Eight different routes are offered, including areas in Old Oakland, Chinatown, and the city's waterfront neighborhood.
It's a tour that organizers hope will slow down the effects of gentrification in Oakland. "I respect people who come in and want to learn something about a place, rather than just come in and say, 'oh, that's wrong. I want to change that,' without even knowing the background of what it is they are changing," Oakland Walking Tours spokesperson Gene Anderson said.
The 90-minute Oakland Walking Tours are free and offered Wednesdays and Saturdays until October.
