time for San Francisco Public Library for over 16 years. I am also a Print Graphic Designer and Professional Street Dance Performance Artist, performing for a wide variety of events & venues as Artistic Director of IRON LOTUS Street Dance Company, and for Circosphere and Catalyst Arts.

I came to the West Coast when I was 1 years old with my Polish family in 1986, and I have enjoyed travelling ever since!

Agatha was terrific...very accommodating when we changed dates to Christmas eve and very knowledgeable about her neighborhood and the area where we were staying. We walked almost five miles and saw some very interesting and lovely parts of San Francisco. She is bright, engaging and fun. She had to leave a bit early and we would have liked to try out a local cafe for coffee or tea...but we'll leave that until next time.San Francisco through the eyes of Agatha

I did the Presidio Park to Palace of Fine Arts & the Beach Tour with Agatha and thoroughly enjoyed the variety and beauty of the sights on this tour. The pace of the tour was comfortable and the route was well organized. This was beyond the basic San Francisco tour that took us to areas we would have never come across on our own. Particularly loved the Palace of Fine Arts. Agatha has a lot of great insights and knowledge of San Francisco and was a fantastic guide. She is very kind and personable. Beautiful and Interesting Tour

Agatha was a friendly, considerate, kind and knowledgeable guide. We explored several new areas of SF that we had not before and she was intuitive enough to know when to break for water and the loo, what with our kids in tow. Ultimately, a great walk, good impressions, imbued history and exercise. Highly recommended.Delightful SF Walking Tour with Family

Agatha was full of surprises! She has so much knowledge of the San Francisco area and walked us all through Golden Gate Park, through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood recommending places to eat, as well as unique locations, like Amoeba records. We also learned about Popping, Hip Hip and other street dance genres. She provided us with details on lots of other areas of the city, as well as guidance that got us to the top of the most photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge! Thanks for the terrific tour! San Francisco's Beautiful Golden Gate Park Private Tour with Agatha
