Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour

Izu was a wonderful and enthusiastic guide! She could relate to all ages and my 21 year old daughter especially enjoyed the tour.

Izu was one of the most interesting tour guides that my husband and I have ever encountared. She was full of such interesting and knowledgable facts about the Haight-Ashbury district. I recommend this tour because Izu has experienced the Haight-Ashbury district since the beginning of Summer of love.

Izu our guide was very charming, exuding hippyesque charm, while being very knowledgeable about the Haight. I highly recommend Izu and this tour, one of my highlights of my trip to San Fran.

My partner and i enjoyed this walking tour tremendously. Isu kept the tour informative and funny. She was an exceptional tour guide. I have already recommended the tour to friends and they have already booked future tours! Isu offered valuable first hand experience that i'm sure no one else has. Our group was enthusiastic and fun. A nice mix of nice people! Well worth the $20--a steal! Isu offered info you won't find in any guide book!

I was born in SF, went to college in SF & have lived in SF. Been a Bay Area dude all my life. I've strolled The Haight many times over the years, but I've never had as much fun there as I did on Izu's tour. A nice balance of history, architecture, Fun Facts & Summer of Love anecdotes delivered by a woman who really may have been born to give this tour. She's entertaining, knowledgeable, engaging, and willing to listen while still keeping it moving. I learned a lot and had a great time. I'm looking forward to doing this tour again, bringing along my wife & some friends. I liked that the bulk of the tour took place on paths parallel to and crossing Haight so we could take time to soak up the details of the experience our guide created for us without getting distracted by the actual street itself. There was plenty of time for dining & shopping afterwards. The extended stop at the Haight/Ashbury B&B and museum may have gone on a bit too long, but was really enjoyable and provided some unexpected insights. For some, The Sixties may just be an odd looking street sign in our collective rear view mirror, but Izu makes a fine case for how the Spirit of that time continues to live, thrive and inspire. Inhale the Joy!

My husband and I were in San Francisco celebrating my 50th birthday. One of my dreams has always been to visit the Haight-Ashbury district, because I've been so heavily influenced by the "summer of love" and its philosophies. I have to say that our tour guide, Izu, was the best. She made this so much fun! It was great to go on this tour with her, since she actually lived in this area during the 60's and had much insight into what was really going on in that era. She showed us much of the history of the area - of course we saw the homes that the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and other musicians of that time lived in. Izu really made the tour - she was very witty, kind, fun, and knowledable - and the ultimate hippie! Thanks to her, this was the highlight of our trip. We thoughly enjoyed it. We highly recommend it. Thanks so much !! Peace, Sophia from Baltimore

The tour guide provided many little or unknown details of the "Summer of Love". There was much information that we would not have known if we had simply walked around the Haight Ashbury district. Our tour guide was very attached to the hippie era, and provided a good insight. Although I am a liberal minded person at heart, it would be good to keep in mind that not everything was great about 1967, and that many artists of that time did not live very long afterwards.

My teenage daughter and I did this tour recently on our trip to Northern California. Man, what a treat! The tour guide was awesome and was quite knowledgable of the area and the local residents of Haight-Ashbury, having lived there for some time. The tour even went over and no one in our little group noticed, as we were so consumed with the stories, etc. that he was giving us. It was a very nice tour and I would highly reccomend it!

When we knew we'd be in the San Francisco area, we looked for the different and unique tours. We had read about the "Summer of Love" area and wanted to experience the area ourselves. Your guide was wonderful, giving alot of local culture along with his expertise of the subject. We would highly recommend this tour to others and have already to anybody that will be in the bay area.

This was a terrific tour for any audience: the music fan, the history buff, the neo-hippie, the architecture buff, or the just plain curious. Our tour guide Stan Fluoride was a neighborhood resident of nearly 20 years, greeted frequently along the way by locals. He was knowledgeable, funny and objective about the area and its history, focusing not just on the late 60's but on the periods prior to and since that time. His passion for the topics and the place stretched our two-hour tour to three hours, so I'd say that Stan gave us our money's worth and more.
