Our tour guide on the Flower Power walking tour was Izoo (is that spelled right?) She was great with her stories, pictures and knowledge! We had a lot of fun and were able to experience a lot of the history of the area up close. We were lucky to have a personal tour that day and would recommend Izoo and the tour to anyone who asked. Great tour and her enthusiasm was infectious! |

too much time standing in one spot as we listened to tour guide talk about irrelevant topics. less talk about Izu, more talk about events and history of HA. |

The tour was very fun and informative, filled with interesting details and tidbits. The sites were well chosen and the entire length, both in time and in walking amount, was perfect. I especially enjoyed the fact that my tour guide, Eizu (or Yzu - I didn't ask which spelling of Suzie/Suzy was spelled backward) was a part of the neighborhood both in the past of which she was speaking and the present. |

Our guide Izu (her name backwards without the leading S!) is what this tour is all about. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and one of life's characters. We thoroughly enjoyed it even though we are not Dead-heads. |

Really enjoyed our tour guide Izu -- an old time hippie that really enthusiastically showed us the various different homes that the musicians lived in. The pictures she provided on the tour and the museum we went to were also fun as was her knowledge of so many happenings. Would recommend this tour to anyone. |

We had a wonderful time. We learned so much and felt so well taken care of. She took the extra time and was very patient. She was so enthusiastic. I am sure she has been asked the same questions many times, but she answered as if she was waiting to answer just that question. We would take it again and definitely recommend. Thank you for the great time. Dave and Elizabeth |

Our tour guide Izu was fantastic. She was passionate about the culture and the history. It brought back many moments in history for us that meant alot more by being there. I am 59 and my husband is 42 and we both enjoyed every minute. There was a man and his teenage son in our group too and he saw some of the stuff his Dad had been talking about for years. We even went over in the time the tour was supposed to be but we were ready for more. We stayed in the area after the tour and tried a recommendation by Izu for lunch and it was a wonderful experience. We had so much fun. I would recommend this to anyone that is a hippy, knows a hippy, wants to be a hippy, was a hippy or just loves that era or enjoys the history of the area. |

My daughter and i really thought our guide did one fantastic job. Since i am of the same era ( and a wanna be hippie then) I really enjoyed all the trivia, facts and her expertise. I would recommend this trip to anyone. |

My girlfriend and I almost didn't wake up for the tour, but decided to at the last minute! We are so happy we did! Eizu was wonderful! She was friendly, so knowledgeable and was a wonderful representative for the Haight-Ashbury community. I especially liked that she never lost her cool and was respectful when one of the homeless people gave his own input on the tour!
If you can go with a smaller group during a weekday, I reccommend doing that like us BUT the experience is wonderful either way I'm sure!!!
Thanks Eizu! |
