This walking tour led by Izu was the absolute highlight of our very enjoyable trip to San Francisco. The fabulous walk back in time felt more like a stroll among family and friends than a commercial sightseeing tour.
We were a small group of only 6 people on a drizzly Saturday morning, but Izu turned it into a sunny day with her funny remarks and wonderfully authentic stories.
And that's the main point: Izu didn't study the history of Haight-Ashbury - she lived it!
Do yourself a favor and go on this tour - San Francisco at its best!

P.S. Izu recommends the Cuban restaurant Cha Cha Chas for lunch, and this, too, was simply wonderful. |

For two boomers living in New York City in the 60's, it was fun to see where it was all happening in San Francisco at the time. Especially entertaining was our guide who, having actually lived through the times as an active participant, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic (and funny!) and totally transported us back into that day and age. She's a great show and we highly recommend the tour. |

Very informative, colorful and sometimes humorus trip back to the summer of love amongist other things. My 16 year old daughter thought it was "cool". Our guide Eisu, grew up in the area, met personally with the people she was taking about and is still passionate about what was trying to be accomplised back in the sixties. Its a real trip! |

This was a very fun time! I learned alot about the area the guide was very knowledgeable on the history and some very interesting facts about the haight area.
I would recommend anyone that is in the area take this tour if you remember anything about the hippie era. Was very informative and just a lot of fun! |

Cool insider who knows the neighborhood and the neighbors. Touched upon Haight history with annecdotes and visuals. A total insider with personality plus, at the end of the tour, we felt like we could call her and ask, "What's going on IZU?"
If anything, it would be cool to provide a bit more of an academic slant a la American Social History, so teens could get an idea of how important the cultural movement was. How America was turning a corner, losing its innocence, and the young people of this country, their beliefs and convictions truly affected our Nation's development at the end of the twentieth century. The Haight in the sixties and seventies wasn't just about clothing, hair, and drugs. It was about very significant political and philosophical change. To some young developing minds, it's about wearing the tee shirt. That is disappointing.

This was an excellent walkiing tour of Haight Ashbury...both informative and lots of fun. Our tour guide (Izu) had "lived the life" so she was full of lots of information and personal stories. She had lived thru the summer of love and still lives in the area today. My friend and I both totally enjoyed the tour. |

This was an extremely enjoyable tour. Izu was fun, and had lots of knowledge and juicy tidbits to depart! It was our most favorite activity in our trip to San Francisco. I truly felt that I had a sense of what things were like in the 60's, and what the community is like now. We spent another 3 hours wandering the shops, eating lunch, and enjoying the atmosphere.
Izu was a blast. We laughed and listened and strolled along enjoying every moment. Thanks!!!! |

ALOT of FUN. Very informative, we learned a lot of new things about our history, even as one of us, was a child of the Sixties.. ISUZ, our tour guide, is extremely passionate about her neighborhood. The tour is full of the neighborhood's/communitie's history, architecture, and the "Summer of Love." Personal accounts of hippies added to the tour's fun factor. Favorite moments include understaning why the clock stays put at 4:20, how the diggers sponsored free meals, and where the Dead, Janus lived and loved. ISUZ is the tour. |
