We LOVED our tour of the Castro! My husband and I were in SF for the first part of our honeymoon and this was one of our outings. We really enjoyed our guide, he was funny and entertaining and had some great stories. We really enjoyed learning more about "our" history in a fun way. The tour overall was just great, lots of fun, laughs, trivia, and so on. It was nice that our group was diverse too, it helped make the experience and I could see how it would be great exposure for folks who aren't exposed to the culture much or at all. I would highly recommend it to anyone local or visiting.

Time well spent...

Our well informed guide took us through the vibrant Castro district and through its amazing history. Our group was an eclectic and fun mix of straight, gay, single and coupled. I believe everyone came away learning a few things and feeling their time and money were well spent. No matter where you are on life's journey, "Come Out to the Castro" is a journey you should take!

Improved our experience of San Francisco

My partner and I visited San Francisco for the first time just a couple of days ago. Our experience of the city was not particularly great and we were a bit disillusioned by it. Doing the Castro tour really turned out trip around. Kim, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and really put the area's history into perspective, which allowed my partner and I to really appreciate the significance of the Castro and of San Francisco in the context of LGBT history. Also, note being able to make one of the regularly scheduled tours, they were able to accommodate our schedule and allowed us to book a tour on a day they don't normally have the tour. We highly recommend this tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Castro district. Our tour guide, Kim, was extremely knowledgeable and made sure to remember the names of all tour participants and kept them included and engaged. I will highly recommend this tour to friends both living in and visiting SF. Thanks for such a fun afternoon!

Uncensored Castro Guided Walk

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour w/ Kim. He was a wealth of information and his energy was infectious. We have visited San Francisco many times and know the Castro Area quite well, however Kim's guided tour provided us w/ historical information we had not known. We would suggest this tour for any travelers interested in learning about this neighborhood w/ both eyes open! Bill and Jay

Our tour guide Kim had good energy. The tour touched on many aspects: history, recommendations on things-to-do, civil rights and activism. We had a good time despite the rain.

Filled with tidbits of history, games and fun, this tour is perfect for the novice 'Castro-ite' along with those familiar with the area. My husband and I learned many things, and even discovered new places on the tour, and we have visited the Castro many times through the years. Highly recommended!
