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!

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. |

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. |

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. |

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!

We had a fabulous time. Izu, Eco and Benny were great tour guides and companions for our day in the Haight. From the moment we met, it was like getting a tour from old friends. Izu answered all our questions, Eco was a great "Knight in Shining Armor" and Benny was the perfect mascot. Your energy balance really made our trip memorable. We got some fantastic photos! Thank you for a great day! |

This tour was fun, interesting and educational. Who better than to give the tour than an original hippie who got to truly experience the Haight back in the day. The tour guide was very thurough and also quite funny. It was one of the best things I did while visiting San Francisco. You should take this tour! |

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was full of detail on history, architecture, detailed knowledge of the neighborhood, a good recommendation of a restaurant, the guide was wonderful (Ivo? Igo? I can't remember, but if you can provide an e-mail address, I would like to tell her how much I enjoyed the tour. |

Izu, our tour guide, was quite the character and seemed to have never quite left the '60's.
She'd been there, done that!
Saw all sorts of great locations and homes (Joplin, Dead, Hell's Angels, Free Clinic, etc), heard terrific stories, saw excellent vintage photos that she had collected, knew lots of people we passed along the route. And, because of a foot injury, Izu did this all from a wheelchair!! (a friend pushed her along on the tour, along with her pet dachsund). Tour lasted nearly three hours, way longer than expected.
Had a GREAT time!!!! Wife and I loved it, as did our kids, son 18 and daughter 21 years old! Would highly recommend the tour!! |
