| Stan proved the perfect host. Passionately and personally involved with his subject, his stories and insights brought the 60s and the local art and architectural scene very much to life. A nearly voyeur perspective was achieved. You end feeling as though you lived the times long gone with characters who gave voice to the period. It might be of help for younger visitors to get some perspective from books or older folks to gain the most from the rapid fire barage of information. Lots of nuggets just kept flying by. Don't be afraid to keep at the front of the group so as not to miss any details. A real treat from a real and proud Haight resident of long standing.

| We injoyed the Haight-Ashbury tour Immensely. Our guide was a long time resident of the neighborhood and offered many "insider" tidbits to our tour. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to visit a house and learn about some local characters and business owners. |

| This was one of the highlights of our trip. Isu, the tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. It brought back lots of memories about that special time in our lives and the Summer of Love back in the late 60's. She told tale after tale about the happenings in "the Haight", about Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix, and lots about the history of the area from the 1800's. She has an unbelievable memory and is a superb story teller. I would recommend this tour to everyone. We're still talking about it! |

| everybody heard about the summer of love in 1967!
here you will find all the information about the musicans that lived here,
about the community that tried to make a better world,
about the intellectual background and the message of the hippie movement,
about local celebrities and their worldwide importance,
and of course you will hear funny details such as the "dirty food" from Magnolia Thunderpussy.
So if you are interested in the summer of love this walk is a must, because nowhere else you will get this informations. |

| The Haight- Ashbury Tour my husband , two young-adult children and I took was one of the highlights of our family vacation. We had a blast! The tour guide, Izu (sp?) was terrific and full of information with a most ingaging style. I would recommend this tour to any one interested in the Haight and what happened there in the past as well as what is going on there now. |

| I went as the mother of a teenager who is really into music and was apprehensive about the whole Haight-Ashbury scene in general. What I found was a wonderful tour guide who was - although not a native - had lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years and brought real life experience to the tour. I would definitely reccommend this tour to anyone visiting San Francisco, especially if Izu is the guide! |

| Our "Greatful Dead" groupie tour leader was outstanding. I have already recommended the tour to 4 people at our B&B. It is more than advertised. If I were to make a recommendation to improve the tour, a little more on Jefferson Airplane would have been nice. But this is just a quibble in the total scope of the tour. |
