| My husband and I took this tour with our four children ages 11 through 16. We are music lovers and enjoyed seeing where the Greatful Dead and others lived. The tour gave our children an appreciation for 1960's and a better understanding of what a hippie believes. Our tourguide was part and parcel of the tour and without her I don't think that the tour would have the same impact. She has lived in the Haight Ashbury neigborhood for many years and is a self described "huppy" which in her words is a hippy with yuppy tastes. I think she gave us a real flavor of the neighborhood and did a terrific job on educating us on its history. I would recommend this tour for anyone who either enjoyed the music of the 60's or who wants a better understanding of the hippy movement. | ||||||

| I jst took my second Haight tour last week. My first was 6 months ago in February. This time my wife was with me. We both had an excellent time. The tour is fun. The tour guide was knowledgable on rock and roll history, 60's - present day culture, local events and politics. She had a great memory for detail and was able to provide first-hand pearls of wisdom. This tour is well worth the cost. My wife and I will return with friends someday and take the tour again, Two thumbs up. Bill Burdick | ||||||

| My husband, 13-year old stepson, and I had a really great time on our Flower Power walking tour. We toured the entire Haight Ashbury neighborhood, saw lots of sights we would never have found/seen on our own, and very much enjoyed chatting with our walking tour host Izu and Hippy Gourmet sister Pam Brennan. Izu, having lived in the neighborhood for much of her adult life, was very knowledgeable about all things Haight Ashbury. She was lots of fun, with many stories and special insights to share. She was great at interacting with the group, even our 13-year old! It was also a treat to visit Pam at her Bed (& No-More-Breakfast?) to see all the memorabilia of life in the late 60's and in the neighborhood. We highly recommend this walking tour... | ||||||

| The Haight Ashbury Tour was great fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the neighborhood and its history. For those of you that enjoy walking tours, you know that many can be accomplished with a guide book. We definately benefited and learned more from having a guide. (She was absolutely fabulous!) The people in our group ranged in age and were great company . I would highly recommend it. | ||||||

| Both grandma and 12 year old son came along on the tour with us, and we all enjoyed it. The tour guide is exceptional in sustaining one's attention, relating past events, and interacting with all on the tour. The stop at the Psychedelic Museum seemed a little long, as we all stood around a table covered with memoriabilia and information (which was not introduced), while the owner lectured about the legalization of marijuana. It was not really that long, but after standing and walking an hour prior to the museum, it would have been nice to sit in a circle for about 10 or 15 minutes and receive some insight about the memorabilia in the museum. Personal views and stances on any issues was not of interest , because there was much to see and know about the incredible archietecture of the homes in Haight-Ashbury. Also, the tour guide provided specific information about particular individuals and incidents that occured during the summer of love... some interesting gossip! I would recommend the tour. I believe this tour has just recently started, and the tour guide is very interested in feedback so to make it the best tour possible. After spending mega bucks on tours while in the San Francisco area, this tour cost pennies and was in our top two favorites. I would recommend this tour to all ages. The advertisement I read appeared as if a lot of walking would took place. However, there is not much walking, but more standing in front of a home, building, etc. while learning about it. Therefore , don't be discouraged by the title "walking tour". Also, a light weight fold out chair could be carried so to sit while during times of standing for several minutes. | ||||||

| A great way to spend a morning! Our guide Izu was well-informed and funny, and we really got a sense for what it was like to be in Haight-Ashbury during the 60s. | ||||||

| I have just returned from San Francisco where I took the Haight Ashbury Flower Power tour. Our guide Izu was amazing. She was filled with amazing knowledge and zeal for all the history that the Haight area had to offer. Her first hand stories were interesting and we learned so much about the area that a tour book never would have provided. Her detailed stories and tour were really cool. She also pointed us to the best places to eat and shop in the area. I recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in the Summer of Love, or would like to see more of the Haight than the store front hype. | ||||||

Turn On Tune In Drop Out

| I turned on when I arrived in San Francisco on July 13 in 2006 and read your yellow flyer. I tuned in the next day when I booked your tour. And I dropped out when I took part in that fabulous Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour on July 15. Our great guide Izue (?) supplied us with a cornupia of information concerning the Haight-Ashbury's yesterday, today and tomorrow. There was enough to savour for everyone, from the Dead Head to the Victorian Head, and we all became de(a)-dicated Gossip Heads. The tour time just flew by and many of us spent the rest of the day in the Haight-Ashbury, sadly without Izue - but very grateful. And I got a violet tour badge! | ||||||

Best tour I've ever taken!

| I travel a great deal for work and make an effort to see as much as I can of the places I visit. When I made plans to go to San Francisco, I knew I had to see the Haight-Ashbury district, but didn't know how best to go about it so I just planned to go down and walk around the neighborhood. Fortunately, I'd ordered the San Francisco Basic Visitor's Kit when making my travel plans and that's where I saw a listing for the Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour. I happened to be staying in town over a Saturday and booked a spot on the tour. Izu, our tour guide, was fantastic. She's friendly, open, funny and has lived in the neighborhood for many years. She definitely provides the insider's view of the neighborhood and shares a great deal of information not just about the area's heyday in the 60's-70's, but also about its current status and activities. It was obvious as we walked around the neighborhood that Izu was well-known and liked in her community and many locals joined in at different stops on the tour to share their own viewpoints and memories . Obviously, we saw the expected sites -- the Grateful Dead house, the Charles Manson house, etc. -- but Izu showed us a number of other great things very specific to the neighborhood/area and gave us the background of each...something I'd have never known or even noticed had I just walked the neighborhood on my own. I can't recommend this tour highly enough!! It was definitely the highlight of my trip to San Francisco and is one of the best "tourist" things I've done in all of my travels. | ||||||

| We found this tour mentioned in a Frommer's guide and it was much better than we'd expected. It was great to have a tour guide like Izu who had actually been in Haight Ashbury during the times she was telling us about. Not only did we get the historic information, but lots of great personal stories that really made it real. Izu tells it like it is and it's a very informal tour, very colourful. We recommended it to everyone we talked to for the rest of our trip! | ||||||

| My husband and I loved the Flower Power walking tour. Isu was so great and talk about a lady who LIVED the 60’s and 70’s!! Loved the visit to Pam’s Bed and Breakfast too. Isu recommended that we go to the Magnolia for lunch, and her recommendation did not disappoint. We would highly recommend this tour to any one. Music buffs will be in heaven!!

| My tour through Haight was very unique. Our tour guide Izu was a true hippie who was there for the summer of love in 1967 and has been living in Haight for a good part of her life. She new the area and the history very well. There was a lot to see and do and I thought the walking tour was a great way to really experience this first hand. Haight has always been a unique area with interesting people and ideas and Izu was definitely the perfect person to show you around town. I would recommend this tour to anyone visting the San Francisco area, and definitely check out Amobea records, that place is amazing. I think anyone will like this tour, unless of course your really straight edge. | ||||||
