Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour

Very informative and the guide was good. It was clear that he enjoyed his job. Too many points of interest were pointed out and therefore, the tour became longer than anticipated.

The tour guide is a very interesting/funny man (artist) and has a lot to tell about the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and history of SF. The tour "could" last 5 hour because he has so many stories to tell. You can ask questions at any time; I'm sure you will get a detailed answer. Try it!

Ideal mix of local history, interesting locations, and enthusiastic guide. It was great walking through Stan's neighborhood and hearing the history of the area. Out of town guests would really love this walk. Thanks a lot for the experience.

The original tour leader didn't show up but when we called to report this, a replacement tour guide was called. He came around 15 minutes later and he was excellent as he still lives in Haight-Ashbury. His name was Bruce and, if possibe, request his services. I told Bruce that he took a bad situation (nobody showing up) and turned it into an excelent experience. I would strongly recommend this tour!

The tour was a real drag. Our guide showed up almost an hour late, then we got some guy named Bruce who goes by Mr. Hippy. He grew up in San Francisco and lived through the flower power era and, alas, 75 percent of everything he told us revolved around his life at the time. A little bit of that would have been fine but I got tired of his life history, and of his political insertions about his stances on pro medical marijuana and how the Manson murders were used by the establishment to show a consipiracy to defame the hippies. Great, if they'd been couched as "what some people think" but they were all couched from his own frame of reference. We stopped by his house so someone could use the bathroom but ended up stuck there for an hour while he showed us all pictures on his wall and , alas, more stuff about his life. By 2 p.m. -- for a tour that was to have started at 11 a.m.-- we were still not on the main street and were stuck listening to him talk about how to get psychedelic-inducing seeds from morning glory plants that were growing on a corner fence. Should definitely have skipped this tour and just gone shopping.

Tour guide is very entertaining and fun. This is a great $20!!!!!

My boyfriend and I overall really enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide was a Haight and Ashbury extraordinaire. His personality and love for the area made the tour so much more authentic. The sights to see in such a small area really take you back to the Summer of Love. The Grateful Dead's house, Janis Joplin's house, and the architecture are just a few sights to see on the tour. So if your interests include these things, you'll love this tour.

The tour was very interesting but the focus was much less on the "Summer of Love" and Hippies than it was on San Francisco architecture and wildlife. The tour guide informed us before we started that he was not in fact in or even around San Francisco during the "Summer of Love" and thus chose not to say much of anything about it. There was some talk about the Hippie culture but there was a heavier focus on building architecture and the types of trees that are grown in the area. All-in-all we thoroughly enjoyed the tour even though we were expecting something quite different.

Stan was great! I'd recommend him to anyone to lead this tour. Fun and facts galore!

I would and have recommended it to others
