| Izu was great! Although she was in a wheel chair due to an injury, she was incredibly enthusiastic. She had a great first hand knowledge of the neighbourhood and a keen interest in it's continued evolution.
She was very funny, warm & welcoming, giving us a true sense of what a "dyed in the wool hippie" was and still is.
Thank you Izu, Ecko and especially thank you Benny! My new little friend who wouldn't last 5 mins in cold Canada!

| If you are thinking about taking this tour, stop thinking and just book it! It was one of the best tours I have ever done, and when considering how inexpensive the tour is, it's really remarkable! The tour guide Izu was phenomenal and unforgettable and meeting the owner of the tour Pam was a real treat as well. This tour couldn't come more highly recommended. These are wonderful people and a wonderful tour. |

| I took my 19 year old son and 18 year old nephew with me on this tour. Izu was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. The boys and I both loved the tour and Izu. I definitely recommend this if you are going to S.F. It was a lot of fun. |

| As a local, I learnt many interesting and fun facts about my own neighborhood, and it wasn't just about the Summer of love and Jerry Garcia. It was time very well spent. The guide, Izu, was fascinating, very knowledgeable and very interesting. She has a unique and wonderful personality. |

| This walking tour is very highly recommended. Our guide, Izu, was just wonderful & was very much a part of the tour experience with her terrific enthusiasm & great knowledge about the Haight & it's history.
The best part of the tour was that is covered the most important parts of the area's history from musical, cultural & architectural perspectives. The trip to the Hippee Musuem was just great!
If you go to San Francisco & have any interest at all in the 60's then you just have to do this tour - it is a great 3 hours!

| the walk was short but there's a lot to be told. there were several memorable buildings in the hippie years & are still standing. I liked the end where we walked through Haight street & the museum. the rest of the time, Imu (sp?) talked a lot about the hippie's music history. if you have 2.5 hours to spare, its pretty interesting. |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Flower Power tour. Our guide--Stan--was quite knowledgable about the Haight-Ashbury district and the "Summer of Love." Being of an age where we remember the 60's quite vividly, the tour was quite meaningful for us. Indeed, it was three hours well-spent!

| Was with my mother-in-law and a friend from the UK, who is a huge fan of music history. . .we thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Stan, who taught us more than we knew before about San Francisco history, the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, and the musicians and people who populated these streets from the 1960's to present. We met up with friends who are natives of the S.F. area the next night for dinner, and they commented, "wow, we've been living here for years and you sound like you learned more about the area than we ever have!"
So that is a huge compliment to our guide, who was entertaining as well as informative as we strolled the streets of the Haight for 2 1/2 hours. The $20 for the ticket was money well-spent!! |
