If you’d like to experience ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in a different way, Presidio San AgustÃn del ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Museum has new walking tour options to help get the job done.
The Modern Streetcar & Walking Tour allows attendees to ride the streetcar, getting on and off at various points to explore the history and culture of the area with the help of a guide.
The February tour is sold out. The March 5 event is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and costs $40 per person.
If you’re looking for a more creative angle, there’s Murals & More + Margaritas tour. Explore the blend of art, culture and history through the murals in the Fourth Avenue district. The tour, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 25, will wrap up with a margarita at Corbett’s. Food will be available for an additional fee.
The cost is $46 per person, which includes the drink. For $30 per person, you can do the tour without the margarita tasting on the same day from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
