My 21 year-old son and I took the morning tour on Feb. 20, and we both thought it was fantastic, and the best value of all of the San Francisco tours we did. Isu was an incredible tour guide - very knowledgable, enthusiastic and so funny! It was just the right mix of hippy history and architecture. I particularly enjoyed being able to go inside one of the houses. We took Isu's advice and had lunch afterwards at a local restaurant (Cha Cha Cha) - it was one of the best meals we had in San Francisco. Not only would I recommend this tour highly, if I ever come back to SF, I'll probably go on the tour again!

Highly recommended. I used to think hippies were just a bunch of slackers who did nothing but smoke up and laze around. The tour gave us a great backgrounder of how the whole movement started and the mindset behind it. Great bits of trivia as well. |

Fortunately, the walking tour went ahead on a sunny February day.
I found the tour very pleasurably and informative.
My tour guide was very friendly and helpful.
I would recommend the tour to anybody who was going to San Francisco. |

Our tour guide, Izu, transported us back to the heydays of Haight-Ashbury. Her knowledge of the area from the late 1800s to early 1900s brought that period back to life. Her willingness to share her rich, personal experiences from the 1970s made us long for the positive energy that was driving that period. This will be an experience I will always remember. |

Izu was our guide through the haight-ashbury neighborhood. We learned alot about the wild 60's/70's in the neighborhood. The shopping was awesome and recommendation of lunch was absolutely delicious. We learned of the Grateful Dead, janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and others who either did something or lived there. Our guide was friendly and excited as she spoke of the past. i recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco!!!!!!!!! |

We were only in San Francisco for a very short weekend and this tour was the bulk of our sightseeing. The tour guide, Isu, was unbelievable! She was extremely knowledgeable, humorous, and very entertaining. I recommend this tour to all, including any SF natives!! |

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our enthusiastic guide, Isu. She really took us back to the Sixties! It was especially fun for our grownup kids in their 20's who learned a little bit about what their parents' generation experienced at that time. Great restaurant recommendations, too. |

What an incredible 1st Wedding Anniversary!

All I can say is WOW! My wife & I were both blown away. I booked the Haight Ashbury Walking Tour online as a surprise anniversary gift and she absolutely loved it. Our tour guide Izu, & Pam (the tour creator) were just incredible and two of the kindest people we have ever met! They both have 1st hand experience in the Haight because they LIVED it! This is a very entertaining & informative tour. I recommended it to everyone who enjoys music, history, architecture, art & pop culture. If you're a classic rock music fan (& who isn't?), I guarantee you won't be disappointed. If you're interested in the Summer of Love and it's impact on the world in which we live today, please do yourself a favor and fly Trans-Love Airways (or any transportation available) to San Francisco USA. It will be worth it!
Brad & Stephanie
