| Our tour guide Izu was fantastic. She was passionate about the culture and the history. It brought back many moments in history for us that meant alot more by being there. I am 59 and my husband is 42 and we both enjoyed every minute. There was a man and his teenage son in our group too and he saw some of the stuff his Dad had been talking about for years. We even went over in the time the tour was supposed to be but we were ready for more. We stayed in the area after the tour and tried a recommendation by Izu for lunch and it was a wonderful experience. We had so much fun. I would recommend this to anyone that is a hippy, knows a hippy, wants to be a hippy, was a hippy or just loves that era or enjoys the history of the area. |

| My girlfriend and I almost didn't wake up for the tour, but decided to at the last minute! We are so happy we did! Eizu was wonderful! She was friendly, so knowledgeable and was a wonderful representative for the Haight-Ashbury community. I especially liked that she never lost her cool and was respectful when one of the homeless people gave his own input on the tour!
If you can go with a smaller group during a weekday, I reccommend doing that like us BUT the experience is wonderful either way I'm sure!!!
Thanks Eizu! |

| As a mainstream suburbanite, about 10 years junior to the hippy generation, I (dragging along dear husband) had a very enlightening tour led by a former (or maybe still present) flower child named Eisu (Susie spelled backwards, drop the "S"). Eisu really knew her stuff and was very passionate about it-both past and present issues, having had firsthand experience. Plus she was amusing. I have always liked the music created during the time, and it was great to learn more of the culture. I once had a friend who as a teen runaway lived in a commune in one of the abandoned Victorian buildings (today probably worth millions and occupied by a different kind of hippy--high income person) and had been so intrigued by what her life was like here, that it was a deciding factor on taking this tour. Also I learned the meaning of 4:20, later texted my college-student daughter on whether she knew. Of course she did, as she is not the little prude I was in college. |

| IF you want a taste of SF history and a real account of the going ons of the late 60s and 70s, this is the tour for you!
We met Izu on the corner of Waller and Stanyan where the magic begin. She lead us through the Haight Ashbury neighborhood on foot, while sharing early history up to the 60's and 70's! We met the neighbors, original residents of the hood as well as some local artists who were currently working on public works of art. Why this tour? I am a native of San Francisco and had a friend in town from Altlanta. What better way to spend 2.5 hours? I could not have come close to sharing what little documentary knowledge I had and we had a blast with Izu. Her witty sense of humor and personal accounts of her experience made this my all time favorite SF tour and would recommend it to anyone who would like a little something different. We finished the tour and then grabbed a bite to eat at one of her recommendations. A+!!! |
