| This was an entertaining and informative trip back to the late sixties and it was great to see where all the well known names like Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Charles Manson hung out. Also incredible to see where the Hells Angels lived - across the street from the Dead!
It was a delight to see that the spirit of the psycadelic 60's is still alive with stories to be told and landmarks to be admired.
Friendly guide Kurt explained that rather than bringing flowers as exhorted by Scott McKenzie, teenagers across america would have been better off bringing medical supplies and footware for the summer of love. |

| The tour was informative, interactive, and interesting. At times, the tour guide seemed a little...all over the place in his descriptions, which made it hard for us to get the whole picture. Overall, he was knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is even remotely interested in the 1960's. |

| Our guide seemed to have done his homework on the era. (He looked like he could have lived through the '60s in Haight Ashbury.) He provided lots of interesting trivia, and most importantly, helped us to understand the political, social and cultural forces that shaped the times. (The music was a nice touch.) The way he involved the participants of the walk was enjoyable. There wasn't as much comedy in his talk as I'd expected, but better that than overloading it with attempts at comedy just for the sake of comedy. I also think it was somewhat overpriced, but it was a worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours. |

| We enjoyed the tour with tour guide, Kurt. The tour was informative & fun at a leisurely pace. Kurt used trivia and games to keep us on our toes. |
