| The Guide was very informative and entertaining. The tour was relaxing yet we moved along at a pace which allowed us to get the most out of our tour. Before venturing out alone in the Haight -Ashbury community I would highly recommend this tour.
I had the opportunity to take the tour by myself while my daughter was in a conference in the city. After her confferernce we went back to the Haights- Ashbury community to shop and have dinner. I was already familiar with the area which benefited us both. |

| Izu is a great tour guide! She showed us many points of interest, and even shared personal experiences from her years in the Haight. She is a true blue hippie, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the tour, and you can see that she truly loves the Haight and everything it offers. Having someone take us on the tour that experienced the hippie revolution first hand was a genuine experience, and exactly what I was looking for in the tour! |

| This was our third time on the tour and with our third and best guide. Not that any of the others weren't just great but Izu brings a whole new perspective to the tour and a lot of new information. |

| I would like to express how much I LOVED this tour. My mother actually found it when searching for stuff to do for our family vacation this past week, and I can honestly say it was at the top of the list on my "most favorite things about San Francisco." Izu is fun and entertaining as well as informative. Her friends are almost as colorful as she is often speaking to her about parties and her recently broken foot. They are so colorful, in fact, my father actually thought it might have been an act until we saw the same friend twice, which indicated that it was an entirely random coincidence. Izu keeps the tour interesting by explaining the history of a certain place, lets say the house where the Grateful Dead lived for two years, and then interjecting her own personal history into the tour for a little added flavor. On our tour, she mused about her mother having made dinner for Jerry Garcia. She also mentioned being woken up to the sounds of Jimi Hendrix (:D) in the morning, and going to Woodstock. That is not even the half of it. It is impossible to pack the amount of personality and punch that is packed within this tour in this small of a space. Her friends are the sweetest, and she knows generally everyone in the community. It is an amazing experience. She treats everyone like family even offering to bring clothes for you from her house if you end up cold, which I did. PACK IN LAYERS! Needless to say the only complaint I have wasn't even on the tour. The Haight-Ashbury T-shirt shop on the corner had some of the worst service I have ever seen. Go to her friend's store that she shows you with the painted walls..I think it is called "Simply Haight" across the street from the "Magnolia Grill and Brewery." |

| We had a great time touring the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood with our own hippie tour guide Izzu. She knew all the old haunts of the 60's counter culture.! |

| Izu, you are outstanding! Don't ever put the suits back on.... - your real life experiences and stories add something to this tour that make it one-of-a-kind. I really enjoyed this walk through history of the Haight Ashbury district. The most memorable experience of San Francisco I will take back with me to Canada. Love and Peace. |

| Guide was Izu who no doubt lived the life! Would not have appreciated the area, especially the buildings, without this tour. A great orientation for someone new to the area. We explored more after the tour. I recommend lunch with Sangria at Cha Cha Cha. The only complaint was that Izu insisted on waiting for a group of 9 who were very late. The 6 of us who were on time had to wait over 45 minutes to get started. It was good for them but not for us. It overlapped with our plans for the rest of the day and caused us to have to exit the tour early. |
