Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour

My husband and I took the Flower Power Walking Tour right at the end of our trip to San Francisco and it truly was the icing on an already very groovy cake! Izu was a fabulous guide... Fun, informative, and best of all, authentic (to coin a Digger term). She relayed plenty of colorful facts and interesting personal stories, making the Haight of the Sixties come to life before our eyes. The Hippie Museum was fascinating as well. Thank goodness you all are keeping the dream alive. Power to you! Not only will I recommend the tour to others, I will gladly do it again next time we visit the city.

Recently, my 2 friends and I set out on our Senior Trip after our Graduation from High School. I am a nostalgic individual and I have been fascinated with the hippie counterculture since I can remember. I came across the Haight Tour on the internet and I thought I would give it a try. Although, I was unaware that this tour was going to be one of the main highlights of our trip. I completely recommend this tour for anyone that is interested in history, especially the 60's. Izu, our tour guide, was amazing beyond all reason. She really made the experience a great one. Izu is a unique person with a big heart and I would recommend having her as a guide any day. Her knowledge and natural connection with the love generation makes the tour a great one! This tour really made my senior trip and I am totallly amazed that I was able to view and experience what I did. It has always been a dream of mine to take a time machine and travel back into the sixties, this is the closest I could've gotten :o) Highly HIGHLY recommend. Amazing!

It was a very nice walking tour with a perfect guide, Esu? We come from Denmark, very far from San Francisco and for us it was fantastic to be in these areas, where the hippie movement started. There were many good stories, maybe some of them were lies, but that does'nt matter. It was very entertaining. And we had many good pictures from the houses where Grateful Dead and Country Joe lived many years ago.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. She provided lots of detail about the people, architecture and shopping areas. It was a comfortable walk around the neighborhoods. If you are interested in finding out more about the late 60s in Haight Ashbury then this is the tour for you!

Izu our tour guide was a hoot and the highlight of the tour. Her personal perspective of the era coupled with her knowledge and stories made it entertaining and informative (and FUN). Would be nice if you offered private tours...we would have signed up for one if we knew about it.

Izu and Benny were excellent hosts and we enjoyed the tour immensely! It was wonderfully fun and informative and was one of the highlights of our visit. We highly recommend this tour and will do it again next time we are in town. The whole thing was an absolute delight!! The Hip Family

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. I used to live in SF, so I particularly liked the history of the area, how it was built up from sand dunes and the architecure. My husband likes rock & roll music and was familiar with most of the musicians and groups mentioned, as well as some of the musical landmarks. It was a very enjoyable way to spend the morning, and the guide was very informative and interesting. Plus he knows everyone in the neighborhood, which gives the "big city" a friendlier feel.

Tour guide: Energetic, knowledgeable, very inclusive of all members of group, tons of fun Tour sites: The highlights of the 60s Haight-Ashbury, lots of chances for photos, informative stop at the Psychedelic History Museum Even as a local, I learned more about the history of the neighborhood, of particular buildings, and even sidewalk art! Great tour, highly recommended.

that was what we were feeling after our tour with our super guide Izu, what a great walk down Memory lane and the coolness factor for my teenage son was off the charts. Learn what hippies were really about, their concern for the planet is so pertinent today. Recommend this highly if you want something different than the standard tours. Great food and shopping in the area! So come early or stay late.

Very energetic guide! Very interesting, lots of info on the hippie movement. Lots of anecdotes. But we stand a lot! It would have been nice to walk a little more. We could stay 20 minutes without moving.... Would have liked to learn more about the different shops on Haight street. Very good guide.
